Answer: 0.9765

Explanation:

The cumulative distribution function for exponential distribution for random variable x is given by :-

F(x)=1-e^{-\lambda x}, where \lambda is the mean of the distribution .

Given : On average, 5 customers arrive at the drive-up window of a fast-food restaurant every 4 minutes during the lunch hour.

Then \lambda=\dfrac{5}{4}=1.25

Now, the probability that the next customer will arrive within three minutes :-

P(x< 3)=1-e^{-1.25 \times 3}=0.97648225\approx0.9765

Hence, the probability that the next customer will arrive within three minutes = 0.9765
