When the 6 or 8 bus arrives at the university, the next bus (either the 6 or the 8) arrives after holding time T~ Exp(4) (units are in hours). (a) What is the expected number of buses that arrive in a two-hour period? (b) What is the probability that at least two buses arrives in a 10 minute period. (c) Consider the 6 consecutive 10 minute periods between 3pm and 4pm. What is the probability that at least one of these periods has two or more buses arriving in it?
