Suppose that the amount of time a hospital patient must wait for a nurse's help is described by a continuous random variable with density function f(t) = e-t/3 where t≥ 0 is measured in minutes. (a) What is the probability that a patient must wait for more than 4 minutes? (b) A patient spends a week in the hospital and requests nurse assistance once each day. What is the probability that the nurse will take longer than 5 minutes to respond on (exactly) two occasions? (c) What is the probability that on at least one call out of seven, the nurse will take longer than 7 minutes to respond?
