Jolt - Exp
The soda machine outside the lecture hall sees a steady stream of customers throughout the day. While the machine takes 4 seconds to deliver a can of carbonated sugar water once the button is pressed, the student customers introduce variation into the delivery process by pondering their selection for a while. Thus, we can safely say that the service time is governed by a negative exponential probability distribution that averages 10 seconds. Over the course of a twelve-hour lecture day, students arrive at the rate of 240 per hour, Poisson distributed of course.


Nathan is cutting it close today. At 10:00:00 AM, the professor will close the door to the classroom and ignore any requests to enter the room once his scintillating lecture has begun. Nathan approaches the soda machine at 9:59:20. Will he make it to class on time?

• Nathan will be late by ten seconds.

• Nathan will be exactly on time.

• Nathan will be early by ten seconds.

• Nathan will be early by twenty seconds.
