a. What is the probability that 3 customers arrive between 12:00pm and 12:15pm?
b. What is the probability that 3 customers arrive between 12:00pm and 12:15pm and 6 customers arrive between 12:30pm and 1:00pm?
c. What is the probability that 3 customers arrive between 12:00pm and 12:15pm or 6 customers arrive between 12:30pm and 1:00pm?
d. What is the probability that a total of 10 customers arrive between 12:00pm and 12:15pm and 12:45pm and 1:00pm? That is, the total count is 10 for both of these time intervals combined.
