b. What is the standard deviation of the waiting times?

c. What is the probability that the waiting time is between 5 and 10 minutes?

The average waiting time for getting served at a specific restaurant is 6 minutes. Let X denotes the waiting time to get served at the restaurant, and X follows an exponential distribution. You have waited 2 minutes. What is the probability that you have to wait for another 10 minutes or more to receive your service? report at least two decimal spaces (value between 0 and 1, not in percentage)

The mean waiting time at the drive-through of a fast-food restaurant from the time an order is placed to the time the order is received is 84.3 seconds. A manager devises a new drive-through system that he believes will decrease wait time. He initiates the new system at his restaurant and measures the wait time for eleven randomly selected orders. The wait times are provided in the table below. Based on the given data, is the new system effective? Use...

The mean waiting time at the drive-through of a fast-food restaurant from the time an order is placed to the time the order is received is 84.3 seconds. A manager devises a new drive-through system that he believes will decrease wait time, on average. He initiates the new system at his restaurant and measures the wait time for 12 randomly selected orders. Summary statistics for the 12 orders are given below: Mean 78.4 Standard deviation 14.1 Calculate the test-statistic (with...
