Theory and poisson process

Reference no: EM1398789

People arrive a a particular sales counter at the rate of 6 in any 15 minute period and are served on a "first come first served" basis. Arrivals occur randomly throughout the hour and the arrival rate is the same during the entire business day. It takes 5 minutes to service a single customer. How likely is it that exactly 1 customer will arrive in any 5 minutes?

Using the basic informaion from above: If there are no additional customers waiting (or walking up to the counter) when a particular customer begins her transaction, what is the probability that no one will be waiting in line when her transaction is finished?
