Let X = the time between two successive arrivals (in minutes) at a drive thru window. Suppose X is exponentially distributed, and that the average time between successive arrivals at the drive thru window is 1.2 minutes. What is the value of lambda, the parameter of exponential distribution? What is the probability that the next drive thru arrival is between 1 to 4 minutes from now? What is the probability that the next drive thru arrival is greater than 2...

Let X and Y denote the remaining lifetimes of a husband and wife. Assume that the remaining lifetime of each person has an exponential distribution with mean λ and that the remaining lifetimes are independent. An insurance company offers two products to married couples: One which pays when the first spouse dies, that is, at time min(X,Y), and one which pays when the second spouse dies, that is, at time max(X,Y). Calculate the covariance between the two payment timers.
