Re: Question: arrival-time puzzle



Regarding:
Suppose a lot of busses whiz past your window. The events are IID, that
is, Independent and Identically Distributed over time. The average rate is
6 busses per hour.

Fact: At any random time, if you ask how long it has been since the last
bus, the answer is 10 minutes, on average.

Is this true???
