7. If desired, calculate P(t), the probability of waiting longer than a given time, by keying
in the time and pressing
t.

Example 3:
Using the data from example 1 of the keystroke solutions verify the data
obtained. In addition, obtain P
0
, the probability that none of the tellers are busy, and P
b
the probability that all the tellers are busy. What is the probability that a customer will
have to wait 2 minutes or more?
