The function of the probability is .
Where represents the number of minutes.
(a)
\How many minutes are needed for the probability to reach .
Therefore,
Substitute in
.
From the definition if and only if
.
minutes are needed for the probability to reach
.
(b)
\How many minutes are needed for the probability to reach .
Therefore,
Substitute in
.
From the definition if and only if
.
minutes are needed for the probability to reach
.
(c) Is it possible for the probability to equal .
Consider the probability is .
Therefore,
Substitute in
.
From the definition if and only if
.
.
Since is not defined,there is no solution for above equation.
Therefore, there is no posibility for the probability to equal .
(a) minutes are needed for the probability to reach
.
(b) minutes are needed for the probability to reach
.
(c) There is no posibility for the probability to equal .
