The number of cars that arrive at an inspection station within a time period of one hour follows a Poison distribution with hourly rate/expectation 2 = 5. Further, the time à car waits at the inspection station once it arrives before moving on (finishes inspection) follows an exponential distribution with parameter 0 = 3 minutes. What is the probability that more than 5 cars arrive in a 1 hour period?
