A man arrives to the bus station.
If the bus arrive to the station within 10 minutes the man returne home by bus
Else - he walk back home and it takes him 10 minutes
Bus arrival time is exponentially distributed with parameter = 1/8 minutes
Bus riding time is exponentially distributed with parameter = 1/12

A. What is the probability that the man will arrive home in 20 minutes maximum (t<=20)

B.what is the mean of the time length the man waits every day
 
Nice problem. Can you please tell us where you are stuck so that we can help you?
 
A. P = (no problem here) p1(case in which we wait 10 minutes and walk 10 minutes) + (here I have the problem) p2(station waiting + walk time). I know p2 supposed to be calculated by conditional probability but I'm not sure how to solve it. Thank you!
