Suppose that we have a sequence of occurrences. We assume that the time [math]X[/math] between occurrences is exponentially distributed with [math]\lambda = 1/10[/math], so on the average, there is one occurrence every 10 minutes (see Example).

You come upon this system at time 100, and wait until the next occurrence. Make a conjecture concerning how long, on the average, you will have to wait. Write a program to see if your conjecture is right.
