    Central Limit Theorem and Exponential Distribution



    Exponential Distribution with lambda = 1/2. Use the central limit theorem to estimate the probability that the average service time of the first n customers is less than 2.5 minutes, when:
    n = 16
    n = 36
    n = 100

    After reviewing the chapter notes, I'm asked to estimate:
    the probability that the average service time of the first n customers is less than 2.5 minutes, when:
    n = 16, 36, 100.

    Any hint on what formula or theorem to use for this?

    Well you might want to see if you can apply the Central Limit Theorem to figure out the sampling distribution of the sample mean for this exponential distribution.
