Question:
Suppose we are counting events that occur according to a Poisson distribution, such as the number of automobile accidents at a left-turn lane. If it is known that exactly one such event has occurred in a given interval of time, say (0, t), then the actual time of occurrence is uniformly distributed over this interval. Suppose that during a given 30-minute period, one accident occurred. Find the probability that the accident occurred during the last 5 minutes of the 30-minute period.
