Question:

In a data communication system, several messages that arrive at a node are bundled into a packet before they are transmitted over the network. Assume the messages arrive at the node according to a Poisson process with r = 30 messages per minute. Five messages are used to form a packet.
(a) What is the mean time until a packet is formed, that is, until five messages arrived at the node?
(b) What is the standard deviation of the time until a packet is formed?
(c) What is the probability that a packet is formed in less than 10 seconds?
(d) What is the probability that a packet is formed in less than 5 seconds?
