Can u solve this please

The time between successive arrivals of the planes to a busy airport is random variable which
follows exponential distribution. It was observed that on average planes arrive the airport every
five minutes (1/2=5 min) and average number of arrivals in one minute is λ =
0.2 arrivals
1 min
a. The probability that the time between successive arrivals is less than 10 minutes is
b. The probability that the time between successive arrivals is more than 5 minutes is
c. The probability that the time between successive arrivals is between 10 and 15 minutes is
