The service time for a passport application in a certain government office is modelled as an exponential random variable with parameter λ = 5 per hour, independent and identically distributed for all applicants. Determine the probability that 50 applicants is accommodated within eight hours. Determine the maximum number of applicants such that the chance of accommodating all of them within eight hours is at least 95%.
