(a)  What is the cumulative distribution function and the variance of the waiting time?

(b)  What is the probability that the first call after 9:30 a.m. is between 9:45 a.m. and 9:55 a.m.?

(c)   If there is no call between 9:30 a.m. and 9:45 a.m., what is the probability that there will be no call between 9:30 a.m. and 9:55 a.m.?
