It is given that the mean in the hour interval (that is, 60-minutes interval) is 30,then 30/60=0.5 is the mean in the 1-minute interval and 30/60*5=0.5*5=2.5 is the mean in the 5-minutes interval.
I am working on question "what is the probability of 3 customers arriving in a 5 min interval?" Looking at the solution, where does the 2.5 come from?
