6 The random variable \(T\) is the time, in suitable units, between two successive arrivals in a hospital casualty department. The probability density function of \(T\) is f , where
$$\mathrm { f } ( t ) = \begin{cases} 0.2 \mathrm { e } ^ { - 0.2 t } & t \geqslant 0
0 & \text { otherwise } \end{cases}$$
State the expected value of \(T\).
Write down the distribution function of \(T\) and find \(\mathrm { P } ( T > 10 )\).
