Nov 2, 2016 at 19:05 comment added Ian I don't understand the question. You just said that the number of events in a fixed interval is Poisson distributed. Why would you then calculate probabilities with an exponential distribution? You can of course, it is the probability that a sum of 7 iid exponential random variables is greater than $\lambda t $, but this requires an integral of the gamma distribution which will just give another expression for the same result.

Sep 23, 2016 at 0:46 comment added Glen_b When you say "using an exponential distribution" do you mean to do something other than take advantage of the resulting Poisson distribution or do you mean using that relationship to the Poisson? Is the time in which these $n$ events are to occur known?
