    It is important.
    Keep practising.
    Yes! You can get past exam papers on the site.

    I just checked the past papers from 2005 onwards. It's not there in any one of them. So skip it.

    Very dangerous to assume that if a topic has not been examined for many years that it will not come up in the paper you are sitting!

    I just checked the 2000-04 papers as well. Not even once this topic has been examined and for good reason. It's a four page proof!

    Technically, this proof only came into the syllabus in 2005 (if I remember correctly).

    However, it would be unusual to ask such a long proof - as it would require many marks on just one small aspect of the syllabus. The application is more important.

    The shorter waiting time proof (given in the exponential distribution section) was asked a long time ago.

    However, I have to say that they could ask it as it is in the syllabus...
