C4 ASM question 62.10

[Pi Man]

question 62.10 reads "...is distributed according to an exponential distribution..."

should this read "gamma"? am i missing something crucial? i thought the section was based on the assumption that the poisson parameter was distributed as a gamma...

Without looking at the problem, isn't an exponential a gamma with alpha equal to one?

thanks, man.
