Final answer:

Without context or a known policy for Dr. Nama's timeliness, it's impossible to answer the question. The provided problems relate to the use of exponential distribution in probability theory to calculate timings between events and time management for completing tasks.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question does not provide enough information to determine exactly how late Dr. Nama can be for her visits to be considered timely as it lacks a context or a known policy. However, for the math problems given:

  1. Exponential distribution is key when dealing with the timing of events that happen independently and at a constant average rate, as seen in the urgent care facility scenario.
  2. Calculating the probability of events occurring within a certain timeframe involves using the formula for exponential distribution, fundamental in probability theory and statistics.
  3. Understanding and calculating the time management for task completion, such as Maria's errands before meeting her friend, is an essential everyday math application.
