A manufacturing machine produces items with a defect rate that follows a Poisson process with an intensity λ\lambda. If the time between two consecutive defects is TT, and we observe nn independent inter-defect times T1,T2,,TnT_1, T_2, \dots, T_n, what is the distribution of the sum S=i=1nTiS = \sum_{i=1}^n T_i?
