A store opens at 8:00am with one customer in the queue. After every minute, a newcustomer will arrive in the queue with probabiltiy p and the first person in the queue wllbe served with probability q. If arrivals and service are independent, find the probabilitythat there will be 2 customers in the queue after 2 minutes.

In this problem, we are asked to calculate the probability of having 2 customers in a queue at a…
