Expert Solution
Introduction

In this problem, we are given data on three buses that arrived at a busy bus stop during a 30-minute period. Specifically, we are given the number of doors each bus has, the number of passengers who alighted from the front door, and the number of passengers who boarded the bus. We are also given information on the time it takes for passengers to alight or board the bus, as well as the time it takes for the bus doors to open. Using this information, we are tasked with determining the number of passengers who alighted from the back door of each bus.
