C). A dental clinic at which only one dentist works is open only two days a week. During those two days, the traffic arrivals follow a Poisson distribution with patients arriving at the rate of three per hour. The doctor serves patients at the rate of one every 15 minutes. (a) What is the probability that the clinic is empty (except for the dentist and staff)? (b) What is the probability that there are one or more patients in the system? (c) What is the probability that there are four patients in the system? (d) What is the probability that there are four or more patients in the system?

A barbershop is operated by one barber and has a space capacity to accommodate for a total of 6 customers (including the one in service). If a customer comes to this shop and finds it full, he goes to other shops. Customers arrive according to Poisson distribution at a rate of 4.1 customers per hour. The barber’s service time is exponential and he can serve at a rate of 7.1 customers per hour. a. What is the probability that the barber is free? Answer = Answer b. What is the expected number of people in the system? Answer = Answer c. What is the expected waiting time in the queue? Answer = Answerhours. (hint: use effective arrival rate)
