a. The probability that the time between any two successive arrivals exceeds20 minutes
A proposal has been presented to the government of Newfoundland and Labrador that would build a new section of highway which would provide improved access for residents of a remote coastal area near Bonavista. The highway would be 16 kilometres in length. The initial proposal called for 7 toll booths, each staffed by an employee. But a subsequent proposal recommended replacing the employees with machines. Many factors must be considered because the intended employees are unionized. However, one of the government's concerns is the effect that replacing the employees with machines will have on the times the drivers spend in the system. Customers will arrive to any one toll booth at a rate of 9 per minute. In the exact-change lanes with employees, the service time is essentially constant at 5 seconds for each driver. With machines, the average service time would still be 5 seconds, but it would be exponential rather than constant, because it takes time for the coins to rattle around in…
International Cranberry Uncooperative (ICU) is a competitor to the National Cranberry Cooperative (NCC). At ICU, barrels of cranberries arrive on trucks at a rate of 150 barrels per hour and are processed continuously at a rate of 100 barrels per hour. Trucks arrive at a uniform rate over eight hours, from 6:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. Assume the trucks are sufficiently small so that the delivery of cranberries can be treated as a continuous inflow. The first truck arrives at 6:00 a.m. and unloads immediately, so processing begins at 6:00 a.m. The bins at ICU-can hold up to 200 barrels of cranberries before overflowing. If a truck arrives and the bins are full, the truck must wait until there is room in the bins. If each truck can hold 25 barrels, how many trucks are waiting at 2 pm? 8 trucks 10 trucks 6 trucks 9 trucks

In Queuing Theory, statistical pattern by which customers arrive over a period of time, follows 1. Binomial distribution 2. Normal distribution 3. Poisson distribution 4. Long-normal distribution
Customers arrive at a carwash on average once every 40 minutes. It seems likely that customer arrivals follow an exponential distribution. For each of these random numbers, calculate the simulated time between arrivals at the carwash. (Round your answers the nearest whole number.) Random Number Time Between Arrivals 0.27 0.84 0.23
Customers arrive at a bank counter manned by a single cashier according to Poisson distribution with mean arrival rate 6 customers/hour. The cashier attends the customers on first come first serve basis at an average rate of 10 customers/hour with the service time exponentially distributed.

Consider the scenario of customers entering a store. If the mean arrival rate of customers is 10 customers per hour and each customer spends half an hour on average in the store, what is the average number of customers in the store at any given point of time?
Vehicles on a highway arrive at a security checkpoint at a Poisson rate of 20 per hour. At the checkpoint, vehicles are inspected by a single security guard. The security guard can inspect vehicles at an exponential rate of 50 per hour. a. Find the probability that an incoming vehicle must wait in a security line. b. What is the average number of vehicles at the checkpoint? c. What is the average amount of time spent at the checkpoint?
