(a) What is the probability that there is exactly one car and exactly one bus during a cycle?
0.05
(b) What is the probability that there is at most one car and at most one bus during a cycle?
0.12
(c) What is the probability that there is exactly one car during a cycle? Exactly one bus?
P(exactly one car) = 0.10
P(exactly one bus) = 0.50
(d) Suppose the left-turn lane is to have a capacity of five cars and one bus is equivalent to three cars. What is the probability of an overflow during a cycle?
