Vehicles arrive at an entrance to a recreational park. There is a
single gate (at which all vehicles must stop), where a park
attendant distributes a free brochure. The park opens at 8:00
A.M., the average arrival rate be 240 veh/h and Poisson
distributed (exponential times between arrivals) over the entire
period from park opening time (8:00 A.M.) until closing at dusk.
If the time required to distribute the brochure is 10 seconds, the
distribution time varies depending on whether park patrons
have questions relating to park operating policies, assuming
M/M/1 queuing.
a.) Compute the average length of queue (express in veh),
b.) Average waiting time in the queue (express in min/veh),
c.) and average time spent in the system(express in min/veh)
