newly planned boat agency will be located on the Amazon River. Suppose you have decided to build a dock facility where 2 boats could be serviced at a time for service and fuel. Assume that the arrivals follow a Poisson distribution, with an average of 5 boats per hour, and that the average service rate has an exponential distribution with a mean of 10 boats in each of the channels. a) What is the probability that the dock is empty? b) What is the average number of boats waiting for service? c) What is the average time a boat will spend waiting for service? d) What is the average time a boat will spend at the dock? e) If you were the administrator. Would you be satisfied with the level of service offered by the dock? why?

On average, there is one hurricane in the Bahamas every year. The cost torepair the damage of each hurricane in the Bahamas to a particular resort is 100. To stabilizefinances, the resort buys hurricane insurance, which will cover the cost of the repairs foreach hurricane after the second. Assume that the number of hurricanes in the Bahamas ina given year is Poisson distributed. 1. What is the expected cost of repairs in a given year to the resort (not including thecost of insurance)?2. What is the expected payout of the insurance company on the resort’s policy in agiven year?
