The arrival of buses from the campus to student housing in the late afternoon is modeled by a Poisson process with an interarrival time of 30 minutes. Consider the situation where a bus has just arrived at 4.29 PM. (a) A student arrives at 4.30 PM and misses the bus. Find the expected value of time that the student will have to wait for the next bus to student housing? (b) At 4.52 PM the next bus has not yet arrived, and another student comes to the bus stop. Find the expected value of time that these two students will have to wait for the next bus?

Occurrences of landfalling hurricanes during an El Niño event are modeled asa Poisson process in Bove et al. (1998). The authors assert that “During an ElNiño year, the probability of two or more hurricanes making landfall in theUnited States is 28%.” Find the rate of the Poisson process.

The arrival of customers to a small local food restaurant may be modeled by a Poisson process with rate of 1 per 15 min period. Assume customer will only arrive if there is at least one customer present. Each customer on average stays for a time exponentially distributed with mean 20 minutes. This is modeled as a birth-death process. (i) Compute the probability that the capacity of 20 will be reached if we start with 5 customers.
