The service time for a passport application in a certain government office is modelled as an exponentialrandom variable with parameter λ = 5 per hour, independent and identically distributed for all applicants.Determine the probability that 50 applicants is accommodated within eight hours.Determine the maximum number of applicants such that the chance of accommodating all of them withineight hours is at least 95%.

A large ski mountain has a fleet of 4 snowmobiles it uses during the winter season. It believes that the time between consecutive repair operations for a single snowmobile is an exponential random variable with a mean of .75 weeks. There are two dedicated technicians that are capable of repairing the snowmobiles. A broken down snowmobile will be repaired by one of these technicians (when one becomes available) and the repair time of a snowmobile can be modeled as an exponential random variable with a mean of .4 weeks. (a) Describe a queueing system model of the repair operations of the snowmobiles by answering the following questions: What are the customers in the queueing system? What are the servers and what service is being provided? b) Provide the rate transition diagram of the birth and death process that captures the queueing system. Be sure to provide λn and µn for each relevant value of n and your logic behind any calculations used to obtain them (c) Provide the…
Data from 14 cities were combined for a 20-year period, and the total 280 city-years included a total of 107 homicides. After finding the mean number of homicides per city-year, find the probability that a randomly selected city-year has the following numbers of homicides, then compare the actual results to those expected by using the Poisson probabilities:
