Vehicles arrive at a single park-entrance booth where a brochure is distributed. At 8 A.M., there are 20 vehicles in the queue and vehicles continue to arrive at the deterministic rate of λ(t) = 4.2 − 0.1t, where λ(t) is in vehicles per minute and t is in minutes after 8:00 A.M. From 8 A.M. until 8:10 A.M., vehicles are served at a constant deterministic rate of three per minute. Starting at 8:10 A.M., another brochure-distributing person is added and the brochure-service rate increases to six per minute (still at a single booth).

Question

Vehicles arrive at a single park-entrance booth 
where a brochure is distributed. At 8 A.M., there are 
20 vehicles in the queue and vehicles continue to 
arrive at the deterministic rate of λ(t) = 4.2 − 0.1t, 
where λ(t) is in vehicles per minute and t is in 
minutes after 8:00 A.M. From 8 A.M. until 8:10 A.M., 
vehicles are served at a constant deterministic rate of 
three per minute. Starting at 8:10 A.M., another 
brochure-distributing person is added and the 
brochure-service rate increases to six per minute (still at a single booth). Assuming D/D/1 queuing, 
determine the longest queue, the total delay from 8 
A.M. until the queue dissipates; and the wait time of 
the 40th vehicle to arrive.
