Chapter 6, Problem 26P
The arrival times of vehicles at the ticket gate of a sports stadium may be assumed to bePoisson with a mean of 30 mi/h. It takes an average of 1.5 min for the necessary tickets to be bought for occupants of each car.
(a) What is the expected length of queue at the ticket gate, not including the vehicle being served?
(b) What is the probability that there are no more than 5 cars at the gate, including the vehicle being served?
(c) What will be the average waiting time of a vehicle?
