At a certain filling station, customers arrive in a Poisson process with an average time of 12 per hour. The time interval between service follows exponential distribution and as such the mean time taken to service to a unit is 2 minutes. Evaluate:
i) Probability that there is no customer at the counter.
ii) Probability that there are more than two customers at the counter.
iii) Average number of customers in a queue waiting for service.
iv) Expected waiting time of a customer in the system.
i) Probability that a customer wait for 0.11 minutes in a queue.
A service station has 5 mechanics each of whom can service a scooter in 2 hours on the average. The scooters are registered at a single counter and then sent for servicing to different mechanics. Scooters arrive at a service station at an average rate of 2 scooters per hour. Assuming that the scooter arrivals are Poisson and service times are exponentially distributed, determine:
i) Identify the model.
ii) The probability that the system shall be idle.
iii) The probability that there shall be 3 scooters in the service centre.
iv) The expected number of scooters waiting in a queue.
v) The expected number of scooters in the service centre.
vi) The average waiting time in a queue.
