A bus travels between two cities A and B that are 100 miles apart.Two service stations are located at mile 30 and mile 70, as well as in the cities themselves. The bus breaks down on the road. Assuming the place of breakdown is uniformly distributed between the cities, what is the probability that it is no more than 10 miles to the nearest service station? What is the expectation of the distance to the nearest service station?

78.  A commuter train travels between two downtown stations. Because the stations are only 1.00 km apart, the train never reaches its maximum possible cruising speed. During rush hour the engineer minimizes the time interval ?t1 between two stations by accelerating the rate a1 = 0.100 m/s2 for a time interval ?t1 and then immediately braking with acceleration a2 = ?0.500 m/s2 for a time interval ?t2. Find the minimum time interval ?tand the time interval ?t1.

A train travels between stations 1 and 2, as shown in the figure. The engineer of the train is instructed to start from rest at station 1 and accelerate uniformly between points A and B, then coast with a uniform velocity between points B and C, and finally decelerate uniformly between points C and D until the train stops at station 2. The distances AB, BC, and CD are all equal, and it takes 5.63 min to travel between the...

A car wash has two stations, 1 and 2. The service time at station 1 is exponentially distributed with parameter λ1, and the service time at station 2 is exponentially distributed with parameter λ2.When a car arrives at the car wash, it begins service at station 1, provided station 1 is free; otherwise, the car waits until station 1 is available. Upon completing service at station 1, the car then proceeds to station 2, provided station 2 is free; otherwise,...
