Vehicles arrive at a toll both starting at 7:00 A.M. at a rate of λ(t) = 5.1 – 0.05t [with λ(t) in veh/min and t in minutes after 7:00 A.M.]. The first operator processes cars at a rate of 3 veh/minute 7:00 A.M. until 7:15 A.M when the person leaves because of illness. From 7:15 A.M to 7:25 A.M, no one is at the toll booth but a new operator arrives at 7:25 A.M and processes at a rate of μ(t) = 8 + 0.3t [with μ(t) in veh/min and t in minutes after 7:25 A.M.]. Assuming D/D/1 queuing, what is the maximum queue length (in vehicles) and the average delay per vehicle?

5.19 At 8:00 A.M. there are 10 vehicles in a queue at a toll booth and vehicles are arriving at a rate of Ȝ(t) = 6.9 − 0.2t. Beginning at 8 A.M., vehicles are being serviced at a rate of ȝ(t) = 2.1 + 0.3t (Ȝ(t) and ȝ(t) are in vehicles per minute and t is in minutes after 8:00 A.M.).

3. Vehicles begin to arrive to a parking lot at 7:00 AM at a rate of 2000 veh/hour, but the demand reduces to 1000 veh/hour at 7:30 AM and continues at that rate. The ticketing booth to enter the parking lot can only serve the vehicles at 1000 veh/hour until 7:15 AM, after which the service rate increases to 2000 veh/hour. Assuming D/D/1 queuing, draw a queuing diagram for this situation. Find: a) the time at which the queue clears,...

At a facility’s loading dock, delivery vehicles arrive randomly, starting at 8:00 AM, at a rate of 2.0 per hour. If the dock is occupied by another vehicle, the driver must park in a waiting area until the dock is clear; this occurs with probability 0.20, independent of the time of day or other variables. Identify the family and parameter(s) of each of the following random variables (for instance, “Bernoulli(0.5)”). If it is not one of our “famous” families indicate...

An unidentified corpse was discovered on April 21 at 7:00 a.m. The pathologist discovered that there were 1.57×1017 atoms of 3215P remaining in the victim's bones and placed the time of death sometime on March 15. The half-life of 3215P is 14.28 days. How much 3215P was present in the bones at the time of death?   Please explain how the answer was recieved.

Between 4:00PM and 6:00PM the vehicles arrive to the entrance ramp of a regional toll road at a constant rate of 1740 vehicles per hour. The toll plaza at the entrance ramp has five toll booths, which combined can process up to 34 vehicles per minute. At 4:30PM one of the toll booths is disabled due to electronics malfunction, which reduces the vehicle processing capacity of the toll plaza to 27 vehicles per minute. At 5:00 PM the toll booth...

At the end of a sporting event, vehicles begin leaving a parking lot at λ(t) = 12 − 0.25t and vehicles are processed at μ(t) = 2.5 + 0.5t [t is in minutes and λ(t) and μ(t) are in vehicles per minute]. Assuming D/D/1 queuing, determine the total vehicle delay, longest queue, and the wait time of the 50th vehicle to arrive assuming first-in-first-out and D/D/1 queuing. Answer:  total delay=1016.15 veh-min, Delay 50th veh=5.64 min, Max Q=60.167 veh

Emails arrive in an inbox according to a Poisson process with rate λ (so the number of emails in a time interval of length t is distributed as Pois(λt), and the numbers of emails arriving in disjoint time intervals are independent). Let X, Y, Z be the numbers of emails that arrive from 9 am to noon, noon to 6 pm, and 6 pm to midnight (respectively) on a certain day. (a) Find the joint PMF of X, Y, Z....

Vehicles begin to arrive at a parking lot at 6:00am at a rate of 8 per minute. Due to an accident on the access highway, no vehicles arrive from 6:20 to 6:30am. From 6:30am on, vehicles arrive at the rate of two per minute. The parking lot attendant processes incoming vehicles (collects parking fees) at the rate of four per minute throughout the day. Assuming D/D/1 queuing, draw a queuing (arrival-departure) diagram to present the events described and determine total...

Customers arrive at a two-server system at a Poisson rate λ=5. An arrival finding the system empty is equally likely to enter service with either server. An arrival finding one customer in the system will enter service with the idle server. An arrival finding two others will wait in line for the first free server. The capacity of the system is 3. All service times are exponential with rate µ=3, and once a customer is served by either server, he...
