Calls to an agency come according to a rate λ Poisson process. The agency has s telephone lines and the duration of each call is an exponential random variable with parameter µ. If a call comes when all lines are busy, it is not taken or put on hold. Find the stationary distribution of the number of busy lines.

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....

Suppose people get infected by Coronavirus according to a Poisson process with rate λ > 0 and λ denoting the average number of infected people per day. (a) (10 points) Find the expected time the 100th infected person will be identified. (b) (10 points) Find the probability that the elapsed time between infected persons 10th and 11th exceeds two days.

Cars get parked in a lot (with infinite capacity) according to a λ-rate Poisson process, and indepen- dently stay parked for a random duration. The parking time duration of a car follows a common distribution X, with cdf F(x) = P(X ≤ x). Let N(t) be the number of cars parked at time t. 1a. What is the distribution of N(t)? 1b. Assuming a car arrival rate of 1 per minute, and X (in min) ∼ Gamma(3, 1) (as defined...

Starting at time 0, a red bulb flashes according to a Poisson process with rate λ=1. Similarly, starting at time 0, a blue bulb flashes according to a Poisson process with rate λ=2, but only until a nonnegative random time X, at which point the blue bulb “dies." We assume that the two Poisson processes and the random variable X are (mutually) independent. a) Suppose that X is equal to either 1 or 2, with equal probability. Write down an...

Customers arrive at a two-server system according to a Poisson process having rate λ = 5. An arrival finding server 1 free will begin service with that server. An arrival finding server 1 busy and server 2 free will enter service with server 2. An arrival finding both servers busy goes away. Once a customer is served by either server, he departs the system. The service times at server i are exponential with rates μi, where μ1 = 4, μ2...

People arrive at a party according to a Poisson process of rate 30 per hour and remain for an independent exponential time of mean 2 hours. Let X(t) be the number of people at the party at time t (in hours) after it started. Compute E[X(t)] and determine how long it takes to have on average more than 40 people at the party.

Students enter the bathroom according to a Poisson process at a rate of 7.5 arrivals per minute. What is the probability that exactly 46 students enter between 3:00 and 3:05? Given that 6 students enter the bathroom between 4:00 and 4:01, what is the probability that exactly 36 students enter between 4:00 and 4:07? Each student entering the bathroom has a .15 probability of wearing a hoodie, independent of other students. What is the probability that exactly 10 students wearing...
