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 “other”; if the parameters cannot be determined indicate so.

(a) The time elapsed before the next vehicle arrives.

(b) The number of arrivals between 8:00 AM and 10:00 AM.

(c) The number of vehicles in the loading dock.

(d) Of the next 10 deliveries to arrive, the number than have to wait for the dock to clear.

(e) The number of vehicles in the waiting area.

(f) The number of deliveries made up to and including the ﬁrst that has to wait for the dock to clear.

(g) The arrival time of the third delivery on a given day

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,...

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...

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...

The police arrive at the crime scene at 9:00 AM. They immediately measure that the body temperature of the deceased is 83 F. After they finish gathering evidence, a process which took exactly one hour, they measure the body again and the temperature is 81,F. The room temperature is 68 F. When was the murder committed? (Assume his body temperature normally was 98, as opposed to 98.6.)

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.). Assuming D/D/1 queuing, what is the maximum queue length, and what would the total delay be from 8:00 A.M....

The probability density function of the time you arrive at a terminal (in minutes after 8:00 a.m.) is f(x)=(e^(-x/10))/10 for 0 < x. Determine the following probabilities. C. You arrive before 8:10 A.M. on two or more days of five days. Assume that your arrival times on different days are independent.

Vehicles arrive at a signalized intersection at a uniform rate of 900 veh/hr. The saturation flow rate for the intersection is 1200 veh/hr. However, a crash has reduced the saturation flow rate to only 300 veh/hr for a one-hour period. Assuming D/D/1 queuing, determine: a. How long will it take for the resulting queue to clear? (6 points) b. How much delay is experienced as compared to if the saturation flow rate had NOT been reduced? (6 points) c. What...

A commuter is accustomed to leaving his house between 7:30 and 8:00 AM, the drive to the station taking between 20 and 30 minutes. It is assumed that the departure time and length of trip are independent random variables, uniformly distributed over their respective intervals. There are two trains which he can take: the first leaves precisely at 8:05 AM and takes exactly 35 minutes for the trip, and the second leaves at 8:25 AM and takes 30 minutes. (a)...
