expected number of calls over 30 minutes =30*3/10 =9
therefore P(there wil be at least 10 calls over 30
minute)=P(X>=10)=1-P(X<=9)=1-
=1-0.5874 =0.4126

Calls originate from Dryden according to a rate 12 Poisson process. 3/4 are local and 1/4 are long distance. Local calls last an average of 10 minutes, while long distance calls last an average of 5 minutes. Let M be the number of local calls and N the number of long distance calls in equilibrium. Find the distribution of (M,N). what is the number of people on the line.

An airline ticket office has two ticket agents answering incoming phone calls for flight reservations. In addition, one caller can be put on "hold" until one of the agents is available to take the call. If all three phone lines (both agent lines and the hold lines) are busy, a potential customer gets a busy signal, and it is assumed she calls another ticket office, so that her business is lost. The calls and attempted calls occur randomly i.e., according...

A car wash has one automatic car wash machine. Cars arrive according to a Poisson process at an average rate of 5 every 30 minutes. The car wash machine can serve customers according to a Poisson distribution with a mean of 0.25 cars per minute. What is the probability that there is no car waiting to be served?

Problem 1. Consider a telephone system with three lines. Calls arrive according to a Poisson process at a mean rate of 6 per hour. The duration of each call has an exponential distribution with a mean of 20 minutes. If all lines are busy, calls will be put on hold until a line becomes available. (a Determine the steady-state probability that a call will be answered immediately (not put on hold) (b) Determine the steady-state probability distribution of the number...
