A convenience store has four available parking spaces. The owner predicts that the duration of customer shopping (the time the customer's vehicle will occupy a parking space) is exponentially distributed with a mean of 6 minutes. The owner knows that in the busiest hour customer arrivals are exponentially distributed with a mean arrival rate of 30 customers per hour. What is the probability that a customer will not have an open parking space available when arriving at the store? Round off answer in four decimal places.

Consider the following plot of cumulative arriving and departing vehicles at a freeway bottleneck location: Vehicles 20,000 15,000 10,000 5,000 0 0 30 60 90 120 150 180 210 240 270 300 330 360 Time (mins) Arrivals (vehs) Departures (vehs) From this plot, determine the following: A. What is the capacity of the bottleneck location? 9000 whole number, i.e. X000.) B. What is the maximum size of the queue that develops? 3250 whole number, i.e. X000.) C. What is the longest wait time that any vehicle experiences during the breakdown? to the nearest whole number, i.e. XX.)

A researcher was observing traffic along one lane of a rural highway. During a 1 minute time interval, ten vehicles were observed travelling 65, 64, 71, 66, 58, 72, 69, 66, 55 and 62 mph. Using these spot speeds, calculate the time mean speed (mph). Provide your answer to the nearest tenth of a mph.
. A traffic enforcer counts the number of vehicles at a specific location in the highway. In hiscounting, there are 420 vehicles arrived in span of 1 hour. Assuming that the arrival of vehicles isPoisson distributed, estimate the probabilities of having 7 or more vehicles arriving over a 30-secondtime interval
Question 5 A shopping centre has two types of checkouts, traditional checkouts which are staffed by cashiers, and which are usually preferred by older customers, and self- serve checkouts which are preferred by younger customers. One day, it was recorded that an average of 20 older people an hour left the staffed checkouts and approximately 1 young person every two minutes began queuing for the self- checkout machines. If both checkout methods have an average wait time of 5 minutes per person, what is the arrival rate for the traditional checkouts and the departure rate for the self-checkouts? O A 20 people/hr; µ = 19 people/hr A 19 people/hr; μ = 20 people/hr λ = 13 people/hr; μ = 39 people/hr λ = 39 people/hr; μ 13 people/hr

Vehicles arriving at an intersection from one of the approach roads follow the Poisson distribution. The mean rate of arrival is 900 vehicles per hour. If a gap is defined as the time difference between two successive vehicle arrivals (with vehicles assumed to be points), the probability (up to four decimal places) that the gap is greater than 8 seconds is
