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.

On a certain bus terminal, there are two terminals that can travels
to the south. The number of passengers going to
the south arriving in the terminal is 150 persons per minute, and
the number of people can ride the bus is 100 per minute. Both
arrival and departure rates can be assumed to be exponentially
distributed.

Vehicles arrive at a toll system at random at an
average rate of 12 vehicles per minute. If there are
2 toll booths each at random at an average of 6
seconds after services are done for every vehicle at
the toll system. Calculate the following:
1 Average length of queue of vehicles
2. Average waiting time in a queue
3. Average time spent in a queue
