Interpretation: Concept of Poisson process has been discussed

Concept Introduction: Suppose there is a bank of ABC located in cant city of XYZ city. Open timings of bank is 9 am to 5 am. Bank manager observed that 10 person arrived in the bank in two hours whereas 5 person were arrived in one hour.

Customers arrive at a one window drive according to a poison distribution with mean of 10 minutes and service time per customer is exponential with mean of 6 minutes. The space in front of the window can accommodate only three vehicles including the serviced ones. Other vehicles are have to wait outside this space. Calculate:a. A. probability that an arriving customer can drive directly to the space in front of the windowb. Probability that an arriving customer will have to wait outside the directed space c. How long an arriving customer is expected to wait before getting the service?
In an M/MA queueing system, the arrival rate is 9 customers per hour and the service rate is 12 customers per hour. (Round your answers to 3 decimal places.) a. What is the probability that the server will be idle? Probability b. What is the probability of having exactly 4 customers in the system? Probability c. What is the probability of having 3 or fewer customers in the system? Prubabty d. What is the expected number of customers in the queue(La)? (Round your answer to 3 decimal pleces.) Expected number of customers e. What is the expected waiting time in the queue(Ng)? (Express the waiting time in hours, round your answer to 3 decimal pleces) Expected wasting time
