The arrival rate of telephone calls at a telephone booth is according to Poisson
distribution, with an average time of 9 minutes between two consecutive arrivals. The
length of a telephone call is assumed to be exponentially distributed, with a mean of 3
minutes.
a) Determine the probability that a person arriving at the booth will have to wait.
b) Find the average queue length that is formed from time to time.
©) The telephone company will install a second booth when convinced that arrival
would expect to wait af least four minutes for the phone. Fins the increase in flow
rate of arrivals which will justify a second booth.
4) What probability will an arrival have to wait for more than 10 minutes before the
phone is free?
©) What is the probability that he will have to wait for more than 10 minutes before the
phone is available and the call is also complete?
) Find the fraction of a day that the phone will be in use.
