Billy's Bank is the only bank in a small town in
Arkansas. On a typical Friday, an average of 10
customers per hour arrives at the bank to transact
business. There is one single teller at the bank, and
the average time required to transact business is
4 minutes. It is assumed that service times can be
described by the exponential distribution. Although
this is the only bank in town, some people in the
town have begun using the bank in a neighboring
town about 20 miles away. If a single teller at Billy's
is used, find
(a) the average time in the line.
(b) the average number in the line.
(c) the average time in the system.
(d) the average number in the system.
(e) the probability that the bank is empty.

- Two geysers that are near to each other are labelled as Geyser A and Geyser B. The time between eruptions for a given geyser follows an exponential distribution. The eruption times of the two geysers are independent of one another. The mean amount of time between eruptions of Geyser A is 39 minutes, and the mean amount of time between eruptions of Geyser B is 66 minutes. Given that exactly one of the geysers erupts within the next 49 minutes, determine the probability that it will be Geyser A.

Determine the variance of the amount paid by the insurance company for one claim, including the possibility that the amount paid is zero.arrow_forwardNeve Commercial Bank is the only bank in the town of York, Pennsylvania. On a typical Friday, an average of 10 customers per hour arrive at the bank to transact business. There is currently one teller at the bank, and the average time required to transact business is 4 minutes. It is assumed that service times may be described by the negative exponential distribution. If a single teller is used, find: The average number in the line. The average time in the system. The average number in the system. The probability that the bank is empty. CEO Benjamin Neve is considering adding a second teller (who would work at the same rate as the first) to reduce the waiting time for customers. A single line would be used, and the customer at the front of the line would go to the first available bank teller. He assumes that this will cut the waiting time in half. If a second teller is added, find the new answers to parts (a) to (e).arrow_forwardProblem #2: Death for (x) is distributed such that the probability that an individual dies in the next 3 months is always the same regardless of their age.
