Suppose that on average we observe 50 people at the beach and a rate of arrivals of oneperson every 3 minutes. How long, on average, do people spend at the beach?
A university is considering setting up an information desk manned by one employee. Based on information obtained from similar information desks, it is believed that people will arrive at the desk at the rate of 18 per hour.   It takes an average of 2 minutes to answer a question.   It is assumed that arrivals are Poisson and answer times are exponentially distributed. 3. Find the proportion of the time that the employee is busy. 4. Find the average number of people receiving and waiting to receive information. 5. Find the average number of people waiting in line to get information.
The following data has been collected on the number of customers seen to arriveto a museum in a succession of 5-minute intervals: 5, 1, 3, 7, 5, 5, 6, 7, 5, 7, 4, 8, 1,5, 2, 3, and 5. Estimate the squared coefficient of variation of the arrival process. Ifthis data was known to come from a Poisson process, what would be your estimateof l, the rate of customer arrivals?
