Question 4: Queuing Model
1. Cars arrive at a small gas station to refuel according to a Poisson process with rate 30 per hour and have an exponential service time distribution with mean 4 minutes. Since there are four gas pumps available, four cars can refuel simultaneously, but unfortunately there is no room for cars to wait. Hence, if a car arrives when all pumps are busy, the driver leaves immediately. For each customer that is served, an average profit is made of 7 euros.
a) Determinetheprobabilitythatanarrivingcarisnotrefueled.(15Marks) b) What is the long-run expected profit per day (consisting of eight hours)?
(5 Marks)
2. Someday, one manager has the opportunity to buy an adjacent parking lot, so there is room to wait for all cars that arrive when the four pumps are busy. Suppose all drivers decide to wait instead of leaving when this happens. Another manager wants to buy two new gas pumps to increase the serving rate. Supposedly buying the car park space is the same as buying the two gas pumps. Which suggestions do you thinking is better?
