Average waiting time in the queue

Assignment Help Civil Engineering
Reference no: EM1383235

Vehicles arrive at a toll booth with a mean arrival rate of 2 veh/ min (the time between arrivals is exponentially distributed). The toll booth operator processes vehicles (collects tolls) at a uniform deterministic rate of one every 20 seconds. What is the average length of queue, the average time spent in the system, and the average waiting time in the queue?
