Compute the expected value of the total waiting time

Reference no: EM13985429

Suppose that we are at time zero. Passengers arrive at a train station according to a Poisson process with intensity λ. Compute the expected value of the total waiting time of all passengers who have come to the station in order to catch a train that leaves at time t.

Computing the mean and the variance : Show that the new process is not a Poisson process, e.g., by computing its generating function, or by computing the mean and the variance (which are equal for the Poisson distribution). Find (nevertheless) the probability that the first occurrence..

Compute the generating function of the number : The number of jobs brought to the center by the customers are independent random variables whose common generating function is g(u). Compute the generating function of the number of jobs brought to the computer center during the time interval (s, ..

Compute the expected value of the total amplitude : We finally assume that the initial amplitudes of the pulses are independent of the Poisson process. Compute the expected value of the total amplitude at time t.

Explain why such a small figure is plausible : Studies have concluded that the dead weight loss of monopoly power in the United States is less than 0.5 percent of GNP. From your knowledge of the determinants of the dead-weight loss, explain why such a small figure is plausible.

Compute the expected value of the total waiting time : Compute the expected value of the total waiting time of all passengers who have come to the station in order to catch a train that leaves at time t.

What two quantities are conserved throughout the motion : Draw a diagram showing the direction of the incoming puck, the orientation of the string, and the direction of motion of the puck on the string after the elastic collision.

Find the distribution : Find the distribution of Tn, and compute E Tn and Var Tn. Remark. Customers arriving (and leaving) while the ATM is busy thus do not affect the service time.

Probability of a successful photo : The experiment is deemed successful if T ≥ 1 and if no D-event occurs during the time interval (0, T + 2]. What is the probability of a successful photo?

Determine the acceleration of the bullet : A bullet is moving at a speed of 367 m/s when it embeds into a lump of moist clay. The bullet penetrates for a distance of 0.0621 m before it comes to stop. Determine the acceleration of the bullet while moving into the clay. (Assume a uniform accele..
