1. Consider an in?nite server queuing system in which customers arrive in accordance with a Poisson process with rate λ, and where the service distribution is exponential with rate μ. Let X(t) denote the number of customers in the system at time t. Find

(a) E[X(t + s)|X(s) = n];

(b) Var[X(t + s)|X(s) = n].

2. Suppose that people arrive at a bus stop in accordance with a Poisson process with rate λ. The bus departs at time t. Let X denote the total amount of waiting time of all those who get on the bus at time t. We want to determine Var(X). Let N(t) denote the number of arrivals by time t.

(a) What is E[X|N(t)]?

(b) Argue that Var[X|N(t)]= N(t)t2/12.

Independent of the arrival process : The service times of the arrivals are independent exponential random variables with rate μ, and are independent of the arrival process. Customers depart the system when their service ends. Let N be the number of arrivals before the ?rst departure.

Depend on the number : The policy of searching for a ?xed time is a static policy. Would a dynamic policy, which allows the decision as to whether to stop at each time t, depend on the number already found by t be bene?cial?

Distribution of the time : What is the distribution of the time at which the last rider departs the car? Suppose the last rider departs the car at time t. What is the probability that all the other riders are home at that time?

Distributed according to a poisson process : Policyholders of a certain insurance company have accidents at times distributed according to a Poisson process with rate λ. The amount of time from when the accident occurs until a claim is made has distribution G.

Number of customers in the system : 1. Consider an in?nite server queuing system in which customers arrive in accordance with a Poisson process with rate λ, and where the service distribution is exponential with rate μ. Let X(t) denote the number of customers in the system at time t..

Problem regarding the independent increments : (a) Find P{N(t) = n}. (b) Is {N(t)} a Poisson process? (c) Does {N(t)} have stationary increments? Why or why not? (d) Does it have independent increments? Why or why not?
