    Students arrive at a night canteen one every three minutes following a Poisson distribution. They spend an average of 2 minutes at the counter picking food, with service times following an exponential distribution. The questions ask about: (1) the probability of 3 or fewer students in the system, (2) the average number in the queue, (3) the average number in the system, (4) the average waiting time, and (5) the average time a student spends in the system.

    Solved example – 4

    Students arrive at the Night Canteen at the rate of one every three minutes. The time required
    to pick tea and snack from the counter varies randomly due to various factors such as serving
    size, level of inspection (Yes, some people don’t pick food until they scrutinize it using their
    microscopic vision!) etc. It has been found that on average a student spends 2 minutes on the
    counter (excluding the waiting time). The arrivals follow Poisson distribution and time spent
    on counter (service time) follows exponential distribution.

    (a) What is the probability that there are at most three students in the system?

    (b) On average, how many students are in the queue?

    (c) On average, how many students are in the system?

    (d) How much is the average waiting time in the queue?

    (e) On average, how many minutes are spent by a student in the system?
