    One of The Difficulties About Probability Is Realizing When Two Different Looking Problems Are

    Uploaded by

    Doreen
    The document discusses two probability problems that appear different but are the same: dealing cocaine and fighting fires. It describes a problem where calls arrive at a fire station according to a Poisson process and the time to respond varies, and if a new call arrives before the department is ready, another department handles it. It provides the details of Problem 2.19, where the document finds the probability distribution of the number of calls one department will handle before needing help from another.

    One of the difficulties about probability is realizing when two different looking problems are the
    same, in this case dealing cocaine and fighting fires. In Problem 2.19, calls to a fire station
    arrive according to a Poisson process with rate 0.5 per hour, and the time required to respond
    to a call, return to the station, and get ready to respond to the next call is uniformly distributed
    between 1/2 and 1 hour. If a new call comes before the Dryden fire department is ready to
    respond, the Ithaca fire department is asked to respond. What fraction of calls must be handled
    by the Ithaca fire department

    Problem 2.19

    Calls to the Dryden fire department arrive according to a Poisson process with rate 0.5 per hour.
    Suppose that the time required to respond to a call, return to the station, and get ready to
    respond to the next call is uniformly distributed between 1/2 and 1 hour. If a new call comes
    before the Dryden fire department is ready to respond, the Ithaca fire department is asked to
    respond. Suppose that the Dryden fire department is ready to respond now. Find the probability
    distribution for the number of calls they will handle before they have to ask for help from the
    Ithaca fire department.
