Problem 1 A gas station with only one gas pump employs the following policy: if a customer has to wait‚ the price is $3.50 per gallon; if they don’t have to wait‚ the price is $4.00 per gallon. Customers arrive according to a Poisson process with a mean rate of 20 per hour. Service times at the pump have an exponential distribution with a mean of 2 minutes. Arriving customers always wait until they can by gasoline. Determine the expected price of gasoline per gallon. Problem 3 The Old Colony theme
