3. (a) During lunch hour, arrivals of customers at a pizza hut restaurant follows a Poisson
process with the rate of 120 customers per hour. The restaurant has one line, with three
workers taking food orders at independent services stations. Each worker takes an exponen-
tially distributed amount of time-on average 1 minute-to serve a customer. Let X, denote
the number of customers in the restaurant (in line and being serviced) at time t. Then, the
process (Xt20) is a continuous-time Markov chain.
(i) Show that the process is a birth-and-death process by giving the birth and death
rates.
[4 marks]
(ii) Find the generator matrix of the above process.
[5 marks]
(iii) For each integer k ≥0, derive the long-term probability that there are k customers
in the restaurant.
[8 marks]
(iv) Calculate the long-term probability that all three workers are busy.
[6 marks]
(v) Find the average number of customers in the restaurant in the long term.
[7 marks]
(b) A student support center has 3 tutors who help students with their home work. Students
arrive at the center according to a Poisson process at rate A = 3 per hour. Each tutor's
service time is exponentially distributed with average of 1/10 hours. Tutors' service times
and student arrival times are independent. If all the tutors are busy when a student arrives
at the center, the student will leave. Let X, denote the number of tutors who are busy at
time t. Determine its generator matrix and stationary distribution.
