Question: 1 3 - 3 . The Lower Colorado River Authority ( LCRA ) has been studying congestion at the boat - launching ramp near Mansfield

13-3. The Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) has been studying congestion at the boat-launching
ramp near Mansfield Dam. On weekends, the arrival rate averages five boaters per hour, Poisson
distributed. The average time to launch or retrieve a boat is 10 minutes, with negative exponential
distribution. Assume that only one boat can be launched or retrieved at a time.
The LCRA plans to add another ramp when the average turnaround time (i.e., time in the system)
exceeds 90 minutes. At what average arrival rate per hour should the LCRA begin to consider adding
another ramp?
If there were room to park only two boats at the top of the ramp in preparation for launching, how
often would an arrival find insufficient parking space?
