Consider the M/M/1 queueing system with arrival rate λ > 0 and service rate μ > 0.

(a) Compute the expected number of arrivals during a service time (also called service period). 

(b) Compute the probability that no customers arrive during a service period. 

You may use the trick of computing expectation/probability by conditioning, i.e., “unconditional expectation (or probability) is equal to the expectation of conditional expectation (or probability)”.
