For the two problems, consider exponential

For the two problems, consider exponential distribution based assumptions for truck arrivals and dumping times. Assume also that you have infinite number of truck arrivals (there are always trucks arriving to the crusher). PROBLEM 2 Trucks arrive to a crusher. On average it takes 4 minutes to unload a truck. It is considered as acceptable an average waiting time (Wq) in the crusher's queue of 5 minutes. 2.1. Estimate the required arrival rate of trucks (a measured in trucks/hour) to fully utilize the crusher when it has only one unloading bay. 2.2. Estimate the required arrival rate (a measured in trucks/hour) of trucks to fully utilize the crusher when it has two unloading bays in parallel
