Can someone help me out with this maths question... I'm finding very hard!
A weighbridge is used to check that heavy vehicles using the highways do not exceed the maximum load per axle specified in their registration. Drivers must turn into a short loop at the roadside where the procedure takes 10 minitues. The equipment can handle 2 vehicles at one time (if necessary) at Bay A and Bay B, but it is easier to have both staff working on one vehicle at Bay A whenecer possible. In any 10 minute period, the probabilities that 0, 1 or 2 trucks will arrive at the weighbridge are equal. If the queue of trucks waiting (including the one being weighed) is longer than 3, the last vehicle will be unable to enter the side road and so will block the traffic flow.
Note that bay B is to used as little as possible, and is closed as soon as it is no longer required.
Prepare an explaination that shows all relevant details of what will occur at the weighbridge in a simulation over a 2 hour period.
Thanks for the help everyone!!!
