Consider a bus station where customers arrive in pp(λ) fashion. busses arrive empty one after another in pp(µ) fashion. each bus has capacity to carry a maximum of k customers. when a bus arrives at the station, if there are x customers waiting then the bus departs instantaneously with min(x, k) passengers. let x(t) be the number of customers waiting at the station at time t. model {x(t), t ≥ 0} as a ctmc.

Because air contracts as it cools, the air pressure inside a freezer is typically lower than on the outside. why do ice cubes inside a freezer tend to shrink over time? a. the ice dissolves oxygen from the air, forming a denser crystalline matrix.b. the ice reacts chemically with carbon dioxide in the air, forming gaseous carbon compounds.c. the ice melts, and then the liquid freezes as ice crystals on the bottom of the freezer.d. the ice sublimes, and then the water vapor deposits as ice crystals on the sides of the freezer.
