Traffic enters a tunnel which is 9600 metres long, and in which overtaking is impossible. The number of vehicles which enter in any given time is governed by the Poisson distribution with mean 6 cars per minute. All vehicles travel at a constant speed until forced to slow down on catching up with a slower vehicle ahead. I enter the tunnel travelling at 30 m\(\,\)s\(^{-1}\) and all the other traffic is travelling at 32 m\(\,\)s\(^{-1}\). What is the expected number of vehicles in the queue behind me when I leave the tunnel? Assuming again that I travel at 30 m\(\,\)s\(^{-1}\), but that all the other vehicles are independently equally likely to be travelling at 30 m\(\,\)s\(^{-1}\) or 32 m\(\,\)s\(^{-1}\), find the probability that exactly two vehicles enter the tunnel within 20 seconds of my doing so and catch me up before I leave it. Find also the probability that there are exactly two vehicles queuing behind me when I leave the tunnel. \noindent [Ignore the lengths of the vehicles.]
