Erlang Distribution Parameters and Carwash Example
Explore the Erlang distribution with parameters k=2 and λ=3, and learn about a carwash example involving outside washing, inside cleaning, and waiting time analysis. Understand how to calculate average, variance, and probability of waiting times. Integration methods to solve related problems are discussed.

What is the average and variance of waiting time for a car which start to get its service? What is the probability that the waiting time for this car be between 30 and 45 minutes? We knew that when each part of total service point governs by exponential with mean 20 minutes or hours (parameter =3), the total service time will govern by an Erlang distribution with parameters k=2 and = 3 . Then 1 = 1 3
