Question:

More on the airport van. Let’s continue the simulation of Exercise 19.19. You have a backup van, but it serves several stations. The probability that it is available to go to the airport at any one time is 0.6. You want to know the probability that some passengers with reservations will be left stranded because the first van is full and the backup van is not available. Draw a tree diagram with the first van (full or not) as the first stage and the backup

(available or not) as the second stage. In Exercise 19.19 you simulated a number of repetitions of the first stage. Add simulations of the second stage whenever the first van is full. What is your estimate of the probability of stranded passengers?
