Part a

"Q= \\frac{\\rho^2}{1- \\rho}\\\\\nQ= \\frac{(\\frac{20}{22})^2}{1- \\frac{20}{22}}\\\\\nQ=9.08 vehicles"


Part b

"t= (\\frac{1}{t_1}+\\frac{1}{t_2})*60\\\\\nt= (\\frac{1}{22}+\\frac{1}{20})*60\\\\\nt=5.73 sec"


Part c

"t= \\frac{2- \\rho}{2 \\mu (1- \\rho)}\\\\\nt= \\frac{2- \\frac{20}{22}}{2*22 (1-\\frac{20}{22})}\\\\\nt=0.27 min"
