A service center on an interstate highway experiences customers in a one-hour period as follows:
- Northbound: Total vehicles: Poisson (200). Twenty percent are trucks.
- Southbound: Total vehicles: Poisson (180). Twenty five percent are trucks.
- Each truck has one or two persons, with respective probabilities 0.7 and 0.3.
- Each car has 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 persons, with probabilities 0.3, 0.3, 0.2, 0.1, 0.1, respectively
Under the usual independence assumptions, let D be the number of persons to be served. Determine , , and the generating function .
