Hello, I am struggling to understand how we get the transition rates as obtained in the solutions manual: from 0 to 1 = 3B ,empty spaces and from 1 to 2 =2B I would have expected those transition rates to be just B. Please assist.
State 0 means the car park is full, ie there are 3 cars, each with a force of leaving of B. The total force from state 0 to state 1 is the total force of leaving for all 3 cars combined, ie 3B. Likewise, if there are 2 parked cars each with a force of leaving of B, then the force from state 1 (2 parked cars) to state 2 (1 parked car) is 2B.
