There are several information's that are already given in the question. Based on those given information's, the answer can be easily deduced.

w = 0.92

Then

w (x) = x^2/2 (1-x)

w (0.92) = (0.92) ^2/2 (1 - 0.92)

= 0.8464/0.16

= 5.29

From the above deduction, it can be concluded that the average number of vehicles waiting is 5.29.
