4. Consider a system with the following specifications: Calls per hour 8; Average Holding time per Call 1.5 minutes; Number of users 3; Number of trunked Channels = 5. Determine: i) the total traffic offered in the system; ii) the blocking probability, iii) the delay probability; iv) the fraction of all calls that will be delayed for more than 1min minute; v) the average delay of all calls. What do you observe?

Two methods are used to predict how many customers will call in for help in the next four days. The first method predicts the numbers of callers to be 49, 42, 46, and 50 for the four respective days. The second method predicts 48, 43, 47, and 49 for the four respective days. The actual numbers of callers turn out to be 50, 40, 45, and 48. Which method has the smaller mean absolute error (MAE)? O Both methods have the same MAE The second method. The first method O Cannot be determined
Ashley’s department store in Kansas City maintains a successful catalog sales department in which four clerk takes orders by telephone. If four clerks are occupied on four-lines, incoming phone calls to the catalog department are answered automatically by a recording machine and asked to wait. As soon as the clerk is free, the party that has waited for the longest is transferred and answered first. Calls come in an average of 3 minutes. The clerk is capable of taking an order in an average of 10 minutes. Calls tend to follow a Poisson distribution, and service times tend to be exponential. a. λ= μ= b. Calculate P0 c. How many callers, on average, are waiting to place an order under the current operating system?
The University of Central Lancashire has decided to adopt a new human access control system for both employees and students using biometricfingerprint recognition. For students, the system automatically links to the central attendance management system and logs a student’s attendance,and lateness based on when they scan their fingerprint before entering the classroom. For faculty, it automatically records a staff member’s workstatus and commitment, including work status, overtime hours and holiday record. The system should interact with other local and enterprise levelapplications including scheduling and facilities management to develop the staff and student weekly schedule and also grant both faculty and studentsaccess to the specific rooms and facilities based on their schedule through fingerprint recognition software. Analysis using business support matrix. (create the table please)

Let's work together to reunite the cards with their owners North Africa is a country with a population of 100 million citizens and all residing within 20 provinces. It is the government's responsibility to make sure that every citizen of the country has a valid form of identity. The country was using a "Bar- Coded ID Book" as a form of citizen's identification. Two years ago they replaced "Bar-Coded ID Book" by "Smart ID Card". Citizens owning a Bar- Coded ID Book can apply for a Smart ID Card at no cost, new applicants are also issued ID cards at no cost. About 50% of the population holds "Smart ID Cards". Transiting from bar-coded ID book to "Smart ID Card" has been a successful project. However, there is a lot of reported cases everyday where citizens are losing their ID Cards. A Smart ID card is a small card (similar size to a bank card) with a chip that can store information about the citizen, however due to its size and flexibility compared to bar-coded book there is a high…

In an M/M/1 queueing system, the arrival rate is 5 customers per hour and the service rate is 7 customers per hour. If the service process is automated (resulting in no variation in service times but the same service rate), what will be the resulting performance measurements? What is the utilization? What is the expected number of customers in the system (L)? What is the expected waiting time (in hours) for the system (W)? What is the expected number of customers in the queue (Lq)? What is the expected waiting time (in hours) in the queue (Wq)?
