A post office has a counter for customers' drive-through to get the services. The design of the drive-through lane allows for unlimited queue length. The arrival and service rate are Poisson distributed with A= 20 customers per hour arriving on average and u =25 customers per hour can be served on average. a) Compute the average number of arrivals. b) Compute the average time a customer waits. c) Compute the average number of arrivals in the system. d) Compute the average time a customer is in the system. e) Compute the probability that less than or equal to 3 customers are in the system. f) If the single counter for the customer drive-through has been replaced with the automatic operation, service rates are constant with A= 20 and u =25. Compute (a). (b), (c) and (d).

In a queueing system, customers arrive once every 3 hours (standard devlation = 4) and services take 2 hours (standard deviation = 6.2). (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to three decimal places.) What is the average number of customers in the system? customers

Pasquist Water Company (PWC) operates a 24-hour facil-ity designed to efficiently fill water-hauling tanker trucks.Trucks arrive randomly to the facility and wait in line to ac-cess a wellhead pump. Since trucks vary in size and the filling operation is manually performed by the truck driver, the timeto fill a truck is also random.a. If the manager of PWC uses the multiple-server modelto calculate the operating characteristics of the facility’swaiting line, list three assumptions she must make regard-ing the behavior of waiting trucks and the truck arrivalprocess.b. Suppose an average of 336 trucks arrive each day, thereare four wellhead pumps, and each pump can serve anaverage of four trucks per hour.▪ What is the probability that exactly 10 trucks will arrivebetween 1:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. on any given day?▪ How likely is it that once a truck is in position at a well-head, the filling time will be less than 15 minutes?c. Contrast and comment on the performance differencesbetween:▪…

Josh’s Hot Dogs is a one-person hot dog stand, and normally gets about 14 customers per hour. Assuming that Josh can serve one customer in about 3 minutes. What impact does this have on the queuing characteristics? Specifically, the following questions:a. Mean number of customer in the queue b. Mean number of customer in the system: c. Mean waiting time in the queue:d. Mean waiting time in the system:e. Utilization factor for the system:f. Probability of more than 1 customer in the system at any given time.g. Do you think he has an acceptable queuing system?

Assume trucks arriving for loading/unloading at a truck dock from a single server waiting line. The mean arrival rate is three trucks per hour, and the mean service rate is five trucks per hour. Use the Single Server Queue Excel template to answer the following questions. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to three decimal places. What is the probability that the truck dock will be idle?   What is the average number of trucks in the queue?   truck(s) What is the average number of trucks in the system?   truck(s) What is the average time a truck spends in the queue waiting for service?   hour(s) What is the average time a truck spends in the system?   hour(s) What is the probability that an arriving truck will have to wait?   What is the probability that more than two trucks are waiting for service?

An ofi ce employs several clerks who create documents and one operator who entersthe document information in a computer system. The group creates documents at a rateof 25 per hour. The operator can enter the information with an average exponentiallydistributed time of two minutes. Assume the population is ini nite, arrivals are Poisson,and queue length is ini nite with FCFS discipline.a. Calculate the percentage utilization of the operator.b. Calculate the average number of documents in the system.c. Calculate the average time in the system.d. Calculate the probability of four or more documents being in the system.e. If another clerk were added, the document origination rate would increase to 30 perhour. What would the expected average number of documents in the system become?Show why.

1. The DMV Licensing office has a single line for customers waiting for the next available clerk. There are two clerks who work at the same rate. On average customers arrive every 8 minutes and the average service rate is 5 per hour for each of the two clerks. The arrival rate of customers follows a Poisson distribution, while the service time follows an exponential distribution. a.) What is the service rate? (please include units) b.) What is the arrival rate? (please include units)

Last National Bank is concerned about the level of service at its single drive-in window. A study of customer arrivals during the window’s busy period revealed that, on average, 20 customers per hour arrive, with a Poisson distribution, and they are given FCFS service, requiring an average of 2 minutes, with service times having a negative exponential distribution. a. What is the expected number of customers waiting in queue? b. If Last National were using an automated teller machine with a constant service time of 2 minutes, what would be the expected number of drive-in customers in the system? c. There is space in the drive for three cars (including the one being served). What is the probability of traffic on the street being blocked by cars waiting to turn into the bank driveway? d. Last National is considering adding tellers at the current drive-in facility. It has decided on $5 per hour as the imputed cost of customer waiting time in the system. The hourly cost of a teller is $10.…

Repair calls are handled by one repairman at a photocopy shop. Repair time, including travel time, is exponentially distributed, with a mean oftwo hours per call. Requests for copier repairs come in at a mean rate of three per eight-hour day(assume Poisson). Determine the following: ( l) The average number of customers awaiting repairs (2) System utilization (3) The amount of time during an eight-hour day that the repairman is not out on a call (4) The probability of two or more customers in the system
