Question
![A service company receives on average 4 service requests per day.
The requests are received randomly according to Poisson process.
The company has 2 service engineers and sends one engineer to attend each request.
1
An engineer needs an exponentially distributed service time with the mean of
day(s).
2
The company's policy is to have maximum of 2 requests waiting in the queue
If this number is reached, all incoming requests are rejected (sent to a competitor).
Answer the following questions based on the information provide above:
(a) Using the Kendall's notation, indicate what type of queueing system it is:
(b) Compute the system state probabilities (provide at least 3 decimals):
Po =
P1=
P2 =
P3 =
Pa =
(c) Compute the expected total number of customer requests (waiting and served) in the system.
ELL] =
(d) Compute the expected number of accepted requests.
Aaccepted =
(e) Compute the expected total processing time (waiting + being served) for the accepted requests.
E[Time] =](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/bcc3f950-06bd-4299-ba75-b537b20a249b/f801149e-3b9f-4d10-8e4a-578c252d7dde/x4pyvne_thumbnail.jpeg)
