The program coordinator is out of town at a conference and you, as the assistant program coordinator, find yourself besieged by dozens of students needing permission to get into a very popular (but closed) class. Student arrivals are governed by the Poisson distribution with a mean of 5 minutes. Telling the students that they can't get into the closed class takes about 3 minutes, and this average is exponentially distributed. About how long does it take a student to wait in line and receive your valuable service?
A single server queuing system with a Poisson arrival rate and exponential service time has an average arrival rate of 9 customers per hour and an average service rate of 13 customers per hour. The probability of 6 customers in the system is : a. 0.9661 b. 0.8899 c. 0.3077 d. 0.03388
Consider two identical queuing systems except for the service time distribution. In the first system the service time is random and Poisson distributed. The service time is constant in the second system. How would the waiting time differ in the two systems?
A waiting-line system that meets the assumptions of M/M/S has λ = 5, μ = 4, and M = 2. For these values, Po is approximately 0.23077, and Ls is approximately 2.05128. What is the average time a unit spends in this system? Select one: a. approximately 0.8013 b. approximately 0.4103 c. Cannot be calculated because λ is larger than μ. d. approximately 0.2083 e. approximately 0.1603
The Bijou Theater shows vintage movies. Customers arrive at the theater line at the rate of 100 per hour. The ticket seller averages 30 seconds per customer, which includes placing validation stamps on customers’ parking lot receipts and punching their frequent watcher cards. (Because of these added services, many customers don’t get in until after the feature has started.) (Use the Excel spreadsheet Queue Models.) What is the average customer time in the system? What would be the effect on customer time in the system of having a second ticket taker doing nothing but validations and card punching, thereby cutting the average service time to 20 seconds? Note: Round your answer to 3 decimal places. What would be the customer time in the system if instead of the change in part (b), a second window was opened with each server doing all three tasks? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 3 decimal places. Would system waiting time which is obtained…
Let a queuing system have the Kendall model (M/M/1) : (GD/infinity/infinity). Assume A < µ. Does W, for the service discipline FIFO equal W, for the service discipline SIRO? O I have no idea. no yes It cannot be determined.
Customer interarrival times at a store are exponentially distributed with rate 8 customers per hour. Customers are served by a single customer service representative (CSR), at a rate of 10 customers per hour. Service times are also exponentially distributed. Which of the following statements are true? O The probability of having exactly three customers in the store is 0.128. O None of the answers are correct. The store has customers waiting for a CSR 80.0% of the time. The average number of customers in the store is 3.2. O The average wait time for the CSR is 24 minutes.
On average, a patient spends 5 minutes waiting and 15 minutes being treated at PSH Clinic. Given the average number of patients waiting and being treated at the clinic is 50, what is the average number of patients coming through the clinic per minute on a typical day?
The time from when a patient is discharged from North Shore Hospital to the time the discharged patient’s bed is ready to be assigned to a new patient is referred to as the bed assignment turnaround time. If the bed turnaround time is excessive, it can cause problems with patient flow and delay medical procedures throughout the hospital. This can cause long waiting times for physicians and patients thus creating customer dissatisfaction. The admissions RN has assigned a patient care associate to measure the bed turnaround time for a randomly selected bed each morning., afternoon, and evening for 30 days. Following are the bed turnaround time sample observations: Day Day Bed Turnaround Times (min) 1 1 127 135 167 144 151 2 2 140 155 122 135 119 3 3 112 128 97 118 131 4 4 223 135 154 187 150 5 5 181 155 160 172 166 6 6 103 158 145 124 149 7 7 146 135 167 150 178 8 8 104 122 115 137 129 9 9 136 158 137 148 156 10 10 145 163 106 139 170 11 11 84 146 125 98…
