Question
Chapter 7.5, Problem 26P
Summary Introduction
Interpretation: Pooling service process has been discussed.
Concept Introduction: Suppose there are three machine A, B, C which runs in production line to complete the product. All three machine are arranged in a series. Machine B starts only when machine A will complete the task otherwise machine B sit in idle time. So to reduce this idle time of machine, server and service pooling service process has been used.

- [Queuing Theory - Operation research] The take-out counter at an ice-cream parlor is serviced by one attendant. Customers arrive according to a Poisson process, at a mean arrival rate of 30 per hour. They are serviced on a FCFS basis, and because of the quality of the ice cream, they are willing to wait if necessary. The service time per customer appears to be exponentially distributed, with a mean of 1.5 minutes. Determine the following: (a) probability that the system is idle (b) average number of customers in the system (c) amount of time a customer should expect to wait before service (d) probability that a customer will have to spend more than 15 minutes in the queuearrow_forward5. Marty Schatz owns and manages a chili dog and soft drink store near the campus. Although Marty can service 30 customers per hour on average, he only gets 20 customers per hour. Because Marty could wait on 50% more customers than actually visit his store, it doesn't make sense to him that he should have any waiting lines. Marty hires you to examine the situation and to determine some characteristics of his queue. After looking into the problem, you find this to be an M/M/1 system. Find a. The average number of customers in the system. b. The average time a customer spends waiting in the queue. e. The average number of customers the queue. ( d. The average time a customer spends waiting in the queue. e. The percent idle time or the probability no one is in the system. 2 p== μ L= 2 μ-λ P=1- 2 (1-2) 1 H-A W=.
