- In a M/M/1 queueing system, the arrival rate is 8 customers per hour and the service rate is 11 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? (Round your ansers to 3 decimal places) a. What is the expected number of customers in the queue (Lq)? b. What is the expected waiting time (in hours) in the queue (Wq)?arrow_forward1. A single cashier handles customers that arrive at a bakery. About 34.8 customers come into the bakery per hour. It takes 73 seconds to serve each customer (standard time). 2. What is the utilization of the cashier?What is the probability there are no customers in line or at the cashier? 3. What is the probability there are less than 2 customers waiting?

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…arrow_forward
