An average of 90 cars per hour arrive at a single-server toll
booth. The average service time for each customer is a half minute,
and both interarrival times and service times are exponential. For
each of the following questions, show your work, including the
formula that you are using.
1) On average, how many cars per hour will be served by the server
The assumptions in single-server queue theory include: -
Unlimited calling population may enter the queue
Arrivals are random and independent but average number of arrival does not change.
Single waiting line and arriving customers are patient customers who can wait in the queue before they can be served regardless of the length of the line.
Arrivals are served on FIFO basis
Service time of one customer may vary from that of another customer.
Single server and service time is as per the negative exponential probability distribution.
Average service rate is greater than average arrival rate.
An average of 90 cars per hour arrive at a single-server toll booth. The average service...
Cars arrive at a toll booth at average rate of 60 per hour. The standard deviation of the time between arrivals is 0.8 minutes. What is the coefficient of variation of the interarrival times of cars?
customers arrive at an average of 30 per hour. A single server in the store serves customers, taking 1.5 minutes on average to serve each customer. Inter-arrival times and service times follow the exponential distribution. What is the expected fraction of time that the server will be busy? On average, how many people will there be in the store? On average, how long will someone be in the store? What is the probability that there will be more than 2...
1) A toll plaza has 5 booths, with each booth capable of servicing 50 cars per hour. Cars arrive at the plaza at the rate of 225 cars per hour. Make the standard assumptions of a Poisson distribution for arrivals, and an Exponential distribution for service times, and calculate the following: a) What is the probability of zero cars in the toll plaza? b) What is the average length (in cars) of the (total) queue?
Please answer using stochastic operations principles Cars arrive at a rate of 10 per hour in a single-server drive-in restaurant. Assume that the teller serves vehicles with a rate exponentially distributed with a mean of 4 minutes per car (ie, a rate of 1 car every 4 minutes). Answer the following questions: (a) What is the probability that the teller is idle? (b) What is the average number of cars waiting in line for the teller? (A car that is...
The average number of cars per hour arriving at a toll booth is 57 while the standard deviation is 15. (a) Use Markov’s inequality to find an upper bound on the probability of having more than 200 cars arrive in an hour. (b) Use Chebyshev’s inequality to find an upper bound on the probability of having more than 200 cars arrive in an hour
An average of 10 cars/hour arrive at a car repair station with two servers. Assume that the average service for each customer is 4 minutes and both interarrival and service times are exponentially distributed. If this car repair station has a capacity of 4 cars a. Write the steady-state equations and solve them. Compare the results with those calculated in question 1 and draw a conclusion. b. What is the probability that the car repair station is idle? c. What...
7.1. Cars arrive to a toll booth 24 hours per day according to a Poisson process with a mean rate of 15 per hour. (a) What is the expected number of cars that will arrive to the booth between 1:00 p.m. and 1:30 p.m.? (b) What is the expected length of time between two consecutively arriving cars! (c) It is now 1:12 p.m. and a car has just arrived. What is the expected number of cars that will arrive between...
Suppose vehicles arrive at a single toll booth according to a Poisson process with a mean arrival rate of 8.4 veh/min. Their service times are exponentially distributed. The mean processing rate is 10 veh/min. a. What is the value of the utilization ratio? b. What is the average length of the queue? c. What is the average waiting time in the queue? d. What is the average time spent in the system?
Problem 3: Assume that a single-server queueing system has a Poisson interarrival process with a rate of 10 customers per hour. Also, assume that the service time is exponential with at a rate of 12 customers per hour. Answer the following questions to 3 significant digits: a) What is the expected utilization of the server? b) What is the log-run time average of number of customers in the system? c) Using Little's law, use the answer from part (b) to calculate the average waiting...
For an infinite-source, single server system with an arrival rate of 15 customers per hour (Poisson) and service time of 2 minutes per customer (exponential), the average number waiting in line to be served is: a. 0.1 b. 0.133 c. 0.50 d.0.250
