For multiple server models please use the approximate formulae and check your answers using Excel software. Students arrive at an administrative services office at an average of one every 15 minutes, and their requests take, on average, 10 minutes to be processed. The service counter is staffed by only one clerk who works eight hours per day. Assume exponential inter-arrival time and service times. a. What percentage of time is server idle? b. How much time, on average, does a student spend waiting in line? c. How long is the (waiting) line, on average?
arrival rate = lambda =60/ 15 = 4 per hour
service rate = mu = 60/10=6 per hour
Proportion of the time server is busy = 4/6 =0.666
Proportion of idle time = 1-0.6666 =0.3333 =33.33%
Waiting time in line Wq = lambda / mu ( mu-lambda)
= 4/6 (6-4) =0.33 hour
Size of the line = Lambda x Wq
= 0.33 x4 = 1.32 persons

Students arrive at the Administrative Services Office at an average of one every 15 minutes, and their requests take, on average, 12 minutes to be processed. The service counter is staffed by only one clerk, Judy Gumshoes, who works eight hours per day. Assume Poisson arrivals and exponential service times. Use the Q.xls calculator to answer the following questions. What percentage of time is Judy idle? How long is the (waiting) line, on average (Lq)? How much time, on average,...
Students arrive at the Administrative Services Office at an average of one every 24 minutes, and their requests take on average 20 minutes to be processed. The service counter is staffed by only one clerk, Judy Gumshoes, who works eight hours per day. Assume Poisson arrivals and exponential service times. a. What percentage of time is Judy idle? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.) Percentage of time --------------% b. How much time, on average, does a student spend waiting...
Students arrive at the Administrative Services Office at an average of one every 12 minutes, and their requests take on average 10 minutes to be processed. The servicecounter is staffed by only one clerk, Judy Gumshoes, who works eight hours per day. Assume Poisson arrivals and exponential service times. Required: (a) Whatpercentage of time is Judy idle? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Omit the "%" sign in your response.) (b) How much time, on average, does a student...
For questions 1-3 Customers arrive at the Cox Store at an average of one every 15 minutes and their requests take on average 10 minutes to be processed. The service counter is staffed by only one Cox representative, Mark, who works from 9AM to 5PM every day. Assume Poisson arrivals and exponential service times. 1. What are the arrival and service rates that should be used for this problem? A. λ = 4 customers/hour μ = 6 customers/hour B. λ =...
ll patients who arrive to the Emergency Department (ED) of Cleanland Clinic first go to Registration and then to Triage. Triage is staffed by two nurses: Gary and Elena. Triage is using a single line and patients are served on a first-come-first-serve basis. (a) Patients arrive at an average of one every 30 minutes, and their requests take on average 20 minutes to be processed at Triage. Assume Poisson arrivals and exponential service times. What is the average waiting time...
Question 2 Customers arrive at the checkout counter (shown in the figure below) at random from 1 to 8 minutes apart. Each possible value of inter-arrival time has the same probability of occurrence, as shown in Table 2.6. The service times vary from 1 to 6 minutes with the probabilities shown in Table 2.7.

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...
**LOOKING FOR FORMULAS, ANSWERS PROVIDED. Problem-1: At a single-phase, multiple-channel service facility, customers arrive randomly. Statistical analysis of past data shows that the interarrival time has a mean of 20 minutes and a standard deviation of 4 minutes. The service time per customer has a mean of 15 minutes and a standard deviation of 5 minutes. The waiting cost is $200 per customer per hour. The server cost is $25 per server per hour. Assume general probability distribution and no...
solve using excel A-C 8. The parts department of a large automobile dealership has a counter used exclusively for mechanics' requests for parts. The time between requests can be modeled by a negative exponential distribution that has a mean of five minutes. A clerk can handle requests at a rate of 15 per hour, and this can be modeled by a Poisson distribution that has a mean of 15. Suppose there are two clerks at the counter. a. On average,...
