The following data yields the arrival and service times that each customer will require, for the first 13 customers at a single server queue system (M/M/1). Upon arrival, a customer either enters service if the server is idle or joins the waiting line. When the server completes the work on a certain customer, the next one in line (i.e. the one who has been waiting the longest) enters the service. The studied period ends until the last customer leaves the...
