Suppose a queueing system fitting the M/M/1 model has W = 120 minutes and L = 8 customers. Use these facts (and the formula for W) to find λ and μ and explain what are λ and μ.

Solutions

Expert Solution

solution:

let a =

and let

in M/M/1 model:

W denotes the average time a customer spen in the system

.........................eq 1

L denotes the average number of customer in the system

and

multiplying by 15 both sides

.......................eq 2

from eq 1 and 2 we get

putting the value of in eq 1 we get

here means average number of items or customer served per time period

means average number of arrival of customer per time period

1. A single-server queueing system has an average service time of 16 minutes per customer, which is exponentially distributed. The manager is thinking of converting to a system with a constant service time of 16 minutes. The arrival rate will remain the same. The effect will be to: increase the utilization factor. decrease the utilization factor. decrease the average time in the system. Increase the average time in the system. not have any effect since the service time is unchanged....

1. A rod of uniform density and weight W=120N has length L=1.00 m and is supported at two points, under the 10 cm point and under the 70 cm point. The support at 10 cm exerts a force NL on the rod and the support at 70 cm exerts a force NR on the rod, both forces being in the vertical direction. (a) Use the conditions of static equilibrium to find the values of NL and NR. (b) In order...

Consider a single server queueing system. Arrivals take place every four minutes (first arrival takes place at t=0). Service times are random and take the value of 1 with probability 1/2 and 5 with probability ½. Assume that the following service time sequence is generated: S1=5, S2=5, S3=5, S4=1, S5=5. Simulate for T=20 minutes and estimate the average number of customers in the system and the average waiting time of a customer.
