Burger Dome sells hamburgers, cheeseburgers, French fries, soft drinks, and milk shakes, as well as a limited number of specialty items and dessert selections. Although Burger Dome would like to serve each customer immediately, at times more customers arrive than can be handled by the Burger Dome food service staff. Thus, customers wait in line to place and receive their orders. Suppose that Burger Dome analyzed data on customer arrivals and concluded that the arrival rate is 48 customers per hour and 1 customer processed per minute.
Compare a multiple-server waiting line system with a shared queue to a multiple-server waiting line system with a dedicated queue for each server. Suppose Burger Dome establishes two servers but arranges the restaurant layout so that an arriving customer must decide which server's queue to join. Assume that this system equally splits the customer arrivals so that each server sees half of the customers. How does this system compare with the two-server waiting line system with a shared queue? Compare the average number of customers waiting, average number of customers in the system, average waiting time, and average time in the system. If required, round your answers to four decimal places.
Shared single queue | Dedicated queues | |
---|---|---|
Number of customers waiting | ||
Average number of customers in the system | ||
Average waiting time | minutes | minutes |
Average time in the system | minutes | minutes |
Comparing these numbers, it is clear that the two dedicated queues
results in better process performance than the shared single queue

The time required for an automotive center to complete an oil change service on an automobile approximately follows a normal distribution, with a mean of 17 minutes and a standard deviation of 2.5 minutes. (a) The automotive center guarantees customers that the service will take no longer than 20 minutes. If it does take longer, the customer will receive the service for half-price. What percent of customers receive the service for half-price? (b) If the automotive center does not want to give the discount to more than 5% of its customers, how long should it make the guaranteed time limit?

Q.1 Why is it “clearly not” Poisson? (a) Calculate summary statistics for Data1 and use them to argue that the distribution is not a Poisson distribution. (b) Use the method of moments to estimate what the parameter of a Poisson distribution would be to give you those values. (c) Collate how many values there are in the range 0-4, 5-9, 10-14, etc. and plot the resulting histogram. (d) Use the Chi-square test to determine whether the data fit a Poisson distribution. Find a better distribution for Data1: (f) Show your reasoning for which distribution you choose, and remember, you may need to compare several distributions. (g) Give all measures of fit you use, including at least the Chi-square measure of fit, calculated as you did in the question above. You are encouraged to use other measures also.

Assuming the data below is from a randomly sampled population of Psychology Major’s and the scores represent Self-Esteem. All majors have a mean of µ=15 and standard deviation of σ=5.
Data:
10, 12, 18, 12, 15, 14, 11, 10, 14, 17, 15, 13, 12
Instructions:
1. For the data above, calculate the mean, median, mode, range, sum of squares, variance, and standard deviation and put them into an APA style table (If you use JASP, then you can copy the APA table from the results).

An independent mail delivery service wants to study factors that affect the daily gas usage of its delivery trucks. Using data collected from different trucks on various days, a company analyst uses a software to fit a regression model of the form =y+52.3+−8.9x14.1x2+5x30.09x4 , where =y volume of gasoline used (in gallons) =x1 weight of truck (in tons) =x2 tire pressure (in psi, pounds per square inch) =x3 weight of initial package load (in hundreds of pounds) =x4 total distance driven while delivering packages (in miles) Answer the following questions for the interpretation of the coefficient of x1 in this model. Holding the other variables fixed, what is the average change in daily fuel used for each additional ton that a truck weighs? gallon(s) Is this change an increase or a decrease? increase decrease
