12. The Farmer School plans to install a free blood pressure testing booth in the Main Commons. Assume that, on the average, every six minutes a person will request a test. Assume arrivals are Poisson from an infinite population. Blood pressure measurements can be made at a constant time of three minutes each. How many people are at the testing booth (either waiting or having their measurement taken), on average?

7. Consider a bank where potential customers arrive atrate of 60 customers per hour. However, because oflimited space, one out of every four arriving customersfinds the bank full and leaves immediately (withoutentering the bank). Suppose that the average numberof customers waiting in line in the bank is 3.5. Howlong will a typical entering customer have to wait inline? (Hint: In Little’s formula, l refers only to customers who enter the system.)
13. Suppose AirOM passengers arrive to the check-in desk every 100 seconds (on average). The desk is staffed by a single ticketing agent, who takes 1.4 minutes (on average) to process a passenger. The arrivals follow a Poisson process and the service time is distributed exponentially. What is a passenger’s average waiting time (in seconds)? Enter a single number as your answer. If your final number is not integer, keep two decimal places in your answer.
.1.An operator handles adjustments for a group of 8 machines. Adjustment time is exponentiallydistributed and has a mean of 12 minutes per machine. The machines operate for an average of 85minutes between adjustments. While running, each machine can turn out 55 pieces per hour. Nowfind:a. The average number of machines waiting for adjustment. b. The average number of machines being serviced.c. Average downtime. d. The probability that a machine will have to wait for an adjustment.

Autos arrive following a Poisson distribution at the rate of 1212 per hour. Renuka wants to? know: ? a) The average wait time in the line ?= __________(round your response to two decimal? places). ? b) The average number of customers waiting in the line ?= ________ cars ?(round your response to two decimal? places).
Consider an M/G/1/GD/∞/∞ queuing system in which anaverage of 10 arrivals occur each hour.

Use the attached to answer the follwoing questions. 1. Assume RentAphone could buy additional phones for $500 a piece. Is it worht buying one additional phone? justify your answer. 2. How would waiting time change if the company decides to limit all rentals to exactly 72 hours? Assume that if such a stetiction is imposed, the number of customers requesting a phone would b reduce to 20 customers per day. Enter the new waiting time in hours.
Paula Caplin is manager of a major electronics repair facilityowned by Fisher Electronics. Recently, top management ex-pressed concern over the growth in the number of repair jobs in process at the facility. The average arrival rate is 120 jobsper day. The average job spends four days at the facility.a. What is the current work-in-process level at the facility?b. Suppose that top management has put a limit of one-halfthe current level of work-in-process. What goal mustPaula establish, and how might she accomplish it?
10. Two operators handle adjustments for a group of 10 machines. Adjustment time is exponentiallydistributed and has a mean of 14 minutes per machine. The machines operate for an average of86 minutes between adjustments. While running, each machine can turn out 50 pieces per hour.Find the following:a. The probability that a machine will have to wait for an adjustmentb. The average number of machines waiting for adjustmentc. The average number of machines being servicedd. The expected hourly output of each machine, taking adjustments into accounte. Machine downtime represents a cost of $70 per hour; operator cost (including salary andfringe benefits) is $15 per hour. What is the optimum number of operators?

In a M/M/1 queueing system, the arrival rate is 8 customers per hour and the service rate is 11 customers per hour. If the service process is automated (resulting in no variation in service times but the same service rate). What will be the resulting performance measurements? (Round your ansers to 3 decimal places) a. What is the expected number of customers in the queue (Lq)? b. What is the expected waiting time (in hours) in the queue (Wq)?

There are three spaces in front of the window, including the car being served. Other arriving cars can wait outside these three spaces. A. What is the probability that an arriving customer can enter one of these three spaces? B. What is the probability that an arriving customer is expected to wait outside the three spaces. C.How long is an arriving customer expected to wait before starting service.
