- During the early morning hours, customers arrive at a branch post office at an average rate of 45 per hour (Poisson), while clerks can handle transactions in an average time (exponential) of 4 minutes each. Find: (a) The average number of customers waiting for service if 5 clerks are used. (b) The minimum number of clerks needed to keep the average waiting time in the system to under 5 minutes. (c) If clerk cost is $40 per hour and customer waiting time represents a “cost” of $30 per hour, how many clerks can be justified on a cost basis? Please show work.Doña Blanca plans to open a small car wash and must decide how much space to allocate to waiting cars. She estimates that customers will arrive randomly (Poisson process) at an average rate of 1 every 4 minutes, unless the waiting area is full, in which case the arriving customers will take their car elsewhere. The total time attributable to washing a car has exponential distribution with mean 3 minutes. Compare the fraction of potential customers lost due to lack of waiting space if a) 2 and b) 4 spaces (in addition to the wash location) are provided.The Rockwell Electronics Corporation retains a service crew to repair machine breakdowns that occur on an average of l = 3 per day (approximately Poisson in nature). The crew can service an average of m = 8 machines per day, with a repair time distribution that resembles the exponential distribution. (a) What is the utilization rate of this service system? (b) What is the average downtime for a machine that is broken? (c) How many machines are waiting to be serviced at any given time? (d) What is the probability that more than one machine is in the system? Probability that more than two are broken and waiting to be repaired or being serviced? More than three? More than four?
- The Minute Stop Market has one pump for gasoline, which can service 10 customers per hour (Poisson distrib-uted). Cars arrive at the pump at a rate of 5 per hour (Poisson distributed). a. Determine the average queue length, the average time acar is in the system, and the average time a car must wait.b. If, during the period from 4:00 P.M. to 5:00 P.M., thearrival rate increases to 12 cars per hour, what will bethe effect on the average queue length?United Raiders Drive-In Market has one checkout counter where one employee operates the cash register. The combination of the cash resister and the operator is the server in this queuing system; the customers who line up at the counter to pay their selections form the waiting line. Customers arrive at a rate of 24 per hour according to a Poisson distribution, and service times are on average equal to 2 minutes per customer. What is the number of customers waiting in the queue on average?Marty's Barber Shop has one barber. Customers have an arrival rate of 2.2 customers per hour, and haircuts are given with a service rate of 4 per hour. Use the Poisson arrivals and exponential service times model to answer the following questions: What is the probability that no units are in the system? If required, round your answer to four decimal places.P0 = fill in the blank 1 What is the probability that one customer is receiving a haircut and no one is waiting? If required, round your answer to four decimal places.P1 = fill in the blank 2 What is the probability that one customer is receiving a haircut and one customer is waiting? If required, round your answer to four decimal places.P2 = fill in the blank 3
- Jolt - Exp The soda machine outside the lecture hall sees a steady stream of customers throughout the day. While the machine takes 4 seconds to deliver a can of carbonated sugar water once the button is pressed, the student customers introduce variation into the delivery process by pondering their selection for a while_ Thus, we can safely say that the service time is governed by a negative exponential probability distribution that averages 10 seconds. Over the course of a twelve hour lecture day, students arrive at the rate of 240 per hour, Poisson distributed of course. Nathan is cutting it close today. At 10:00:00 AM, the professor will close the door to the classroom and ignore any requests to enter the room once his scintillating lecture has begun. What is the probability that he finds only one person at the machine buying a soda?4.) The DMV Licensing office has a single line for customers waiting for the next available clerk. There are two clerks who work at the same rate. On average customers arrive every 8 minutes and the average service rate is 5 per hour for each of the two clerks. The arrival rate of customers follows a Poisson distribution, while the service time follows an exponential distribution. a.) What percentage of the total available service time is being used? b.) Due to Covid restrictions, only two customers are allowed in the office at the same time. What percent of the time will there be customers waiting outside?A grocery store has three open checkout counters. There is a single queue leading up to these three counters. On average, 45 shoppers arrive at this queue. The coefficient of variation of the interarrival time is equal to 1. The average service capacity of each of the three servers is 18 customers per hour, and the coefficient of variation of service time distribution for each server is 3. (a) (3 points) What is the percentage decrease in capacity utilization when one more checkout lane is added to the system? (b) (7 points) On average, how many customers are waiting in the queue?
- Determining the Number of ServersIn the service department of the Glenn-Mark Auto Agency, mechanics requiring parts for auto repair or service present their request forms at the parts department counter. The parts clerk fills a request while the mechanic waits. Mechanics arrive in a random (Poisson) fashion at the rate of 40 per hour, and a clerk can fill requests at the rate of 20 per hour (exponential).If the cost for a parts clerk is $30 per hour and the cost for a mechanic is $60 per hour, determine the optimum number of clerks to staff the counter. (Because of the high arrival rate, an infinite source may be assumed.)Benny the Barber owns a one-chair shop. At barber college, they told Benny that his customers would exhibit a Poisson arrival distribution and that he would provide an exponential service distribution. His market survey data indicate that customers arrive at a rate of two per hour. It will take Benny an average of 20 minutes to give a haircut. Based on these figures, find the following: Part (a): The average number of customers waiting. Arrival Time, λ =2 customers per hour Service Time, μ = 20 minute, or 60/20= 3 customer per hour Lq = (2)2 / 3*(3-2) = 1.333 customers Part (b): The average time a customer waits. Wq= 1.333/2=0,665 \~ 0,67 or 40 minutes Part (c): The average time a customer is in the shop. LS = 2/ 3-2 =2 customers. WS = 2/2 = 1 hour Part (d): The average utilization of Benny’s time. P= λ/ μ = 2/3=0,666 percent ~ 0,67 % Benny the Barber (see Question 1) is considering the addition of a second chair. Customers would be selected for a haircut on a FCFS basis from…In the library, students arrive randomly at the help desk, which is staffed by 4 employees (all of them answer inquiries from students). The time required for inquiry varies from student to student. Arrivals have been found to follow a Poisson process (i.e., exponentially distributed inter-arrival times), and the service times follow an exponential distribution. The average arrival rate is 12 students per hour, and the average service rate is 13 students per hour. What is the utilization of the help desk? Note: 1. Provide your answer as a percentage, but do not include the % mark. 2. Keep two decimal places. For example, if your result is 35.126%, enter 35.13.
