Consider a base case where a customer arrives every 40 seconds and the Customer Service Champion can handle 120 customers perhour. There are two Food Champlons, each capable of handling 100 orders per hour.On average, how many cars do you expect to have in the drive-thru line? (Include those walting to place orders and those waiting forfood.). (Use the Excel spreadsheet Queue Models.). (Do not round Intermediete calculetlons. Round "Lg" value and final answers to4 decimal places.)Average total customers waiting in lineAverage number of customers in the system

The manager of a bank wants to use an MyMys queueingmodel to weigh the costs of extra tellers against the costof having customers wait in line. The arrival rate is 60customers per hour, and the average service time is fourminutes. The cost of each teller is easy to gauge at the$11.50 per hour wage rate. However, because estimatingthe cost per minute of waiting time is difficult, the bankmanager decides to hire the minimum number of tellersso that a typical customer has probability 0.05 of waitingmore than five minutes in line.a. How many tellers will the manager use, given thiscriterion?b. By deciding on this many tellers as “optimal,” themanager is implicitly using some value (or some range of values) for the cost per minute of wait-ing time. That is, a certain cost (or cost range) would lead to the same number of tellers as sug-gested in part a. What is this implied cost (or cost range)?
In a D/D/1 queueing systems, the arrival rate and service rate are equal to 6 customers/hour and 12 customers/hour, respectively. What is the average queue length?
On average, 100 customers arrive per hour at theGotham City Bank. The average service time for eachcustomer is one minute. Service times and interarrivaltimes are exponentially distributed.
