Max Stamp approves study abroad documents for the university. Students must wait inline with their forms outside Max’s office. One student at a time is allowed in his officeand Max takes precisely 15 minutes to evaluate each student’s set of documents. Onaverage, two students per hour go to his office and they spend, on average, 160 minutestrying to get their forms approved (time waiting in queue plus time in Max’s office having him evaluate their documents). On average, how many students are waiting outsideof Max’s office?
During registration at State University every semester, students in the college of business must have their courses approved by the college adviser. It takes the adviser an average of 2 minutes to approve each schedule, and students arrive at the adviser’s office at the rate of 28 per hour. the dean of the college of business at State University is considering the addition of a second adviser in the college advising office to serve students waiting to have their schedules approved. This new adviser could serve the same number of students per hour as the present adviser. Determine L, Lq,W, and Wq for this altered advising system. As a student, would you recommend adding the adviser?
A) During registration at State University every semester students in the college of business must have their courses approved by the college advisor. It takes the advisor an average of 12 minutes to approve each schedule and students arrive at the advisor's office at a rate of 3 per hour, according to A Poisson Distribution. Calculate the operating characteristics (Po, L, Lq, W, Wq and Pw) for this system. B) The dean from the college has recieved alot of complaints from students about the length of time they must wait to have their schedule approved. The dean therefore add an additional college advisor to the system describe in this problem so that it is now a multi-server queuing system with two channels. Calculate the operating characteristic channel describe in part A.
During the three hours of the morning rush from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m., 10,000 cars perhour arrive at the toll plaza of a bridge. However, only 8000 cars can be processed per hour.On average, how long does a car arriving during this three-hour period wait to get throughthe toll plaza?
Students arrive at the administrative services office at an average of one every 15 minute, and their request take on average 10 minutes to be processed. The service counter is staffed by only one clerk, Judy who works eight hours per day. Assume poisson arrivals and exponential service times a) what is the probability that am arriving student will find at least one other student waiting in line?
Mom and Pop own and operate the Fuzzy Belly Deli. On average, customers arrive at the deli every 6 minutes. Pop fulfills their orders one at a time. It takes him an average of 3 minutes to fulfill each order. Customers then proceed to the cash register, where Mom receives their payment. Mom loves to chat and is somewhat slow in operating the cash register, taking an average of 4 minutes to receive payment from each customer. Assume that customer interarrival times, as well as order fulfillment and payment times are exponentially distributed. What is the throughput of the deli's operation? What is the capacity of the deli's operation? On average, how long does a customer spend at the deli from the time she arrives until her order is fulfilled by Pop?
Students arrive randomly at the counter of the CIT Library. There is only one library assistant, and the time required for inquiry varies from student to student. The average arrival rate is 12 students per hour, and the average service rate is 20 students per hour. What is the utilization factor?

Customers arrive at Best-Bank-in-Town’s (BBT) sole ATM location at a rate of 21 customers per hour. It is assumed that the arrival process is random. BBT recently hired an intern who estimated that the average service time is 2 minutes per customer with a standard deviation of 1.2 minutes. [Assume that the arrival rate is the same throughout the day without peak and off-peak considerations and that there is only one ATM machine at that location] 1. Calculate average waiting time for ATM user at the BBT location 2. Calculate average length of queue at the ATM location (i.e. average numbers of customers waiting for service)? 3. What is the probability that an arriving customer has no waiting time to use the ATM? 4. BBT wants to cut the average waiting time in half without necessarily adding another ATM machine. They are in discussions with their ATM software provider who has told them that their new software is very consistent with information retrieval and can greatly minimize the…
