Question
Chapter 13.5, Problem 34P
Summary Introduction
To determine: The system that Person X would prefer if he was a bank manager.
Introduction: In order to predict the waiting time and length of the queue, queueing model will be framed. Queueing theory is the mathematical model that can be used for the decision-making process regarding the resources required to provide a service.

An M/M/1 queueing system has that customers arrive to it at a
rate of 5 per hour, i.e., its interarrival times between two consecutive arrivals follows an
exponential distribution with parameter 5 per hour. This question will ask you to evaluate
two options for designing the server in the system. Both options for the single server provide
the same service for the customers in the queueing system but they cost different amounts to
implement. In addition, the total costs of the queuing system are the implementation costs
plus the customer costs. Currently, the customer costs are $100 per hour per customer in the
queueing system.
In comparing these options, it costs us $100 per hour per customer in the queueing system.
(a) The first option for the server is one that has a service time that follows an
exponential distribution with mean 10 minutes. Determine L, W, Lq, and Wq for this
system.
(b) The second option for the server is one that has a service time that follows
an…
Marty's Barber Shop has one barber. Customers have an arrival rate of 1.1 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 one customer is receiving a haircut and two customers are waiting? Round your answer to four decimal places.P3 =
What is the probability that more than two customers are waiting? Round your answer to four decimal places.P(More than 2 waiting) =
What is the average time a customer waits for service? Round your answer to four decimal places.Wq = minutes
In an M/MA queueing system, the arrival rate is 6 customers per hour and the service rate is 8 customers per hour.
