Customers arrive at a common queue at the coffee station with two identical coffee machines in a busy mall at the rate of 48 per hour, following Poisson distribution. Each customer mixes his or her specialty coffee taking 2 minutes on an average following an exponential process. What is the expected number of customers in the system at this coffee station?

(4) In a shop there are two cashiers (A and B) with a single queue for them. Customers arrive at the queue as a Poisson process with rate λ, and wait for the first available cashier. If both cashiers are available, they pick one equally likely. Each cashier finishes with a customer after an exponential waiting time, with parameters µa and µb for cashier A and B, respectively. Assume that λ < µa+µb. (a) Formulate a Markov chain model with...

Customers arrive at a two-server system according to a Poisson process having rate λ = 5. An arrival finding server 1 free will begin service with that server. An arrival finding server 1 busy and server 2 free will enter service with server 2. An arrival finding both servers busy goes away. Once a customer is served by either server, he departs the system. The service times at server i are exponential with rates µi, where µ1 = 4, µ2...

Individual customers arrive at a coffee shop after it opens at 6 AM. The number of customers arriving by 7AM has a Poisson distribution with parameter λ = 10. 25% of the customers buy a single donut and coffee, and 75% just buy coffee. Each customer acts independently. Answer the following: a.What are the two random variables described above and what are their probability mass functions? b.What is the probability that exactly five customers arrive by 7AM? c.If 10 customers...

Suppose that customers arrive to a ATM in a POisson arrival with 3 person/hour. Assume that it takes on average 5 minutes with variance = 4 for the ATM to process each transaction. Answer the following questions a. On average how many people are waiting in the line? b. On average how much time will people need to wait in line? Suppose there are two identical ATM machines. Answer (a) and (b) for Q2.

In a gas station there is one gas pump. Cars arrive at the gas station according to a Poisson proces. The arrival rate is 20 cars per hour. An arriving car finding n cars at the station immediately leaves with probability qn = n/4, and joins the queue with probability 1−qn, n = 0,1,2,3,4. Cars are served in order of arrival. The service time (i.e. the time needed for pumping and paying) is exponential. The mean service time is 3...

Customers arrive at bank according to a Poisson process with rate 20 customers per hour. The bank lobby has enough space for 10 customers. When the lobby is full, an arriving customers goes to another branch and is lost. The bank manager assigns one teller to customer service as long as the number of customers in the lobby is 3 or less. She assigns two tellers if the number is more than 3 but less than 8. Otherwise she assigns...

Case Study: Pantry Shop (modified) Customers arrive at the Pantry Shop store at a rate of 3 per minute and the Poisson distribution accurately defines this rate. A single cashier works at the store, and the average time to serve a customer is 15 seconds, and the exponential distribution may be used to describe the distribution of service times. What are λ and μ in this situation? Using Kendall notation, what type of queuing system is this? How many minutes...
