Bill Youngdahl has been collecting data at the TU student grill.
He has found that, between 5:00 P.M. and7:00 P.M., students
arrive at the grill at a rate of 20 per hour (Poisson distributed)
and service time takes an average of 2.0 minutes (negative
exponential distribution). There is only 1 server, who can work
on only 1 order at a time.
a) The average number in the line =? customers (round your
response to two decimal places).
b) The average time in the system =? minutes (round your
response to one decimal place).
c) Suppose that a second server can be added to team up with
the first (and, in effect, act as one fasterserver). This would
reduce the average service time to 90 seconds. The average time in
the system = ? minutes (round your response to two decimal
places).
d) Suppose a second server is added and the 2 servers
actindependently, with each taking an average of 2.0 minutes. If a
second server is added, the average time a customer spends in the
system =? minutes (round your response to two
decimalplaces).
