Question
course: management science
queuing system
Explanation / Answer
Solution
We will solve this question using theory of M.M/1 Queue System.
Back-up Theory
An M/M/1 queue system is characterized by arrivals following Poisson pattern with average rate ?, [this is also the same as exponential arrival with average inter-arrival time = 1/ ?] service time following Exponential Distribution with average service time of (1/µ) [this is also the same as Poisson service with average service rate = 1/µ] and single service channel.
Let n = number of customers in the system and m = number of customers in the queue.
[Trivially, n = m + number of customers under service.]
Let (?/µ) = ?
The steady-state probability of n customers in the system is given by Pn = ?n(1 - ?) ………(1)
The steady-state probability of no customers in the system is given by P0 = (1 - ?) ………(2)
Average queue length = E(m) = (?2)/{µ(µ - ?)} …………………………………………..(3)
Average number of customers in the system = E(n) = (?)/(µ - ?)…………………………..(4)
Average waiting time = E(w) = (?)/{µ(µ - ?)} ……………………………………………..(5)
Average time spent in the system = E(v) = {1/(µ - ?)}……………………………………..(6)
Percentage idle time of service channel = P0 = (1 - ?) …………………………………….(7)
Probability of waiting = 1 - P0 = ? …………………..…………………………………….(8)
Preparatory Work
Given ? = 2/hour, µ = 3/hour, ? = 2/3 = 0.6667 …………………………………………..(8)
i) Average number of customers in the system = E(n) = (?)/(µ - ?) = 2 ANSWER [vide (4)]
ii) Probability none in the system = P0 = (1 - ?) = 1/3 = 0.3333 ANSWER [vide (7)]
iii) Average number of customers waiting in the queue = E(m) = (?2)/{µ(µ - ?)}
= 4/3 = 1.3333 ANSWER [vide (3)]
iv) Average time a customer waits in the queue = E(w) = (?)/{µ(µ - ?)}
= 2/3 hour = 40 minutes ANSWER [vide (5)]
v) System utilization = 1 - P0 = ? = 2/3 = 66.67% ANSWER [vide (7)]
