Question

problem Save it for later In Example 2.5, let the service-time distribution be changed to the following: 2 34 5 6 0.05 0.10 0.20 0.30 0.25 0.10 Service Time (Minutes Probability Run the experiment for 50 trails. Is there any difference between the average waiting time here and that in the Example 2.5 before the change was made? If there is a difference, to what do you attribute it? Reference Example: 2.5 Example 2.5: The Grocery Checkout, a Single-Server Queue A small grocery store has one checkout counter. Customers arrive at the checkout co times that range from 1 to 8 minutes apart. We assume that interarrival times are inte each of the 8 values having equal probability, this is a discrete uniform distribut Table 2.9·Thc scrvicc timcs vary from 1 to 6 minutes (also integer-valucd), with t shown in Table 2.10. Our objective is to analyze the system by simulating the arriva 100 customers and to compute a variety of typical measures of performance for que Reference Table: 2.9 Table 2.9 Distribution of Time Between Arrivals Interarrival Times minutes Minimum 7 Maximum8 Reference Figure 2.10 Histogram (Din Froquencies) for Avg.

Explanation / Answer

H0: There is no significance difference between average waiting time and observed frequencies

H1: There is significance difference between average waiting time and observed frequencies

From the given data,

Num Categories: 6
Degrees of freedom: 5

Test Statistic, X^2: 34.0800
Critical X^2: 11.07051
P-Value: 0.0000

Here P-value < alpha 0.05, so we reject H0

Thus we concude that   there is significance difference between average waiting time and observed frequencies

Service Expected Observed Time Probability frequency (ei) frequency (Oi) (Oi-ei)^2/ei 1 0.05 2.5 1 0.9 2 0.1 5 10 5 3 0.2 10 22 14.4 4 0.3 15 15 0 5 0.25 12.5 1 10.58 6 0.1 5 1 3.2 Total: 34.08
