Ashley’s department store in Kansas City maintains a successful catalog sales department in which four clerk takes orders by telephone. If four clerks are occupied on four-lines, incoming phone calls to the catalog department are answered automatically by a recording machine and asked to wait. As soon as the clerk is free, the party that has waited for the longest is transferred and answered first. Calls come in an average of 3 minutes. The clerk is capable of taking an order in an average of 10 minutes. Calls tend to follow a Poisson distribution, and service times tend to be exponential. a. λ= μ= b. Calculate P0 c. How many callers, on average, are waiting to place an order under the current operating system?

A local fast food restaurant wants to analyze its drive-thru window. At this time, the only information known is the average number of customers in the system (4.00) and the average time a customer spends at the restaurant (1.176 minutes). What is the arrival rate (λ) and the service rate (μ)? Group of answer choices Arrival rate = 4.25 customers/min. Service rate = 3.4 customers/min. Arrival rate = .29 customers/min. Service rate = .24 customers/min. Arrival rate = 3.4 customers/min. Service rate = 4.25 customers/min. Arrival rate = .24 customers/min. Service rate = .29 customers/min. None of the above answers are correct

An airline is planning to open a satellite ticket desk in a new shopping plaza, staffed by one ticket agent. It is estimated that requests for tickets and information will average 15 per hour, and request will have a Poisson distribution. Service time is assumed to be exponentially distributed. Previous experience with similar satellite operations suggests that mean service time should average about three minutes per request. Determine each of the following: Percentage number of time the server (agent) will be idle.The expected number of customers waiting to be served.The average time customers will spend in the system.The probability of zero customers in the system and the probability of four customers in the system.
