Waiting line model or queuing model 1.

customer arrive at box office window, being manned by a single individual, according to a poisson input process with a mean rate of 20 per hour. The time required to serve a customer has an exponential distribution with a mean of 90 seconds. Find the average waiting time of customer. 2. Patients arrive at a clinic according to poisson distribution at the rate of 30 patients per hour. Examination time per patient is exponential with mean rate of 40 per hour. Find the probability that an arriving patient will not have to wait. 3. At a public telephone booth the arrivals are on the average 15 per hour. A call on an average takes 3 minutes, if there is just one phone. i) what is the expected number of callers at the booth at any time? ii) For what proportion of time is the booth expected to be idle? 4. In a cafeteria it was observed that there is only one bearer who takes exactly 4 minutes to serve a cup of coffee once the order has been placed with him. It the students arrive in a cafeteria at an average rate of 10 per hour, how much time one is expected to spend waiting for his turn to place the order. 5. Truck arrives at the truck dock of a whole sale concern in a poisson manner at 8 per hour. Service time distribution is approximated by exponential distribution with an average 5 minutes. Calculate i) the number in waiting line, ii) the waiting time in the system iii) the mean number in the system, iv) the problem of having 6 trucks in the system. 6. Problem arrive at a computing center in Poisson fashion with a mean arrival rate of 25 per hour. The average computing job requires 2 minutes of terminal time. Calculate i) Average no. of problem waiting for the computer. ii) The percentage of times an arrival can walk right in without having to wait. 7. A TV repairman finds that the time spent on his jobs has an exponential distribution with mean 30 minutes. If he repairs set in the order in which they come in, and if the arrival of sets is approximately Poisson with an average rate of 10 per 8 hour day, what is the repairmans expected idle time each day? How many jobs are ahead of the average set just brought in?

8. Customer arrive at a sale counter manned by a single person according to Poisson process with a mean rate of 20 per hour. The time required to serve a customer has an exponential distribution with a mean of 100 seconds. Find the average waiting time of a customer. 9. In a bank there is only one window, a solitary employee performs all the services required and the window remains continuously open from 7.00 am to 1.00 pm. It has been discovered that the average number of clients is 54 during the day and that the average service time is 5 minutes per person. Calculate i) the average number of clients in the system (including one being served) ii) The average waiting time. 10.At one man barbershop, it takes on the average one half hour to service a customer and the customer arrive at an average rate of one every forty five minutes. If a poisson exponential model is assumed then find: i) The average time a customer spends in the shop ii) The expected number of customers in the queue at any given time. 11.Telephone arrive at a booth following a poisson distribution with an average time of 5 minutes between one arrival and the next. The time taken for a telephone call is on an average 3 minutes and it follows an exponential distribution. What is the probability that the booth is busy? What is the average waiting time for a call before being connected? 12.In a bank cheques are cashed by a single teller counter. Customer arrive at the counter in a Poisson fashion at an average rate of 30 customers per hour. The teller takes on an average one minute to cash a cheque. The service time has been shown to be exponentially distributed. Find the average number of customers in the waiting line and find the average number of customers in the bank.
