Consider an M/M/1 queue in which the expected number of customers in the system is 4, and the expected waiting time in the system is 80 minutes. What is the probability that a customer’s service time is less than 40 minutes?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Expected no of customer in the system is 4 i.e. length of queue is [tex]L=4[/tex]

Expected waiting time in the system [tex]W=80\ min[/tex]

Length of queue is given by

[tex]L=\frac{\rho }{1-\rho }[/tex]

[tex]4=\frac{\rho }{1-\rho }[/tex]

thus [tex]\rho =\frac{4}{5}[/tex]

where [tex]\rho =\frac{mean\ arrival\ rate}{mean\ service\ rate}[/tex]

L is also given by

[tex]L=\lambda \times W[/tex]

therefore

[tex]\lambda =\frac{4}{80}=\frac{1}{20}[/tex]

where [tex]\lambda [/tex]=mean arrival rate

[tex]\mu [/tex]=mean service rate

Probability that customer service rate is less than 40 minutes is

[tex]P=1-\rho e^{-\mu (1-\rho )\cdot t}[/tex]

[tex]P=1-0.8\times e^{-\frac{1}{16}\times 0.2\times 40}[/tex]

[tex]P=1-0.4852[/tex]

[tex]P=0.5147[/tex]
