A computer system queues up batch jobs and processes them on an FCFS basis. Between 2 and 5 P.M., jobs arrive at an average rate of 30 per hour and require an average of 1.2 minutes of computer time. Assume the arrival process is Poisson and the processing times are exponentially distributed.a. What is the expected number of jobs in the system and in the queue in the steady state?b. What are the expected flow time and the time in the queue in the steady state?c. What is the probability that the system is empty?d. What is the probability that the queue is empty?e. What is the probability that the flow time of a job exceeds 10 minutes?

Customers arrive at a check-out counter in a supermarket in a Poisson fashion at a rate of 8 customers per hour. The supermarket has one cashier only. The check-out time is exponentially distributed with a mean of 3.204 minutes. Assume the queue discipline is first in first out (FIFO). Use Arena to simulate the system, run one replication for 10,000,000 minutes (10 million minutes), use minutes as the base time unit. Choose the nearest answer for the following. Note: No need to upload your Arena Model The server utilization Choose. + The average time in the queue; Choose. The probability that the server is idle Choose. The average number of cars in the queue; Choose. The average number of cars in the system Choose. The average time in system Choose.
.A new, miracle diabetes drug that diminishes major symptoms of diabetes has been approved by the FDA. Health care professionals and researchers believe that the new drug will prolong lifespan of diabetes patients. If the population is in steady state and the incidence is constant, what will the effect of this new drug be on the prevalence of diabetes in the population? Explain.

A study-aid desk staffed by a graduate student has been established to answer students' questions and help in working problems in your OSCM course. The desk is staffed eight hours per day. The dean wants to know how the facility is working. Statistics show that students arrive at a rate of five per hour and the distribution is approximately Poisson. Assistance time averages 10 minutes, distributed exponentially. Assume population and line length can be infinite and queue discipline is FCFS. a. Calculate the percentage utilization of the graduate student. (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.) b. Calculate the average number of students in the system, including the graduate student service desk. (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.) c. Calculate the average time in the system. (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.) d. Calculate the probability of four or more students being in line or being served. (Round your intermediate calculations to 3 decimal places and final answer to…
Customers arrive at a barber shop according to a Poisson process at a rate of 8 per hour. Each customer requires 10 minutes on average. The barber shop has four chairs and a single barber. A customer does not wait if all chairs are occupied. Assuming an exponential distribution for service times,a. compute the expected time an entering customer spends in the barber shop.b. Suppose the barber charges $12 for service. Compute the long-run rate of revenue for the barber. (Hint: What fraction of the arriving customers enter?)
Moore’s portable X-ray equipment repair service shop receives an average of 6 portable X-ray sets per 8-hour day to be repaired. Moore would like to be able to tell his customers that they can expect one day service. What average repair time per set will the repair shop have to achieve to provide 1-day service on average? Assume that the arrival rate is Poisson distributed and repair times are exponentially distributed.
A family purchases a 2000 square foot home and plans to make extensions totalling 500 square feet. The house currently has a pool, and a real estate agent has reported that the house is in excellent condition. However, the house does not have a view, and this will not change as a result of the extensions. According to the results in column (1), what is the expected DOLLAR increase in the price of the home due to the planned extensions?
Top Cutz International Barbershop is a popular haircutting and styling salon . Four barbers work full-time and spend an average of 15 minutes on each customer. Customers arrive all day long at an average rate of 12 per hour. When they enter, they take a number to wait for the first available barber. Arrivals tend to follow the Poisson distribution, and service times are exponentially distributed. REQUIRED (c) What is the average time spent in the shop?
