A Northwest Airlines ticket counter forecasts that 40 people per hour will need to check in. It takes an average of 1.2 minutes to services a customer. Assume that interarrival times and service times are exponential and that all customers wait in a single line for the first avaliable agent. If we want the average time a customer spends in line and in service to be 4 minutes or less, how many ticket agents should be on duty?
Assuming that cars arrive at a toll, on average, every 0.5 minutes, and the toll has only one payment window, and both the time between arrivals and the time between calls follow an exponential distribution. The toll attendant takes an average of 0.3 minutes to collect. Calculate the system performance measures, ie the car arrival rate and the toll service rate.
