The first method predicts the numbers of callers to be 23, 5, 14, and 20 for the four respective days. The second method predicts 20, 13, 14, and 20 for the four respective days. The actual numbers of callers turn out to be 23, 10, 15, and 19. Which method has the smaller mean absolute error (MAE)?

There are two Food Champions, each capable of handling 100 orders per hour. On average, how many cars do you expect to have in the drive-thru line? (Include those waiting to place orders and those waiting for food.) (Use the Excel spreadsheet Queue Models.). (Do not round intermediate calculations.

- A manager is simulating the number of times a machine operator stops a machine to make adjustments. After careful study the manager found that the number of stops ranged from one to five per cycle and that each number of stops was equally likely. Using the random numbers 0.17 and 0.47 (in that order), determine how many stops for adjustments each of the next two cycles will have. The first cycle will have stops and the second cycle will have stops.arrow_forwardY3arrow_forwardUsers are connected to a database server through a network. Users request files from the Database server. The database server takes a period of time that is exponentially distributed with mean 5 seconds to process a request. Find the probability that 10 requests are processed by the server during the first 1 minutes. Determine the probability that no request is processed by the server during the first 2 minutes Determine the average number of requests processed in 2 minutesarrow_forward
- (Please do not give solution in image format thanku) A mail order firm has one customer service representative. On average, one potential customer call CSD every four minute. The customer service representative requires on average 2 minutes to serve a customer. Both arrival and service time have a coefficient of 1. (a) if the firm has to pay 5 cents for every minute of waiting for each customer, how much money the firm has to spend in a 8 hour period? Asssume customers can always enter the waiting linearrow_forwardPlease do not give solution in image format thankuarrow_forwardLarry Ellison starts a company that manufactures high-end custom leather bags. He hires two employees. Each employee only begins working on a bag when a customer order has been received and then she makes the bag from beginning to end. The average production time of a bag is 1.7 days, with a standard deviation of 3 days. Larry expects to receive one customer order per day on average. The interarrival times of orders have a coefficient of variation of one. X Answer Is complete but not entirely correct. (Carry at least 4 decimal places in all intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.) What is the expected duration, in days, between when an order is received and when production begins on the bag? 30.39 8 daysarrow_forward
- Please do not give solution in image format thanku There are approximately 300 customers shopping in Fackert Department Store in Mexico City between 9 A.M. and 5 P.M. on Saturdays. All those entering the store will make purchases. When deciding how many cash registers to keep open each Saturday, owner Susanna Fackert considers 2 factors: customer waiting time (and the associated waiting cost) and the service costs of employing additional checkout clerks. Checkout clerks are paid an average of $4 per hour. When only 1 is on duty, the waiting time to checkout per customer is about 10 minutes (or 1/6 of an hour); when 2 clerks are on duty, average waiting time is 6 minutes per person; 4 minutes when 3 clerks are working; and 3 minutes with 4 clerks. Ms. Fackert has conducted customer satisfaction surveys and has been able to estimate that the store suffers approximately $5 in lost sales and goodwill for every hour of customer time spent in line waiting to checkout.
