Huduko Inc. offers a number of computer services. One server handles its own webpage. It receives requests for web pages at the rate of 90 per second. The standard deviation of these interarrival times is 0.02 second. What is the coefficient of variation of theinterarrival times for this server?
I need assitance with solving this problem 9. I made numerous attempts to solve. however I am still having issues. Please provide a step by step explanation so, I can use it as notes for future reference. Respectfully thank you

(standard deviation of 26).
(Round your answer to three decimal places.)

- Please fill out the data tables using the given informationarrow_forwardA firm is engaged in both shipping and receiving activities. The management is always interested in improving the efficiency of new innovations in loading and unloading procedures. The arrival distribution of trucks is found to be Poisson with arrival rate of 3 trucks per The service time distribution is exponential with unloading rate of 4 trucks per hour. Determine (i) expected number of trucks in the queue, hour. (ii) expected waiting time of the truck in the queue, (iii) probability that the loading and unloading dock and workers will be idle, (iv) what reductions in waiting time are possible if loading and unloading is standardised?arrow_forward(Please do not give solution in image format thanku) A single Automated Teller Machine (ATM) is located on the ground floor of a popular shopping mall. Service time at this machine is exponentially distributed. On average, the ATM machine can serve a customer in 3 minutes. Customer arrivals at the machine are Poisson distributed, with an average of 15 customers an hour. Relevant formulas to analyze this M/M/1 model are available in your textbook. What percent of the time is this machine idle? 25% 0% 75% 50% 100%arrow_forward
- I am looking to simulate the flow of four different products within a warehouse environment. Each product first moves to a temporary waiting area before being processed by one of four dedicated inspection machines. After inspection, the products proceed to a scanning station and are then transported to one of four racks. Products arrive randomly, averaging every 12 seconds, with inspection times varying, averaging 6 seconds. The scanning process is fixed at 4 seconds. The simulation will run for 50,000 seconds with a queue capacity of 10,000. To start, I am using FlexSim to build the model. I will be setting up the layout, configuring the settings for key elements like queues, sources, and processors, and analysing the simulation output, paying attention to important metrics such as the “state” and “average content” of key objects to gain insights into the system’s performance.Help me check whether my layout in the attached image is correct or not for the above task, or i am still…arrow_forwardPls solve this question correctly in 5 min i will give instant likearrow_forward48. Ships arrive at a port facility at an average rate of twoships every three days. On average, it takes a single crewone day to unload a ship. Assume that interarrival andservice times are exponential. The shipping companyowns the port facility as well as the ships using that facility. The companyestimates that it costs $1000 per dayfor each day that a ship spends in port. The crew servicing the ships consists of 100 workers, each of whom ispaid an average of $30 per day. A consultant has recommended that the shipping company hire an additional40 workers and split the employees into two equal-sizecrews of 70 each. This would give each crew an averageunloading or loading time of 1.5 days. Which crew arrangement would you recommend to the company?arrow_forward
- In a queueing system, customers arrive once every 6 seconds (standard deviation = 5) and services take 5 seconds (standard deviation = 4). (Do nót round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to three decimal places.) customers What is the average number of customers in the queue?arrow_forwardThe QRS Trucking Services, has one warehouse servicing its 4 clients within the area. The warehouse hasonly one loading harbor with 3 service crews. The manager has observed that there are certain timeswherein their delivery vans are waiting in the harbor to be loaded. Also, there are instances whereintheir three service crews are idle. Thinking about the situation of their business , the manager noticedthat it follows the Single-Channel Queueing Model.Analyzing the record book, he noticed that the customers’ arrival rate is 3 delivery vans per hour, and onthe average service rate is 5 delivery vans per hour. What advise can you give to the manager about theimplication of adding another service crew, or even two or more crews to increase and improve theservice rate of his loading harbor?If the manager adds one or more service crew(s), the loading harbor can still be considered as a single-channel system, because only one delivery truck ( the customer) can be served at any one time.…arrow_forwardWhat do we mean by the term queue discipline?o Queue discipline refers to how people should behave in a queue.o Queue discipline refers to the study of queues and waiting lines.o Queue discipline refers to policies for deciding the order of receiving service byarrivals.o Queue discipline refers to removing customers from a queue when they misbehave.arrow_forward
- suppose tht a queueing system has two identical servers, and an exponential service-time distribution with a mean of 1/u=10minutes. furthermore, a customer has just arrived to find two in the system. how long would you expect him to wait before being able to start service? Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution. Maintain accuracy and quality in your answer. Take care of plagiarism. Answer completely. You will get up vote for sure.arrow_forwardWhat is the answer in this number 2?arrow_forwardIn a D/D/1 queueing systems, the arrival rate and service rate are equal to 6 customers/hour and 12 customers/hour, respectively. What is the average queue length?arrow_forward
