Chapter 5, Problem 19P
Summary Introduction

Interpretation: Average length of the line, considering it M/M/1 model.

Concept introduction: The M/M/1 queue assumes poison arrivals, exponential service times, and a single server serving customers in an FCFS fashion. Poisson arrivals are a reasonably good assumption for unscheduled systems. Further, if there is a mix of many different types of jobs the exponential distribution can be realistic for service times. Otherwise, it tends to be too variable of a distribution.
