Question

Consider an M / M / 1 queueing system with capacity N = 2. Suppose that customers arrive at the rate of λ per hour and are served at the rate of 8 per hour. a. What should the arrival rate be so that an arriving potential customer has a 50% chance of joining the queue? b. With λ chosen to satisfy the requirement of part a, what percentage of the customers who actually enter the system get served immediately?

Step 1

In an M/M/1 queue with capacity N = 2, we have a single server, exponential interarrival and service times, and a maximum of 2 customers in the system (including the one being served). The arrival rate is λ customers per hour, and the service rate is μ = 8 Show more…
