James A. Farley Post Office in New York, NY is the largest U.S. Postal Service retail space at 33,100 square feet. Suppose that it allows for many Parallel Queues and Several Counters for servicing customers. In contrast, assume that another large Post Office in Chicago allows for One Queue and Several Counters. Let’s denote the average wait time in the James Farley Post Office as AWTJFPO, and the average wait time in the Chicago Post Office as AWTCPO. Similarly, let’s denote the variability in waiting times from one customer to the next as VJFPO and VCPO respectively. Select the best choice.
Group of answer choices
Even if AWTJFPO and AWTCPO are about the same, VJFPO will be different than VCPO.
The math in Queueing Theory allows us to conclude that always, AWTJFPO = VCPO.
The math in Queuing Theory allows us to conclude that always, AWTJFPO = VJFPO.
The math in Queuing Theory allows us to conclude that always, VJFPO = VCPO.
