In queuing problems, arrival rates are generally described by the
normal probability distribution. T/F
8.
Four of the most widely used waiting line models – M/M/1 or A,
M/M/S or B, M/D/1 of C, and Limited population or D – all share
three characteristics: Poisson arrivals, FIFO discipline, and
exponential service times. T/F
9.
A single-phase waiting-line system meets the assumptions of
constant service time or M/D/1. Units arrive at this system every
12 minutes on average. Service takes a constant 8 minutes. The
average length of the queue Lq is approximately
10. Suppose a plant has a design capacity of 110 chairs per day and
