Question 4

The bank manager of a busy downtown location found herself unable to find good teller help so she invested in an ATM to handle the routine withdrawals that tended to occupy an inordinate amount of the teller's time.Before she installed the ATM she found that customers were arriving on average every 60 seconds (Poisson distributed)and it took a teller 20 seconds (exponentially distributed)to process their request.The ATM is able to maintain a constant 30 second service time.What is the impact on the waiting time for the customers?

Accepted Answer

A) There is no change. 
B) The wait in the ATM line is 50% shorter than the wait in the teller line. 
C) The wait in the ATM line is 50% higher than the wait in the teller line. 
D) The wait in the ATM line is 25% shorter than the teller line. 
A) There is no change. 
B) The wait in the ATM line is 50% shorter than the wait in the teller line. 
C) The wait in the ATM line is 50% higher than the wait in the teller line. 
D) The wait in the ATM line is 25% shorter than the teller line.

Question 7

It's a beautiful sunny day after a week of rainy weather and both of the local car washes are busy.One car wash is fully automated,touchless,and can wash a vehicle of any size to a dazzling luster in 5 minutes flat.The other car wash is a fund raiser staffed by eager amateurs that work on one car at a time and can finish it in about 4 minutes (their time is governed by the Poisson distribution).Customer arrivals at both car washes are Poisson distributed with a mean of 10 per hour.How long does it take the average customer to work his way through either system? How many customers are in the systems on average?

Accepted Answer

The automatic car wash has an arrival ra
