Arrivals or inputs to a waiting-line system have characteristics that include

A waiting line meeting the M/M/1 assumptions has an arrival rate of 4 per hour and a service rate of 12 per hour.What is the average time a unit spends in the system and the average time a unit spends waiting?

A(n)________ occurs when an arrival refuses to enter a waiting line;a(n)________ occurs when an arrival joins a waiting line,then leaves it.

A waiting-line system that meets the assumptions of M/M/1 has λ = 1,μ = 4.For this system,the probability of fewer than two units in the system is approximately

The ________ probability distribution is a continuous probability distribution often used to describe the service time in a queuing system.

In an earlier chapter,you were introduced to a "traditional" view of costs and a "full cost" view of costs,with respect to a certain type of analysis.How might that lesson apply here? In particular,might operations managers pay more attention to some kinds of costs than others?

Four of the most widely used waiting line models-M/M/1 or A,M/M/S or B,M/D/1 or C,and Limited population or D-all share three characteristics,which are
