Use the following scenario and data for all questions During lunch time, customers arrive at a postal office at a rate of per hour. The interarrival time of the arrival process can be approximated with an exponential distribution. Customers can be served by the postal office at a rate of per hour. The service time for the customers can also be approximated with an exponential distribution. For each of the following questions, show your work and use the right notation. Determine the utilization factor.
A) rho =4/5
B) rho =5/4
C) rho =2/3
D) rho=45-36=9
E) None of the above.
Determine the probability that the system is idle, i. e., no customer is waiting or being served.
A) rho_0= 4/5
B) rho_0= 5/4
C) rho_0=1/5
D) rho_0= 1/9
E) None of the above
Determine the probability that exactly one customer is in the system, i. e., no customer is waiting but one is served.
A) rho_1=1/9
B) rho_1=2/5
