1. A single-server queuing system with an infinite calling population and a first-come, firstserved queue discipline has the following arrival and service rates:

λ = 36 customers per hour

µ = 50 customers per hour

Determine P0, P4, L, Lq, W, Wq, and U.

2. An immigration agent at an airport, on an average, could process 15 entrants in one hour, if he was busy all the time. On an average, an entrant arrives at his station at every 5 minutes. The agent can be replaced by a more efficient specialist. The specialist can process 20 entrants in one hour. The specialist is paid $35 per hour whereas the current agent is paid $22 per hour. If an entrant's time is considered to be worth $10 per hour, is it worth to replace the agent with the specialist?

Note: Do hand calculations to answer this question.

3. A grocery store has four check-out counters. The average service rate for each check-out counter is 22 customers per hour. The average arrival rate is 82 customers per hour. Assuming it is a multiple-server waiting line model; determine the average number of customers waiting for a check-out counter and the average time a customer must wait for a check-out counter. What is the probability that there will be more than 4 customers in the system?
