Using the formulas developed for the single-server model with finite calling population, given the

following:

Λ = 0.02 per hr

µ = 0.4

N = 15

Determine the average time a customer spends in the total queuing system (W).

Group of answer choices

5.97 hr

3.47 min

5.97 min

3.47 hr

To determine the average time a customer spends in the total queuing system (W) for the given scenario,
we can use the queuing theory formula for the average time in the system, denoted as W:

W = Wq + (1 / µ)

Where Wq is the average waiting time in the queue, and µ is the service rate.

In this case:
Λ = 0.02 per hour

µ = 0.4

To calculate the average waiting time in the queue (Wq), we can use the queuing theory formula for the
average waiting time in the queue, denoted as Wq:

Wq = (λ / (µ * (µ - λ))) * (1 – (N / (N – λ)))

Where N is the total number of customers in the system.

In this case:

N = 15

Now we can calculate Wq:

Wq = (0.02 / (0.4 * (0.4 – 0.02))) * (1 – (15 / (15 – 0.02)))

Simplifying the equation, we find:

Wq ≈ 3.47 minutes

Now we can calculate W:

W = Wq + (1 / µ) = 3.47 minutes + (1 / 0.4) hours = 3.47 minutes + 2.5 hours ≈ 2.5 hours 3.47 minutes

Therefore, the average time a customer spends in the total queuing system (W) is approximately 2.5
hours and 3.47 minutes.

The closest answer choice from the given options is 2.5 hours 3.47 minutes.
