(10pts) Consider an MM?1 queueing system that serves two types of customers: type 1 and type 2.
Customers of type i arrive according to a Poisson process with rate i,i=1,2(assume that these
two arrival processes are independent). The service times of all customers are i.i.d. with mean 1.
Assume that type 1 customers have absolute priority over type 2 customers. Absolute priority means
that when a type 2 customer is in service and a type 1 customer arrives, the type 2 service is interrupted
and the server proceeds with the type 1 customer (i.e., for type 1 customers, type 2 customers do not
exist). Once there are no more type 1 customers in the system, the server resumes the service of the
type 2 customer at the point where it was interrupted. Compute W2, the mean waiting time in system
of a type 2 customer (Hint: let Li,i=1,2, be the mean number of type i customers in system. First
compute L1, then compute L2, finally apply Little's law to obtain W2).
