1. For each of the queuing systems, indicate whether it is a single- or multi-server model, the queuing discipline, and whether the calling population is infinite or finite. Most important, for each, explain why you chose your answer

a) Hair salon

b) Bank

c) Laundromat

d) Doctor's office

e) Urgent care

f) College advisor's office

g) Airport runway

h) Service station

(note: no exact answer for any of these; however, the key is the explanation)

2. Why do waiting lines form at a doctor's office occasionally for checking in even though enough service capacity is more than enough in the long run throughout the day?

3. Provide an example of when first-in-first-out (FIFO) rule for a queuing discipline would not be appropriate.

4. Use the Excel sheet in this Canvas tab to answer: What effect does changing the number of Workers (range 3 to 8) have on Total Cost and Penalties for the 1,000 iterations? After running your simulation, please graph your solution for workers 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. Also, will all student's answers match? Why or why not.
