Question: Consider a three - node open Jackson Network as described below. The external ( Poisson process ) arrival rate at node 1 is 2 5

Consider a three
-
node open Jackson Network as described below. The external
(
Poisson process
)
arrival rate at node
1
is
2
5
per hour and there are no external arrivals to other nodes. There are two servers at each node. The mean
(
exponentially distributed
)
service time at node
1
is
3
minutes, at node
2
it is
2
minutes, and at node
3
it is
1
5
0
seconds. After completing the service at node
1
,
all the customers move to node
2
for service and then to node
3
for further service. After completing the service at node
3
,
the probability of return to the first node
0
.
3
0
and the probability of exiting the network is
0
.
7
0
.
If W1,W2,W3
are the expected waiting time at nodes 1,2,3, respectively, then which one of the following is correct? A.W1>W3>W2
B.W1>W2>W3
C.W2>W1>W3
D.W3>W2>W
