Question: ****MY ONLY QUESTION IS WHAT DO I PUT INTO EXCEL FOR NUMBER OF CHANNELS, ARRIVAL RATE, AND SERVICE RATE FOR EACH CHANNEL (7B, 8B, 9B).
****MY ONLY QUESTION IS WHAT DO I PUT INTO EXCEL FOR NUMBER OF CHANNELS, ARRIVAL RATE, AND SERVICE RATE FOR EACH CHANNEL (7B, 8B, 9B).
Assume that for a gas and car wash station one car can be serviced at a time. The arrivals follow a Poisson probability distribution, with an arrival rate of 1 car every 10 minutes and the service times follow an exponential probability distribution, with a service rate of 8 cars per hour.
- What is the probability that the station will be idle?
- What is the average number of cars that will be waiting for service?
- What is the average time a car will be waiting for service?
- What is the average time a car will be at the gas and wash station?
