Concept explainers
a.
Interpretation: The expected numbers of jobs which are in queue with steady status along with number of jobs in the system have to be computed.
Concept Introduction:
FCFS basis- Normally, there is a process in attending the jobs or, customers. FCFS basis means attending a job or customer on First come first serve basis. In other words, the job/customer which/who comes first is attended first.
B.
Interpretation: The expected flow time along with the time spent in a queue with steady status have to be computed.
Concept Introduction:
Flow time: The time spent in a business process right from beginning to end is called the flow time. It is also called total processing time.
C.
Interpretation: The probability about the system being empty needs to be computed.
Concept Introduction:
Probability: Probability is the chance of an event occurring. Number of favorable outcomes must be divided by total number of possible outcomes to get the probability factor.
D.
Interpretation: The probability about the queue being empty needs to be computed.
Concept Introduction:
Probability: Probability is the chance of an event occurring. Number of favorable outcomes must be divided by total number of possible outcomes to get the probability factor.
e.
Interpretation: The probability about the flow time exceeding 10 minutes needs to be computed.
Concept Introduction:
Probability: Probability is the chance of an event occurring. Number of favorable outcomes must be divided by total number of possible outcomes to get the probability factor.
