(a) Planes arriving at an airport.

(g) Checkout operation in a supermarket.

(h) Parking lot operation.

Red = Server
Purple = Customer
(b) In each of the following cases, determine the average arrival rate per hour, λ,
and the average interarrival time in hours.
(i) One arrival occurs every 20 minutes.
1
Average arrival rate per hour = λ = 20/60 = 3 arrival per hour
Interarrival time in hours = 1/3 = 0,333 hours/arrival
(c) In each of the following cases, determine the average service rate per hour, µ,
and the average service time in hours.
*(i) One service is completed every 15 minutes.
1
Average service rate per hour = µ = 15/60 = 4 service per hour
Average service time in hours = ¼ = 0,25 hour/service

𝑃0 {8,644 + 0,316 ( )} = 1
7,5
1 − 20
P0 = 0,109
And thus,
P1 = 0,163
P2 = 0,245
P3 = 0,185
Pn>=7 = 1-(P0+P1+P2+P3+P4+P5+P6)
= 1 – ((1,5+2,25+1,697+1,266+0,633+0,316)(0,109)
= 0,165
Expeted number
of idle counters = 4p0 + 3(p1+p2) + 2(p3+p4) + 1(p5+p6) + 0(p7+p8+..)
= 2,409 counter
