Version 1
@ Explain the following concepts Balking, Reneging, Priorities, and Jockeying in queueing
theory ‘ .
There are many real-life situations in which the study of queuing theory could provide
solutions to waiting-line problems. In five of such situations, provide your anwser in a
tabular form (Hint: Situation, Customers end Service Facilities). "
(i) Briefly list and explain the characteristics of the queuing system (iv) Distitguish between
transient state and steady state,
(¥) What is traffic intensity? If traffic intensity is 0.30, what is the percentage of time a system
temains idle?

‘Question 2
A warehouse has only one loading dock manned by a three-person crew. Trucks arrive at the loading
docket an average rate of 4 trucks per hour and the arrival rate js Poisson distribution. The loading of a
truck takes 10 minutes Gnan average and: assumed to be exponentially distributed. The operating
cost of a truck is N20 per hour and the mempers of the loading cfew are paid N6 each per hour. Would
you advise the truck owner to add another crew of three persons?
Vorvestion 3 + yy .
Ina railway marshaling yard, goods trains arrive at the rate 30 trains per day, Assuming tifat the inter-
arrival time follows an exponential distribution and the service time (the time taken to trump a train)
distribution is also exy jal with an average of 36 minutes. Calculate (a) the expected queue size
(ne length); (b) the Probability that the queue size exceed 10, )
‘Ifthe input of trains increases to an average of 33 per day, what will be the change in (a) and (by?
4 Question 4
A petrol station has two pumps, The service time fellows an exponential distribution with « mean of 4
minutes and cars arrive for service in a Poisson process at arate of 10 cars per hour. Find the
probability that a customer has to wait for service. What proportion of time do the pumps remain idle?
Question §
A bank has two tellers working on the savings accounts. The first teller only handles withdrawals. The
second teller only handles deposits. It has been found that the service time for'the deposits and
withdrawals, both, are exponentials with mean service time of 3 minutes per customer. Depsitors are
found to arrive at Poisson fashion thrbughout the day with a mean arrival of 16 per hour. Withdrawals
also arrive ia a’Poisson fashion with a mean of 14 per hour. What would be the effect on the average
waiting me for depositors and withdrawals if each teller could handle both the withdrawals and
eros oo would be the effect if this could only be accomplished by increasing the service time to
5 minutes
