Students arrive randomly at the help desk of the computer lab. There is only one service​ agent, and the time required for inqui

ry varies from student to student. Arrival rates have been found to follow the Poisson​ distribution, and the service times follow the negative exponential distribution. The average arrival rate is 12 students per​ hour, and the average service rate is 20 students per hour. On​ average, how long does it take to service each​ student?

Answer:

It takes on average 3 minutes to service each​ student.

Step-by-step explanation:

In queueing problem, an M/M/1 queue model is an arrangement with a single queue, where arrivals at the queue are approximated by a Poisson distribution with mean λ and the service times follows an exponential distribution with mean μ.  

The mean number of arrivals in this system is given by:  

\text{Avearge}=\frac{\rho}{1-\rho}  

Here the variable ρ is defined as:

 \rho=\frac{\lambda}{\mu}

From the average number of arrivals in the system, we can calculate the average number of arrivals in the queue by subtracting the average number of arrivals in service.

That is,

\text{Average arrivals in queue}=\frac{\rho}{1-\rho}-\rho=\frac{\rho^{2}}{1-\rho}  

The information provided is:

The average number of arrivals of customers is, λ = 12 students/hour.

The average service rate of a single server is, μ = 20 students/hour.

The average of an exponential distribution is:

E(X)=\frac{1}{\mu}

Compute the average time it takes to service one student as follows:

E(X)=\frac{1}{\mu}

         =\frac{1}{20}\\\\=0.05\ \text{hour}\\\\=3\ \text{minutes}

Thus, it takes on average 3 minutes to service each​ student.

A group of engineers is building a parabolic satellite dish whose shape will be formed by rotating the curve y=ax 2 about the y-
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

a = \frac{1}{2}. Surface Area = \frac{4}{3}ft^{2}. and area of the Dish = \frac{4}{3}ft^{2}+pi4^{2} = \frac{4}{3}ft^{2}+50.27=51.6ft^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

(1) Constant. y(x) = ax^{2} that is the curve that we need to rotate around the y axis to get the parabola with diameter of 8 feet and 2 meter depth that statement is translated in mathematics as x = -4 to 4 and y = 0 to 2.

y max = 2, x max = 4 setting up a equation with a unknown gives

2=a4 and  a = \frac{1}{2}.

so we have now.

y(x) = \frac{1}{2}x^{2} (Done with solving for a Constant).

(2) Surface Area.

Setting Up surface integral.

(i) range in x = 0 to 4.

(ii) range in y = 0 to 2.

integral is.

Integral(0-2)[{integral[(0-4)\frac{1}{32}x^{2}]}]dy

Evaluating this integral gives. \frac{4}{3}ft^{2}.

and area is surface area + area of the circle with 8ft diameter.

= \frac{4}{3}ft^{2}+pi4^{2} = \frac{4}{3}ft^{2}+50.27=51.6ft^{2}...

Note the Difference between area and aurface area.!
