Question

Consider an Erlang loss system. The average processing time is 3 minutes. The average inter-arrival time is 3 minutes. The number of servers is 3. What is r (sometimes referred to as the offered load)

Answer 1

Answer:

r = 1

Explanation:

Average processing time ( p ) = 3 minutes

Average inter-arrival time ( a ) = 3 minutes

number of servers ( m ) = 3

Determine the value of r

r ( offered load ) = p/a

                          = 3 / 3  = 1

∴ value of r ( offered load ) = 1
