Correct Answer - Option 4 : 3.2, 3.2
Concept:
The number of person in the queue (Lq) is given by
Lq = \(\frac {ρ ^2}{1\ -\ ρ}\)
\(ρ = { λ \over μ }\)
Where, λ = Arrival rate; μ = Service rate; ρ = Utilization of the server;
As this is single server M/M/1 system Lq will be same for FCFS and LCFS.
Calculation:
Given:
λ = 16 person/hr; μ = 1 person per 3 minutes = 20 person/hr;
\(ρ = { λ \over μ } = {16 \over 20}\)
ρ = 0.8
Lq = \(\frac {ρ ^2}{1\ -\ ρ} = \frac {0.8 ^2}{1\ -\ 0.8}\)
Lq = 3.2
Always convert person per minutes in per hour. Both λ and μ must be in per hour.
