Problem 10-17 (Static) An office employs several clerks who create documents and has one operator who enters the document information in a computer system. The group creates documents at a rate of 25 per hour. The operator can enter the information with an average exponentially distributed time of two minutes. Assume the population is infinite, arrivals are Poisson, and queue length is infinite with FCFS discipline. a. Calculate the percentage utilization of the operator. Note: Round your answer to 1 decimal place. Utilization of the operator b. Calculate the average number of documents in the system. Average number of documents c. Calculate the average time in the system. Average time in the system % Probability minutes d. Calculate the probability of four or more documents being in the system. Note: Round your intermediate calculations to 3 decimal places and final answer to 1 decimal place.

Suppose the coal and steel industries form a closed economy. Every $1 produced by the coal industry requires $0.30 of coal and $0.70 of steel. Every $1 produced by steel requires $0.80 of coal and $0.20 of steel. Find the annual production (output) of coal and steel if the total annual production is $20 million.
If during the following year it is predicted that each comedy skit will generate 30 thousand and each musical number 20 thousand, find the maximum income for the year. A television program director must schedule comedy skits and musical numbers for prime-time variety shows. Each comedy skit requires 2 hours of rehearsal time, costs 3000, and brings in 20,000 from the shows sponsors. Each musical number requires 1 hour of rehearsal time, costs 6000, and generates 12,000. If 250 hours are available for rehearsal and 600,000 is budgeted for comedy and music, how many segments of each type should be produced to maximize income? Find the maximum income.

Consider the following queuing systems:System 1 An average of 40 customers arrive each hour; interarrival times are exponential. Customers must com-plete two types of service before leaving the system. The first server takes an average of 30 seconds (exponentiallydistributed) to perform type 1 service. After waiting in line, each customer obtains type 2 service (exponentially distrib-uted with a mean of 1 minute) from a single server. After completing type 2 service, a customer leaves the system.System 2 The arrival process for system 2 is identical to the interarrival process for system 1. In system 2, a cus-tomer must complete only one type of service. Service time averages 1.5 minutes and is exponentially distributed. Twoservers are available.In which system does a typical customer spend less time?
