Document Summary

Chapter d waiting lines: arrival rate, characteristics, size of the population. Unlimited (infinite) or limited (finite: pattern of arrivals. Scheduled or random, often a poisson distribution: behavior of arrivals. Wait in the queue and do not switch lines. No balking or reneging: service rate. 3 models: single (always open as a multi sheet, multi (always open as a multi sheet, constant, must say constant in the problem. More info: time- has to be in a per rate- same time unit of measurement, probability table- set up =<> (1-less than column, changing a per rate into time- multiply, changing time into rate- divide. = mean number of arrivals per time period.
