Independent of the arrival process

Reference no: EM131005863

Suppose that customers arrive to a system according to a Poisson process with rate λ. There are an in?nite number of servers in this system so a customer begins service upon arrival. The service times of the arrivals are independent exponential random variables with rate μ, and are independent of the arrival process. Customers depart the system when their service ends. Let N be the number of arrivals before the ?rst departure.

(a) Find P(N = 1).

(b) Find P(N = 2).

(d) Find the probability that the ?rst to arrive is the ?rst to depart.

(e) Find the expected time of the ?rst departure.

Events of a nonhomogeneous poisson process : Let T1, T2, ... denote the interarrival times of events of a nonhomogeneous Poisson process having intensity function λ(t).

Determine the economic service life of the sifter : The operating cost is expected to follow the series described by 40,000 + 10,000k, where k is the number of years since it was purchased (k = 1 through 7).

Determine the economic service life of the equipment : The salvage value of the equipment is expected to be $140,000 for the first 3 years, but due to obso- lescence, it won't have a significant value after that. At an interest rate of 10% per year, determine the economic service life of the equipment..

Independent of the arrival process : The service times of the arrivals are independent exponential random variables with rate μ, and are independent of the arrival process. Customers depart the system when their service ends. Let N be the number of arrivals before the ?rst departure.

Depend on the number : The policy of searching for a ?xed time is a static policy. Would a dynamic policy, which allows the decision as to whether to stop at each time t, depend on the number already found by t be bene?cial?
