Infinite capacity single server queue with general distributed arrivals and exponential service (GI/M/1)

Choose difficulty:

Beginner

Intermediate

Advanced

What is the primary advantage of using a general inter-arrival time distribution (GI) over a Poisson distribution in the GI/M/1 model?

a: GI allows for more accurate representation of real-world arrival patterns. Explanation

Explanation

b: Poisson distribution is computationally simpler. Explanation

Explanation

c: GI guarantees a higher system stability. Explanation

Explanation

d: Poisson distribution leads to shorter waiting times. Explanation

Explanation

In the GI/M/1 model, what effect does increasing the service rate have on the average waiting time?

a: It decreases. Explanation

Explanation

b: It remains constant. Explanation

Explanation

c: It increases. Explanation

Explanation

d: It depends on the arrival rate. Explanation

Explanation

What does the term 'M' represent in the GI/M/1 queueing system notation?

a: Mean service rate Explanation

Explanation

b: Markovian arrival process Explanation

Explanation

c: Maximum queue length Explanation

Explanation

d: Memoryless service time distribution Explanation

Explanation

How does the concept of 'first-come, first-served' (FCFS) scheduling apply in the GI/M/1 queueing system?

a: Customers are served based on their arrival times without any priority. Explanation

Explanation

b: Customers with higher priority are served first. Explanation

Explanation

c: Customers with shorter service requirements are served first. Explanation

Explanation

d: Service is allocated randomly to customers. Explanation
