a) Students returning to a secondary school have to pass through a check point at the rate of 50 per though. The average time for checking is 35 seconds. The arrival rate and service rate follow a Poisson distribution. There is a delay and the principal is willing to include another check point to reduce the average time of checking to 28 seconds if the idle time is less than 10% and the average queue length is more than 10 students, check whether the introduction of an extra check point is justifiable

Answer:

175

Explanation:

Average queue length = (arrival rate * service time) / (1 - arrival rate * service time)

For the given problem, the average queue length is:

Average queue length = (50 * 35) / (1 - 50 * 35)

= 175
