The service times fonythese first five voters (in order) are eight minutes, six minutes, two minutes, four minutes, and seven minutes. (1) Explain why this is a queuing system. Identify the customer, server, and queuing process. (2) Show the evolution of customers (similar to lecture session's Herr Cutter example). (3) Show the evolution over with 2 voting booths (4)-(5) What is your analysis and recommendation regarding the installation of 2 voting booths instead of just 1 voting booth?Explanation / Answer
Queuing system- This is queuing system because there are voters who are coming at voting booth and vote. It means they are arriving and waiting till the whole process of touch screen voting ends. In this case Voter is the customer and Server is the touch screen computer. In the process 5 voters came after the booth opened. First one came after 5 minutes of opening the booth and then 2nd voter came after 3 mnutes, 3rd after 9 minutes, 4th after 1 minute and the 5th after 4 minutes. The service time for all 5 voters was 8, 6, 2, 4, 7 minutes.
