There is also a lower arrival rate in such system and a higher loss rate.

Simulated user thinktimes and the arrival rate can be randomized via probability distribution.

We call this the arrival rate.

Now suppose the store is considering doing more advertising to raise the arrival rate to 20 per hour.

We know the arrival rate is 10 per hour, so customers must be spending 0.2 hours on average checking out.

Thus, it does not require knowledge of the arrival rates or the topology state probabilities .

A small population will significantly affect the effective arrival rate, because, as more jobs queue up, there are fewer left available to arrive into the system.

If the arrival rate is greater than or equal to the service rate , the queuing delay becomes infinite.

The arrival rate so far this month suggests that June's total will be even higher.

The assignment requires getting at such variables as arrival rates.
