Expected Number of Customers in Queue Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Expected Number of Customers in Queue = (Mean_Arrival_Rate^2)/(Mean_Service_Rate*(Mean_Service_Rate-Mean_Arrival_Rate))
L_q = (λ_a^2)/(μ*(μ-λ_a))
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Expected Number of Customers in Queue - The Expected Number of Customers in Queue is the number of customers that are waiting for their queue in the queuing system.
Mean_Arrival_Rate - Mean_Arrival_Rate is number of customers arriving per unit time.
Mean_Service_Rate - Mean_Service_Rate is the number of customers served per unit time.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Mean_Arrival_Rate: 1800 --> No Conversion Required
Mean_Service_Rate: 2000 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

L_q = (λ_a^2)/(μ*(μ-λ_a)) --> (1800^2)/(2000*(2000-1800))

Evaluating ... ...

L_q = 8.1

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

8.1 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

8.1 <-- Expected Number of Customers in Queue

What is expected number of customers in the queue?

The expected number of customers in the queue is the number of customers that are waiting for their queue in the queuing system. From the set of customers waiting for service, we choose the one to be served next either by FIFO (first-in-first-out) - also known as FCFS (first-come-first-served) or by LIFO (last-in-first-out) randomly. This is often called the queue discipline.

How to Calculate Expected Number of Customers in Queue?

Expected Number of Customers in Queue calculator uses Expected Number of Customers in Queue = (Mean_Arrival_Rate^2)/(Mean_Service_Rate*(Mean_Service_Rate-Mean_Arrival_Rate)) to calculate the Expected Number of Customers in Queue, The expected number of customers in queue is the number of customers that are waiting for their queue in the queuing system. Expected Number of Customers in Queue is denoted by L_q symbol.

How to calculate Expected Number of Customers in Queue using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Expected Number of Customers in Queue, enter Mean_Arrival_Rate (λ_a) & Mean_Service_Rate (μ) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Expected Number of Customers in Queue calculation can be explained with given input values -> 8.1 = (1800^2)/(2000*(2000-1800)).

FAQ

What is Expected Number of Customers in Queue?

The expected number of customers in queue is the number of customers that are waiting for their queue in the queuing system and is represented as L_q = (λ_a^2)/(μ*(μ-λ_a)) or Expected Number of Customers in Queue = (Mean_Arrival_Rate^2)/(Mean_Service_Rate*(Mean_Service_Rate-Mean_Arrival_Rate)). Mean_Arrival_Rate is number of customers arriving per unit time & Mean_Service_Rate is the number of customers served per unit time.
