Show transcribed image text A single processor has processing times coming from a NORM(30, 5) distribution where time units are minutes, items arrive with EXPO(40) minutes between arrivals. Every arrival is processed. a. What is the expected utilization of the server? b. Will the expected utilization change if we change queue discipline from FIFO to something else such as LIFO or shortest processing time? why? c. If the resource is subject to failures with up times that are NORM(200, 50) and down times that are NORM(40, 5) and the resource failure operating in PREEMPT mode, will the queue be explosive? why? The modeling of the number of passengers on an aircraft in problem 5-11 required that we Initialize the limit on number of arrivals to a variable having a positive number and then we change that variable to have a value from the UNIF(250, 360) distribution after the simulation begins. Explain why this approach In modeling the limit on arrivals was necessary rather than to just place UNIF(240, 350) in the CREATE module's Limit on Arrivals window.
