Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The typical operating characteristic for the probability an arriving unit has to wait for service is given by P_w, which represents the probability of an arriving unit waiting for service (w) in buffer 1 (B1), with a server (S1) being busy and another unit arriving (U1) before it is served, given that buffer 0 (B0) is empty (no waiting units).
