Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Kendall notation M/M/3 signifies Poisson arrivals with a mean arrival rate of λ, exponential service time with a mean service rate of μ, and 3 servers. Option B is incorrect as it signifies a general distribution service time while exponential service time is given. Option C is incorrect as both arrivals and service times have to be Poisson/exponential in order to use the notation M/M/3. Option D is incorrect as it signifies general distribution service time while exponential service time is given.
