Question 2

In a busy DMV office, a customer will have to wait in one line to complete the application (the first service stop), queue again to take the test, and finally go to a third counter to pay the applicable fee. In this case, it is a ________ system.

Accepted Answer

A multiphase system involves multiple stages or phases of service, which is exactly what is happening in this scenario with three different counter stops. The other options are not as applicable. M/M/1, M/M/S, and M/D/1 refer to specific queuing models that involve only one or two stages of service, and M/M/1 with finite population assumes there is a limit to the number of customers in the system, which may not be the case in a busy DMV.
