Exhibit 13.1
The following questions are based on the output below.
A store currently operates its service system with 1 operator. Arrivals follow a Poisson distribution and service times are exponentially distributed. The following spreadsheet has been developed for the system. 
-To find steady-state values for the M/M/S queuing system, which of the following statements must be true about the arrival rate?
A) λ < s μ 
B) λ − s = μ 
C) λ > s μ 
D) λ = s μ

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

For a stable M/M/S queuing system, the arrival rate (λ) must be less than the service rate multiplied by the number of servers (sμ), ensuring that the system can handle the incoming traffic without growing infinitely.
