In the basic queuing model (M/M/1), service times are described by
A) binomial probability distributions
B) negative exponential probability distributions
C) Poisson probability distributions
D) normal probability distributions
E) lognormal distributions

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Service times in the M/M/1 model are assumed to follow a negative exponential probability distribution. This assumption is a key feature of the model and allows for the use of various queueing metrics, such as average queue length and average waiting time, to be calculated analytically.
