The following questions refer to the information and output below

a)

The Kendall notation for a system is generally represented as (a/b/c):(d/e)

where,

a = arrival disrtibution

b = service time distribution

c = number of servers

d = Maximum number of customers allowed in system

e = queue discipline

The symbols change according to the given conditions of queue but the sequence remains same.

/ Arrival rate can have following distribution options, that is, a can be replaced by :-

M if the arrival rate/distribution is poisson distribution

or D if the arrival distribution is deterministic interval time

The Question has stated that arrival rate follows poisson distrubion,

Hence a is replaced by M...............................................................................(1)

/ Service rate can have following distribution options, that is, b can be replaced by :-

M if the service rate follows exponential distribution or service time distrubtion

or D if the service rate follows deterministic arrival rate

or E_k if the the service rate follows Erlang K distribution

or G for general independent service

The question has stated that service rate is exponential

Hence, b is replaced by M...........................................................................(2)

/ Number of servers can be one or multiple. Only these two options are available for c :-

1 if the number of servers is one

or S if the number of servers is multiple

Here, we have only one staff attending the students

Hence c is relpaed by 1................................................................................(3)

/ Number of maximum customers allowed can be finite or infinte, the symbols for d are:

 - if the maximum customers allowed is infinite

N - if the maximum customers allowed is finite

Here we can have infinite number of students coming in throught the life of computer lab,

Hence d is replaced by ..............................................................................(4)

/ the mode of sequencing can be either of following, that is e can be repalced by :-

FIFO - if the sequencing is first in first out basis

LIFO - if the sequencing is last in first out basis

SIRO - if the sequencing is in a interval of random order

GD - if the servicing is in general queue disciplin

Here, the helper services the help as soon as possible, which is first come first serve basis

Hence e is replaced by FIFO..............................................................................(5)

Combining (1),(2),(3),(4) and (5)

We have the Kendall Notation for the given sequence as (M / M / 1 ) : (  / FIFO)..........................(a)
