Question 2: Mr. K’s is a very popular hair salon. It offers high-quality hairstyling and physical relaxation services at a reasonable price, so it always has unlimited demand. The service process includes five activities that are conducted in the sequence described next (the time required for each activity is shown in parentheses): ● Activity 1: Welcome a guest and offer homemade herb tea (13 minutes). ● Activity 2: Wash and condition hair (13 minutes). ● Activity 3: Neck, shoulder, and back stress-release massage (13 minutes). ● Activity 4: Design the hairstyle and do the hair (28 minutes). ● Activity 5: Check out the guest (12 minutes). Three servers (S1, S2, and S3) offer the services in a worker-paced line. The assignment of tasks to servers is the following: S1 does Activity 1, S2 does activities 2 and 3, and S3 does activities 4 and 5.

Question 4 Skyline pizza is a famous restaurant operating a number of outlets. The restaurant uses a toll-free telephone number to book pizzas at any of its outlets. If the clerk is occupied on one line, incoming phone callsto the restaurant are answered automatically by an answering machine and asked to wait. As soon as the clerk is free, the party that has waited the longest is transferred and answered first. Calls come in at a rate of about 15 per hour. The clerk is capable of taking an order in an average of 3minutes. Calls tend to follow a Poisson distribution, and service times tend to be exponential. The clerk is paid $20 per hour, but because of lost goodwill and sales, CWD loses about $50 per hour of customer time spent waiting for the clerk to take an order. Part A Answer the following questions: a. What is the probability that no customers are in the system (Po)? b. What is the average number of customers waiting for service ( Lq)? c. What is the average number of customers…

(Need all three parts) Question 4- A Starbucks shop decides to install an automatic coffee vending machine outside one of its stores to reduce the number of people standing in line inside. The cost of one coffee on the machine is 3.50$. The service time is a constant 3 minutes, and the arrival rate is 15 person per hour with a Poisson distribution.(You can use the Excel calculator to solve this question) 1- What is the average wait in line? 2- What is the average number of people in line? 3- Starbucks decides to increase the price to 5$ per cup and take 60 seconds off the service time. But this increase in the price reduce the arrival rate to 10 person per hour. Now, what is the average wait time and the average number of people in the line? For question 4, type the correct answer in front of each sub-question. Also, please copy an image of the excel file you answer the question.

QUESTION 1 (a) An art dealer's client is willing to buy the Sunflower painting at $50,000. The dealer can buy the painting today for $40,000 or can wait a day and buy the painting tomorrow (if it has not been sold) for $30,000. The dealer may also wait another day and buy the painting (if it is still available) for $26,000. At the end of the third day, the painting will no longer be available for sale. Each day, there is a 0.60 probability that the painting will be sold. Construct a decision tree and determine the strategy that will maximize the dealer's expected profit.
Question 1 Posh Nails Katie Posh runs an upscale nail salon. The service process includes five activities that are conducted in the sequence described below. (The time required for each activity is shown in parentheses): Activity 1: Welcome a guest. (1 minute) Activity 2: Clip and file nails. (3 minutes) Activity 3: Paint. (5 minutes) Activity 4: Dry. (10 minutes) Activity 5: Check out the customer. (4 minutes) Three servers (S1, S2, and S3) offer the services in a worker-paced line. The assignment of tasks to servers is the following: S1 does Activity 1. S2 does Activities 2 and 3. S3 does Activities 4 and 5. The drying process does not require server 3’s constant attention; she/he needs to only escort the customer to the salon’s drying chair (equipped with fans for drying). The time to do this is negligible. There exists only one drying chair in the salon. Which resource is the bottleneck of the process?
