Busybodies
Recently can feel the stress from this sem.. heading the technical comm coordination , and participate in EID, and all the tutorials and quizzes.. leave me quite breathless.. and also the monotonous sch life nowadays r driving me bored.. hmmm.. the term break is coming, yet i see not much joy .. cos got 3 projects on hold then. sianz. what can be worse then rushing for time?
Anyway, chanced upon this article which comes out with an equation of waiting. Let c= no of checkouts, and people r being served p times faster then they arrive, the length of the queue ,L, will be as follows:
L(C) = p^(c+1)/[(c-1)!(c-p)^2] * 1/[(Sum(n=0 to c-1 of (p^n/n!))+(p^c/c!*c/(c-p)))]
interesting sia. even queueing up is such a chore..
The article mentioned one fact: women's queue for washroom is twice as slow as men's, thus their queue length will be 5 times longer. Hmm. is it?
Anyway, a lot of things in mind, but cant possibly type out all.. interesting theories.. yup, need to hit the sack and do the business... SLEEPING of cos.
