Negative Exponential Distribution

A probability distribution used to model time between events in a Poisson process, often applied in reliability engineering and queuing theory.

Arrival Rates

The frequency at which entities arrive at a particular system or service point, commonly used in queueing theory and service process analysis.

Service Times

The duration required to complete a specific service task or process, critical in evaluating service efficiency and customer satisfaction.

Waiting-Line System

A mathematical model used to analyze lines or queues in order to minimize waiting times and improve service efficiency.
