Definitions:

Poisson Arrivals

A statistical distribution that models the number of events occurring in a fixed interval of time or space, assuming independence among arrivals.

FIFO Discipline

First In, First Out Discipline is a queue management principle where the first item or task to arrive is the first to be processed or completed.

Normal Curve

A bell-shaped curve that represents the distribution of many types of data where most of the occurrences take place around the average.

M/M/1 Model

is a type of queueing model used in operations research to describe systems with a single server, where arrivals are determined by a Poisson process and service times have an exponential distribution.
