compare a multiple-server waiting line system with a shared queue to a multiple-server waiting line system with a dedicated queue for each server. suppose burger dome establishes two servers but arranges the restaurant layout so than an arriving customer must decide which servers queue to join. Assume that this system equally splits the customer arrivals so that each server sees half of the customers. how does this system compare with the two-server waiting line system with a shared queue? Compare the average number of customers waiting, average number of customers in the system, average waiting time, and average time in the system.
