Assume that you are measuring delay in your final project, and you would like to plot the dependence of the delay on the arrival rate into your system. You select the following arrival rates: 1/min; 1.5/min; 2/min; 2.5/min; 3/min. The delay results you get are 2.31 min; 3.98 min; 2.7 min; 3.24min; 5min. Is the resulting delay curve valid on its face? Explain your answer.

Solution

The curve is

There are no unusual data points, the R^2 value is 47.73%. Therefore the delay curve is valid.
