Answer 1

Answer:

2) Throughput: # of processes that are completed per time unit.3) Turnaround time: the time of completion - the time of submission4) Waiting time: the amount of time that a process spends waiting in the readyqueue during turnaround time5) Response time: the time from the submission of a request until the first responseis produced.• Generally, we try to maximize the averages of 1) and 2) and minimize theaverages of other ones.• To guarantee that all users get good service, we try to minimize the maximumresponse time.• In time-sharing (multi-tasking) systems, we try to minimize the variance in theresponse time
