A radio station talk show solicits the listening public for comments on the in- eptness of government (I assume this will be a topical subject for the life of this book). Assume that each caller talks for a random length of time with an aver- age duration of 1 min. (Either the show is unpopular or the public has given up on the government.) How many incoming lines must the radio station have to keep the idle time below 5% if the call arrival rate is 3 calls/min?
