Beate Klingenberg manages a Poughkeepsie, New York, movie theater complex called Cinema 8. Each of the eight auditoriums plays a different film; the schedule staggers starting times to avoid the large crowds that would occur if all eight movies started at the same time. The theater has a single ticket booth and a cashier who can maintain an average service rate of 300 patrons per hour. Service times are assumed to follow a negative exponential distribution. Arrivals on a normally active day are Poisson distributed and average 210 per hour. To determine the efficiency of the current ticket operation, Beate wishes to examine several queue-operating characteristics.

a) The average number of moviegoers waiting in line to purchase a ticket = ___ customers (round your response to two decimal places).
