Burrito King (a new fast-food franchise opening up nationwide) has successfully automated burrito production for its drive-up fast-food establishments. The Burro-Master 9000 requires a constant 45 seconds to produce a batch of burritos. It has been estimated that customers will arrive at the drive-up window according to a Poisson distribution at an average of one every 52 seconds. To help determine the amount of space needed for the line at the drive-up window, answer the following questions. a. What is the average waiting line length (in cars)? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) b. What is the average number of cars in the system (both in line and at the window)? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) c. What is the expected average time in the system, in minutes? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
