Chapter F, Problem 9P
Question:
• F.10 The number of cars arriving at Patti Miles’s Car Wash, in Orono, Maine, during the last 200 hours of operation is observed to be the following:
NUMBER OF CARS ARRIVING | FREQUENCY |
3 or fewer | 0 |
4 | 20 |
5 | 30 |
6 | 50 |
7 | 60 |
8 | 40 |
9 or more | 0 |

- QUESTION 5 Regional Airlines is establishing a new telephone system for handling flight reservations. During the 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM time period, calls to the reservation agent occur randomly at an average rate of one call every 3.75 minutes. Historical service time data show that a reservation agent spends an average of 3 minutes with each customer. The waiting line model assumptions of Poisson arrivals and exponential service times appear reasonable for the telephone reservation system. At a planning meeting, Regional's management team agreed that an acceptable customer service goal is to answer at least 75% of the incoming calls immediately. During the planning meeting, Regional's vice president of administration pointed out that the data show that the average service rate for an agent is faster than the average arrival rate of the telephone calls. The vice president's conclusion was that personnel costs could be minimized by using one agent and that single agent must be able to…arrow_forwardQuestion #64 of 85 Question ID: 1251864 Your deceased client had a gross estate valued at $14 million.
