Answer:

the operating characteristics have been solved below

Step-by-step explanation:

we have an average of 10 minutes per customers

μ = mean service rate = 60/10 = 6 customers in one hr

the average number of customers that are waiting in line

mean arrival λ = 2.5

μ = 6

[tex]Lq = \frac{2.5^{2} }{6(6-2.5)} \\[/tex]

= 6.25/21

= 0.2976

we calculate the average number of customers that are in the system

[tex]L=Lq+\frac{2.5}{6}[/tex]

= 0.2976+0.4167

= 0.7143

we find the average time that a customer spends in waiting

[tex]Wq=\frac{0.2976}{2.5}[/tex]

= 0.1190 hours

when converted to minutes = 0.1190*60 = 7.1424 minutes

[tex]0.1190+\frac{1}{6}[/tex]

=0.2857

probability that arriving customers would wait for the service

= 2.5÷6 = 0.4167
