A drive-through at a Fast Food serves 424 customers over a 10-hour day. On average, a customer spends 3 minutes waiting in line, 7 minutes placing the order, and 4 minutes completing the order before leaving the drive-through. How many customers on average are "in" the drive-through (i.e., from the time they enter to the time they exit the drive-through) on a typical day? (Specify your answer in two decimal points)

A new customer walks into SLC Barber Shop every 60 minutes on average, with a standard deviation of the interarrival times being 60 minutes. At SLC Barber Shop, the average service time is 30 minutes, with a standard deviation of service times being 45 minutes. What is the average number of customers in the barber shop including those that are waiting in line and those receiving service? What is the average number of customers in service?
In a queueing system, customers arrive once every 4 minutes (standard deviation = 7) and services take 3 minutes (standard deviation = 5.5). (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to three decimal places.) What is the average time a customer will spend in the queue (in minutes)? minutes
A local fast food restaurant wants to analyze its drive-thru window. At this time, the only information known is the average number of customers in the system (4.00) and the average time a customer spends at the restaurant (1.176 minutes). What is the arrival rate (λ) and the service rate (μ)? Group of answer choices Arrival rate = 4.25 customers/min. Service rate = 3.4 customers/min. Arrival rate = .29 customers/min. Service rate = .24 customers/min. Arrival rate = 3.4 customers/min. Service rate = 4.25 customers/min. Arrival rate = .24 customers/min. Service rate = .29 customers/min. None of the above answers are correct

Consider a bank with two tellers. An average of 2 customers per hour arrive at the bank and wait in a single línea for an idle teller. The average time it takes to serve a customer is triangular (x1=1, y1=0), (x2=4, y2=2/3) Assume that inter-arrival times and services time is exponential. Develop the service (ST) equation? a. Y=2x-22/6B. Y=2x-22/3C. Y=22/3x-2/3D. Y=2x-3/22
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 50 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 55 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)? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Average line length cars b. What is the average number of cars in the system (both in line and at the window)? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Average number of cars cars
