A retail shop experiences stable demand all afternoon on


A retail shop experiences stable demand all afternoon on Saturdays. During this period the shop has 3 open cash registers located in a unique check-out area, each requiring an average of 4 minutes to serve a customer. This activity time is subject to unpredictable variability however, and specifically has a coefficient of variation of 0.8. On average a customer arrives to the check-out area every two 2 minutes, but this inter-arrival time is also subject to unpredictable variability with a coefficient of variation equal to 1.

In the case of separate dedicated waiting lines, what is the average number of customers waiting in each queue?
