Average number of callers waiting to go on the air


A local radio call-in show has about 25 calls arrive each hour, and the radio host spends about 1.1 minutes per caller, exponentially distributed. Assume no commercials and callers are immediately taken on the air if there is one waiting; all other appropriate assumptions also hold. Also assume that there is an infinite line possible, that is, callers will not get a busy signal but will always be put into a line to go on the air.

a. What is the average number of callers waiting to go on the air?

b. What is the average time to wait before going on the air?

c. What is the utilization?
