1. To support National Heart Week, the Heart Association plans to install a free blood pressure testing booth in Franklin Park Mall for the week. Previous experience indicates that, on average, 6 persons per hour request a test. Assume arrivals are Poisson distributed from an infinite population. Blood pressure measurements can be made at a constant time of 6 minutes each.
a) What should we expect to be the average number of people in line? (Please round your answer to 2 decimal places)
b) What should we expect to be the average number of people in the system? (Please round your answer to 2 decimal places)
c) What should we expect to be the average amount of time that a person will spend in line? (Please round your answer to 2 decimal places AND state the time in MINUTES!)
