Persons arriving at a Caribbean rail ticket office during the morning peak commuter period frequently
have to wait for service. There is one clerk who issues tickets and provides an information service for
passengers. The Boss has received complaints regarding the time passengers spend in the queue waiting
to be served, and she wishes to investigate possible methods of reducing the queueing time. Possible
ideas include employing a second ticket clerk who could either share the work of the existing clerk or
perhaps handle enquiries only. Another idea may be to collect fares on the train. The manager decided
to collect data on arrivals and service times over a number of days, and her figures are summarized
