Find a Doctor is a small startup that helps people find a physician who best meets their needs (location, insurance accepted, etc.). During a “slow” time for it, it has 8 staff members taking calls from customers. On average, one call arrives every 5 minutes (with a standard deviation of 5 minutes). Each staff member spends on average 18 minutes with each customer (with a standard deviation of 27.00 minutes). How long does one of their customers spend, on average, waiting on hold before he or she can start speaking to a representative?
Customer interarrival times at a store are exponentially distributed with rate 8 customers per hour. Customers are served by a single customer service representative (CSR), at a rate of 10 customers per hour. Service times are also exponentially distributed. Which of the following statements are true? O The probability of having exactly three customers in the store is 0.128. O None of the answers are correct. The store has customers waiting for a CSR 80.0% of the time. The average number of customers in the store is 3.2. O The average wait time for the CSR is 24 minutes.
Camile owns Crunch Code, a company that provides quick programming solutions. Clients send Crunch projects via its web page and Crunch bangs out the needed codeas quickly as possible. Camile has five programmers who do all of the coding. On average, a project arrives once every 4.8 hours. Each project is assigned to one programmer and that programmer takes, on average, 19.2 hours to complete each project. Camile wants to know what fraction of the time (as a percent) each of her programmers is busy coding?
