Customers enter the camera department of a store at the average rate of eight per hour. The department is staffed by one employee, who takes an average of 4.0 minutes to serve each arrival. Assume this is a simple Poisson arrival, exponentially distributed service time situation. Use Exhibit 10.9. c. What is the probability that there are more than two people in the camera department (excluding the clerk)? (Round your intermediate calculations to 3 decimal places and final answer to 1 decimal place.) Probability d. Another clerk has been hired for the camera department who also takes an average of 4 minutes to serve each arrival. How long would a customer expect to spend in the department now? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place. Use the closest value of Nu in Exhibit 10.9 when determining Lq (i.e., do not interpolate).)
