Question: Problem 7 - 1 9 ( Algo ) A cafeteria serving line has a coffee urn from which customers serve themselves. Arrivals at the urn

Problem 7-19(Algo)
A cafeteria serving line has a coffee urn from which customers serve themselves. Arrivals at the urn follow a Poisson distribution at the rate of 2.0 per minute. In serving themselves, customers take about 26 seconds, exponentially distributed. If the cafeteria installs an automatic vendor that dispenses a cup of coffee at a constant time of 26 seconds, how long would you expect it to take (in minutes) to get a cup of coffee, including waiting time?
Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
