Question 1: During lunchtime, customers arrive at a postal office at a rate of =36 per hour. The interarrival time of the arrival process can be approximated with an exponential distribution. Customers can be served by the postal office at a rate of =45 per hour. The system has a single server. The service time for the customers can also be approximated with an exponential distribution.
Determine the utilization factor.
