Many of a banks customers use its automatic teller machine to transact business after normal
banking hours. During the early evening hours in the summer months, customers arrive at a certain
location at the rate of one every other minute. This can be modeled using a Poisson distribution.
Each customer spends an average of 100 seconds completing his or her transactions. Transaction
time is exponentially distributed.
a. Determine the average time customers spend at the machine, including waiting in line and
completing transactions.
Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest whole
number.
b. Determine the probability that a customer will not have to wait upon arriving at the automatic
teller machine.
Note: Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
c. Determine the average number of customers waiting to use the machine.
