Question: The registration area has just opened at a large convention of building contractors in Las Vegas. There are 2 0 0 people arriving per hour

The registration area has just opened at a large convention of building contractors in Las Vegas. There are 200 people arriving per hour (time between arrivals is exponentially distributed) and the cost of their time spent waiting in line and registering is valued at $100 per person per hour. The Las Vegas Convention Bureau provides workers to register guests at a cost of $15 per worker per hour. It takes on average one minute to register an attendee (exponentially distributed). A single waiting line with multiple workers will be set up. What is the optimal number of workers to staff the registration area?
