Voting (i)- one server
In past presidential elections in the United States, very long wait times have been witnessed at precincts (voting stations) in states that ultimately decided the election (Florida in 2000 and Ohio in 2004). In NYC as well, some voters complained about the long lines in some precincts, with most complaints coming from precinct A.
In 2016, the average number of voters arriving at Precinct A was 40 per hour and the arrival of voters was random. NYC had deployed 1 voting machine in Precinct A. Suppose service times were also random and that each voter spent on average 1.2 minutes in the voting booth (this is the time needed to cast her/his vote using a voting machine). What is the average time a voter waits before he/she can go in the voting booth?
Assume CVa=CVp=1.
