An M/M/4 system has an arrival rate of 15 customers per hour. Each server has a service rate of 7 customers per hour. What is the utilization factor for this system? (Round your answer to 3 decimal place.) If all servers are kept busy, how many services will be completed per hour? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
