  1. Suppose a theme park roller coaster has a train with six carriages. Each carriage takes eight customers. Trains arrive to the loading point one every 30 seconds. However, each hour, on the hour, the roller coaster is shut for 3 minutes for a systems’ check. What is the capacity of the roller coaster? Suppose that customers arrive to the ride at a rate of 90 customers per minute and all customers wait for service. What is the roller coaster’s average utilization?

              Average utilization: ________
