Transcribed Image Text:Problem 7-18 (Static)
To support National Heart Week, the Heart Association plans to install a free blood pressure testing booth in El Con Mall for the week.
Previous experience indicates that, on average, 10 persons per hour request a test. Assume arivals are Poisson distributed from an
infinite population. Blood pressure measurements can be made at a constant time of five minutes each. Assume the queue length can
be infinite with the FCFS discipline.
a. What average number in line can be expected? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
Average number expected
people
b. What average number of persons can be expected to be in the system? (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round your
answer to 3 decimal places.)
Average number of persons
persons
c. What is the average amount of time that a person can expect to spend in line? (Do not round your intermediate calculations.
Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)
Average amount of time
hours
d. On average, how much time will it take to measure a person's blood pressure, including their waiting time? (Do not round your
intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)
Time taken
hours
