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
