1. With an average service rate of 15 customers per hour and an average customer arrival rate of 12 customers per hour, calculate the probability that actual service time will be less than or equal to five minutes.
2. Analyze the operating characteristics of a single-channel single-phase queuing system that can handle 10 customers per hour with customer arrival rate of six per hour. In addition, calculate the probability that there are more than three customers in the system.
3. NIA Motor is an e-scooter manufacturer that employs ten people at $15 per hour. Assume you were tasked to track productivity performance measures using the data shown in the following table:
