The waiting time until a customer is served at a fast food
restaurant during lunch hours has a skewed distribution with a mean
of 2.4 minutes and a standard deviation of 0.4 minute. Suppose that
a random sample of 44 waiting times will be taken. Compute the
probability that the mean waiting time for the sample will be
longer than 2.5 minutes.
Answer: (Round to 4 decimal places.)
the PDF of normal distribution is = 1/σ * √2π * e ^ -(x-u)^2/
2σ^2
standard normal distribution is a normal distribution with a,
mean of 0,
standard deviation of 1
equation of the normal curve is ( Z )= x - u / sd/sqrt(n) ~
N(0,1)
mean of the sampling distribution ( x ) = 2.4
standard Deviation ( sd )= 0.4/ Sqrt ( 44 ) =0.0603
sample size (n) = 44
the probability that the mean waiting time for the sample will
be longer than 2.5 minutes
P(X > 2.5) = (2.5-2.4)/0.4/ Sqrt ( 44 )
= 0.1/0.06= 1.6583
= P ( Z >1.6583) From Standard Normal Table
= 0.0486

27) A fast food restaurant wants to know about how long, on average, a customer spends waiting in a drive-thru from the time their order ends to the time that they get their food. To investigate this, the restaurant takes a random sample of 36 cars and finds that it takes an average of 2.4 minutes. Suppose the restaurant knows that drive-thru times have a population standard deviation of 7 minutes. Calculate a 95% Confidence Interval for drive-thru times: (5...

The Burger Dome waiting line model studies the waiting time of customers at its fast-food restaurant. Burger Dome's single-server waiting line system has an arrival rate of 0.75 customers per minute and a service rate of 1 customer per minute. Adapt the Black Sheep Scarves spreadsheet shown below to simulate the operation of this waiting line. Make sure to use the random values for both interarrival and service times generated in the worksheet_12-23. Assuming that customer arrivals follow a Poisson...

Jim McDonald, manager of the fast-food hamburger restaurant McBurger, realizes that providing fast service is a key to the success of the restaurant. Customers who have to wait very long are likely to go to one of the other fast-food restaurants in town next time. He estimates that each minute a customer has to wait in line before completing service costs him an average of 30 cents in lost future business. Therefore, he wants to be sure that enough cash...
