Answer: (d) 15 customers / hour
Explanation: Arrival rate is defined as the number of customers arriving in a shop or in an outlet per unit of time. Mathematically,
Arrival rate = Number of customers / Time
In the given scenario, management estimates that customers will arrive at the rate of 15 per hour. Therefore,
Arrival rate = 15 customers / hour

A random sample of 64 customers at a drive-through bank window is observed, and it is found that the teller spends an average of 2.8 minutes with each customer, with a standard deviation of 1.2 minutes. Find a 93% confidence interval for the true mean time that this teller takes with her customers.
1) A fast-food franchise is considering opening a drive-up window food service operation. Assume that customer arrivals follow a Poisson distribution ( interarrival times follow an exponential distribution), with a mean arrival rate of 24 cars per hour, and that service times follow an exponential probability distribution. Arriving customers place orders at an intercom station at the back of the parking lot and then drive up to the service window to pay for and receive their order. The following four...
