The service rate would then be 2.4 trucks per hour. Assume rates are Poisson. Use Table 1 and Table 2. 10 a. Would the third crew member be economical? (Round your intermediate and final answer to 2 decimal places.) Yes > Answer is complete but not entirely correct. because, the total cost is $ 96.00 X b. Would a fourth member be justifiable if the resulting service capacity were 3 trucks per hour? (Round your intermediate and final answer to 2 decimal places.) Yes Answer is complete but not entirely correct. because, the total cost is $ 99.43 X

Ls b.lf a truck was just arriving at the station, about how many minutes could the driver expect to at the station? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Ws 4.284 trucks Pw 0.20 min. c. What is the probability that both inspectors would be busy at the same time?(Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)

d. How many minutes, on average, would a truck that is not immediately inspected have to wait? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) W₂ min. f. What is the maximum line length for a probability of .92? (Round up your answer to the next whole number.) L max
