Pls answer!!!!!! Company ABC wants to hire seasonal workers to answer phone calls. Suppose that calls to the phone center occur at a rate of 60 per hour and follow a Poisson distribution and each staff can answer an average of 5 calls per hour that follows exponential distribution. Right now, 10 workers are working at the phone center and when all the lines are busy, the phone system can keep 5 additional calls on hold. What is the queuing...

2. A radio station wants to control the time allotted to unpaid public service commercials. If there are too many such commercials, the station loses revenue; if there are too few, the station loses points with the Federal Communications Commission. The target figure is 1.2 commercial minutes per hour. Data on the minutes spent by the radio station on unpaid public service commercials were collected for a random sample of 24 hours of broadcasting. The results show a sample mean...
