Question

bank wishing to increase its customer base advertises that it has the fastest service and that virtually all of its customers are served in less than 9 minutes. A management scientist has studied the service times and concluded that service times are exponentially distributed with a mean of 6 minutes. Determine what the bank means when it claims ‘virtually all’ its customers are served in under 9 minutes. Proportion of customers served in under 9 minutes

1. Answer:

0.7769” is the right approach. A further explanation is given below.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question,

The parameter for the exponential distribution,

μ = 6

x = 9

Now,

⇒  $$P(X < 9) = 1 – exp ( \frac{-x}{\mu} )$$

On substituting the given values in the above equation, we get

⇒                  $$= 1 – exp (\frac{-9}{6} )$$

⇒                  $$=1-exp(-1.5)$$

⇒                  $$=1-0.2231$$

⇒                  $$=0.7769$$
