Essay

The computer help desk at Averill University receives an average of 40 calls per hour and calls come in according to a Poisson distribution. The average time a technician takes to diagnose a problem is three minutes and twenty seconds, and the service time follows an exponential distribution. For 60% of the callers the diagnosis is satisfactory, but for 40% of the callers, the technician must transfer the call to a specialist. The time a
caller speaks to a specialist follows an exponential distribution
with a mean of five minutes. For ninety five percent of callers
transferred to a specialist, the problem is solved, but five percent
of callers will need an on-site visit from a service technician.
The average time a technician takes to fix a computer on-site is
forty minutes with a standard deviation of ten minutes.

The help desk operation has three technicians answering the incoming
calls, two specialists handling calls, and one on-site technician.
If a caller needs to have on-site service, determine the average
time it will take to have the service completed form the time the
initial call is made.
