e) An insurance company has three claims adjusters in its branch office. People with claims against company are found to arrive in a Poisson fashion, at an average rate of 20 per 8-hour day. The amount of time that an adjuster spends with a claimant is found to have and exponential distribution, with mean service time 40 minutes. Claimants are processed in order of their appearance.- How many hours a week can an adjuster expect to spend with claimants?
- How much time, on the average, does a claimant spend in the branch office? [5]
- When did the operations research originated and applied practically?
