A suburban specialty restaurant has developed a single drive-thru window. Customers order, pay, and pick up their food at the same
window. Arrivals follow a Poisson distribution, while service times follow an exponential distribution. If the average number of arrivals is
6 per hour and the service rate is 2 every 15 minutes, then the average number of customers in the system is
