Question

Consider the baggage check-in process of a small airline. Check-in data indicate that from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m., 220 passengers checked in. Moreover, based on counting the number of passengers waiting in line, airport management found that the average number of passengers waiting for check-in was 27.?How long did the average passenger have to wait in line?

Answer 1

Answer:

The passengers have an average of 8.15 minutes to wait in line

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Little's law

Average Inventory = Average Flow Time * Average Flow Rate

Average Inventory = 220 passengers

Average Flow Rate = 27

Average Flow time =?

So,

220 = Average Flow Time * 27

Average Flow Time = 220/27

Average Flow Time = 8.14814814814

Average Flow Time = 8.15 --------- Approximated

So the average wait time for a passenger is 8.15 minutes
