-------------
Average arrival time is (1+6)/2 = 3.5 minutes
Average service time is 2*1min = 2 per minute
--------------
Question:
Do you have any formulas relating ave. arrival and ave. service?
---------
Comment: I could see doing this with a minute by minute chart but
there must be some formulas. Right!?
