Scenario One: Automobiles arrive at the drive-through window of the Elm Street branch of the local bank at the rate of 1 every 12 minutes. The average service time is 7.5 minutes. The Poisson distribution is appropriate for the arrival rate and service times are exponentially distributed.

The table given below shows the workings of arrival rate and service rate times of local bank at Elm street branch
