Poisson input with an average arrival rate of 5 jobs per Poisson input with an average arrival rate o5 jobs per
hour. If an 8-h day is used as a base, determine (i) The percentage idle time of the machines (ii) the average
time a job is in the system (iii) the average earning per day of the assistant.
