So we can serve 5 people at the time and there’s 60 minutes, so there is effectively 300 minutes of people being served happening. We need to find the probability that if we pick the first 50 people in line, the total time that they take is less than 300 minutes so that they can all be served within the hourView attachment 40123
this is using sample sum ^^ could someone explain this a bit to me cuz i can do it but i dont fully get it. like i can do the formulas but not the S = 5x60 and why we do that and set up Pr < 300 etc using the sample sum.
I haven't done any sample sum questions.
does that make cents?
