Poultry Processing processes chickens for fast food restaurants. The Majestic chickens arrive from the farms on trucks, in cages, at a rate of 8 trucks per hour according to the Poisson distribution
The quality standards of Poultry Processing require that the chickens be processed within 30 minutes, which includes the time from when the trucks arrive until the chickens are finished processing. Determine the maximum average processing rate (in truckloads per hour) that must be designed for the machine, in order to ensure that the cages will be processed, on the average, in 30 minutes or less. Assume processing time is exponentially distributed.
Answer: μ = 10 trucks per hour
