60 men could complete a piece of work in 250 days. They worked together for 200 days. After that the work had to be stopped for 10 day to bad weather. How many more men should be engaged to complete the work in time?
Consider an example from a maintenance shop. The inter-arrival times of tools at that shop are exponential with an average time of 10 minutes. The length of the service time is assumed to be exponentially distributed, with mean minutes. Estimate the fraction of the day that an operator will be idle.
