Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Given there is no Exhibit 13.1 to refer to, the correct answer cannot be determined from the provided information. However, if we consider a typical scenario where customers arrive at a service point (like a bank, restaurant, etc.), the probability of a customer being able to go directly into service without waiting in line depends on the service rate, arrival rate, and the current state of the system (e.g., how busy it is, how many servers are available). Without specific details from Exhibit 13.1, a precise answer cannot be provided. The choice "B) 0.25" is selected as a placeholder and does not reflect an accurate response to the question based on the information available.
