Guest Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 If 'n' people are going to buy tickets in a ticket shop that is open for 'n' minutes, how long will the maximum queue time be, given that they arrive randomly within the time scope? haha, not now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 (edited) that depends on how quickly they are served. the maximum could be potentially as high as n if it's fairly slow, or be as low as 1 if its fairly fast.

0 Guest Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 Using the phrase "'n' people when store is open for 'n' minutes" creates a problem. An equation cannot work, for the most part, without numbers. For example, with only one variable N, the only way for them to be equal is for the number being multiplied by N to be equal. Therefore there is a wide range of answers to the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
