Reference no: EM131800023

A crew of mechanics at the Department of Transportation garage make minor repairs to snowplows during the winter. The snowplows break down at an average rate of 4 vehicles per day and breakdowns are distributed according to the Poisson distribution. The mechanic can service an average of 7 vehicles per day with a repair time distribution that approximates a negative exponential distribution. Assume an 8 hour day. What is the probability that a mechanic will be available immediately when a snowplow arrives for repair?
