Suppose that calls to this line occur at a rate of 60 per hour and follow a Poisson distribution.

Assume that 10 IRS workers are available and, when they are all busy, the phone system can keep 5 additional callers on hold. a. What is the probability that a caller receives a busy signal?b. What is the probability that a caller is put on hold before receiving service?c. On average, how long must a caller wait before speaking with an IRS agent?d.
