How can we calculate the average number of customers entering the barber shop every minute?
Calculating the Average Number of Customers Entering the Barber Shop Every Minute
To calculate the average number of customers entering the barber shop every minute, we need to divide the average number of customers in the barber shop by the average time a customer spends in the shop.
Given that the average time a customer spends in the shop is 44 minutes (rounded to the nearest whole number) and the average number of customers in the shop is 7, we can calculate the average number of customers entering the shop every minute as follows:
Average Number of Customers Entering Per Minute = Average Number of Customers / Average Time Spent by Customer in Shop
Average Number of Customers Entering Per Minute = 7 customers / 44 minutes
Average Number of Customers Entering Per Minute ≈ 0.16
Therefore, on average, 0.16 customers enter the barber shop every minute.
