A deluxe, high-speed copier leases for $16 per hour, and it requires an average of three minutes to complete a copying job. Employees arrive at the copying machine at the rate of seven per hour (Poisson distributed), and an employee’s time is valued at $10 per hour. Determine which copier the college should lease.
