Respuesta :

Answer:

c. 2, positive

Explanation:

Given :

Customers require service per hour = 9.5

Pooled queue service per hour = 7.5

Queue Growth Rate = Customers require service per hour - Pooled queue service per hour

9.5 - 7.5

= 2

Customers require service per hour > Pooled queue service per hour ; and Queue growth rate is > 0. So Queue growth rate is positive
