At Six Flаgs Entertаinment Cоrpоrаtiоn, a team of ride mechanics repairs broken park attractions. Historical data show that ride breakdowns occur at an average rate of 2 attractions per day (following a Poisson distribution). The current maintenance team can service an average of 3 attractions per day, and repair times follow an exponential distribution. The current cost of maintaining the repair team is $600 per day, while the park estimates that lost revenue from an out-of-service roller coaster is $2,000 per coaster per day (or any portion thereof). Given only the information above, how would we expect the total costs to change if Six Flags hired a second repair team?
