Innovative action by Airtel mobile

I was having my lunch in our office cafeteria when I noticed that a corner in the cafeteria was drawing attention. I joined the group of curious 'peers' to have a look at what was taking ppl's mind off junk that is passed off as 'food' in our cafeteria.
Airtel had put up a free mobile charging station. The charging station had a charger for every popoular handset... Nokia, Sony-Ericcsson, Samsung, Siemens, Philips et al. I thought that this was a creative way to capture people's attention. All of us have had problems with our mobile's battery level at office some time or the other. This charging station will turn out to be tres useful.

Wow! that soundz cool. It is really a pain when your charge goes down in office and you are left stranded. Just to make sure I am always charged up, I have two chargers!

So what is the mean waiting time for the queue for these chargers?

There is a lot of standard deviation calcuation that needs to be done for getting the mean charging time. The parameters are the type of mobile, cost, and the grade the employees are. Heard Sai is writing a java program to calculate the same! ;)

Sai, don't forget to include queuing theories into your program. Contact Srini for doubts in Java.
