(15 points): Consider (again) the complex function G: C+C defined by 8 +2 G(8) 32 +63 + 18 (a) By hand, draw a pole-zero map of G (i.e., in the complex plane, draw a "o" to indicate points where G evaluates to zero and an "x" to indicate points where the magnitude of G tends to infinity).

The problem is Customers arrive at a tool crib according to a Poisson process of rate $\lambda = 5$ per hour. There is a single tool crib employee, and the individual service times are exponentially distributed with a mean service time of 10 minutes. In the long run, what is the probability that two or more workers are at the tool crib being served or waiting to be served? It is given that $\lambda = 5$, and I believe that $\mu = 6$ customers per hour. Then, I think the answer is $$1-\frac{1}{6}-\frac{1}{6}\left(\frac{5}{6}\right)-\frac{1}{6}\left(\frac{5}{6}\right)^2 = \frac{125}{216}.$$ However, the answer in the back is $\frac{25}{36}$. I was wondering what I did wrong. Or is the answer in the back wrong? Thanks.
