What is the practical benefit of knowing the conditional distribution?
What will be an ideal response?
If we find that the probability that customers are waiting in the regular line when the express line is empty is relatively large, we might permit some customers in the regular line to switch to the express line when it is empty. Conversely, if we learn that the probability that no customers are waiting in the regular line when the express line is busy is relatively large, we might then encourage express line customers to switch to the idle regular line. The idea here is to reduce the average waiting time of the customers.
