Teletraffic engineering/Blocking/Answer1

We have first to find the busy-hour traffic. BHT = 167 Erlangs using Little's Rule.

According to Little's Rule: For the hour, the traffic in Erlangs = $$\frac{Number of calls * Mean Holding Time (seconds)}{3600}$$

Using the Erlang-B formula is cumbersome in this example because there are many circuits. An Erlang-B calculator is used instead. The Blocking Probability is found to be 0.021 (2.1%)
