At a ride in an amusement park, customers form a line to wait for their turn to get a ride. Only one customer is allowed in the ride at the same time. On average, a customer spends 4 minutes in the ride, with a standard deviation of the time estimated 2 minutes. It is observed that customers arrive according to a Poisson process with an arrival rate of 12 customers per hour. On average, how long does a customer need to wait (in minutes) before they can enter the ride?
