  1. Suppose that no data has been recorded on the time that it takes for a provider to see a patient in a particular clinic, but it has been estimated that the minimum amount of time is 10 minutes, the maximum amount of time is 50 minutes, and the most likely times is about 25 minutes.
    1. What probability distribution would you use to model the time that it takes this provider to see a patient in this clinic?
    2. What is the probability that the provider will spend more than 30 minutes with a patient?
    3. Assume that you used an Exponential distribution instead of that used in part a, what is the probability that the provider will spend more than 30 minutes with a patient?

Answer #1

(a) We will be using a continuous uniform distribution to model the time that it takes this provider to see a patient in this clinic. The parameters will be: a (lower limit) = 10 and b (upper limit) = 50.

Doctors at a particular clinic never see a patient on time. The amount of time (in minutes) past the appointment time that a patient must wait to see a doctor has an exponential distribution with λ = .027. a) What is the variance of the amount of time the patient will have to wait beyond the appointment time? b) Compute the probability that the doctor will see the patient less than 40 minutes after the appointment time?

Old Billie and her son Hadey are arguing about how much time their fellow goats spend listening to music each day. Old Billie contends that the goats spend between 0 and 80 minutes each day listening to music, and she insists that no range of times is ay more likely than any other. Hadey argues that it doesn't make sense to believe that goats are just as likely to spend more time than two hours listening to music as they...

John, James, and Jonathan is a dental clinic serving the needs of the general public on a first-come, first served basis. The clinic has three dental chairs, each staffed by a dentist. Patients arrive at the rate of five per hour, according to a Poisson distribution, and do not balk or renege. The average time required for a dental check-up is 30 minutes, according to an exponential distribution. What is the probability that no patients are in the clinic? What...

Moore, Aiken, and Payne is a critical-care dental clinic serving the emergency needs of the general public on a first-come, first-served basis. The clinic has four dental chairs, three of which are currently staffed by a dentist. Patients in distress arrive at the rate of five per hour, according to a Poisson distribution, and do not balk or renege. The average time required for an emergency treatment is 30 minutes, and has an exponential distribution. a. What is the probability...
