The number of Emergency Room visits has increased over the past several years in the United States. One possible reason for this increase may be that people tend to postpone routine health care. This could result in more visits to the Emergency Room. Of all patients who visit an Emergency Room, suppose 22% are seen in less than 15 minutes, 13% are admitted to the hospital, and 5% are seen in less than 15 minutes AND admitted to the hospital. Suppose a patient who made an Emergency Room visit is selected at random.
1) What is the probability that the patient was seen in less than 15 minutes OR admitted to the hospital?
2)What is the probability that the patient was seen in less than 15 minutes but not admitted to the hospital?
3)What is the probability that the patient was
neither seen in less than 15 minutes
nor admitted to the hospital?

Currently, 50 people per hour arrive at the ER, 10% of whom are admitted to the hospital. On average, 30 people are waiting to be registered and 40 are registered and waiting to see a...

Elm Street Medical Hospital has the largest emergency room in the city. Because approximately 85% of the emergency room visits in the city are handled by Elm Street Medical Hospital, the emergency room is often crowded and the staff work longer hours than advised. The hospital administrators and city officials are concerned about patient care and want to assess the level of service the emergency room is capable of providing its patients. Wait time, the time between when a patient...
