Without an appointment, the average waiting time in minutes at the doctor's office has the probability density function f(t)=1/38, where 0≤t≤38
Step 1 of 2:
What is the probability that you will wait at least 26 minutes? Enter your answer as an exact expression or rounded to 3 decimal places.
Step 2 of 2:
What is the average waiting time?
here for uniform distribution parameter a =0 and b=38 |
1)
probability = | P(X>26)= | 1-P(X<26)= | 1-(26-0)/(38-0)= | 0.316 |
2)
mean μ = | (a+b)/2 = | 19 |

A HMO researcher wants to test the claim that the waiting time for a doctor's appointment is less than two weeks. To this end, he modeled 25 HMO members who booked an appointment with a family doctor in the past month and found that the average waiting time for an appointment with a family doctor was 6 days, and the standard deviation is 8.11 days. Assume that the waiting time is distributed normally. *Is the researcher's claim correct at a...
Suppose that the average waiting time for a patient at a physician's office is just over 29 minutes. In order to address the issue of long patient wait times, some physicians' offices are using wait-tracking systems to notify patients of expected wait times. Patients can adjust their arrival times based on this information and spend less time in waiting rooms. The following data show wait times (minutes) for a sample of patients at offices that do not have a wait-tracking...

doctor's office staff studied the waiting times for patients who arrive at the office with a request for emergency service. The following data with waiting times in minutes were collected over a one-month period. 4 5 10 14 3 5 3 18 11 6 8 8 15 23 8 8 7 12 17 2 Fill in the frequency (to the nearest whole number) and the relative frequency (2 decimals) values below.

The amount of time that you have to wait before seeing the doctor in the doctor's office is normally distributed with a mean of 15.2 minutes and a standard deviation of 15.2 minutes. If you take a random sample of 64 patients, what is the probability that the average wait time is greater than 20 minutes?

Suppose the waiting time, in minutes, at a checkout line in a local super market follows a Uniform distribution in the interval (1,6) a. How long is a randomly chosen customer at the super market expected to wait at the checkout counter? b. What is the probability that a randomly chosen customer at the super market will wait between 2 and 5 minutes to be checked out? c. Suppose a random sample of 100 customers is taken at the super...
