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 system and wait times for a sample of patients at offices with a wait-tracking system.

(a) | Considering only offices without a wait-tracking system, what is the z-score for the 10th patient in the sample (wait time = 37 minutes)? |
If required, round your intermediate calculations and final answer to two decimal places. | |
z-score = | |
(b) | Considering only offices with a wait-tracking system, what is the z-score for the 6th patient in the sample (wait time = 37 minutes)? |
If required, round your intermediate calculations and final answer to two decimal places. | |
z-score = | |
How does this z-score compare with the z-score you calculated for part (a)? | |
The input in the box below will not be graded, but may be reviewed and considered by your instructor. | |
(c) | Based on z-scores, do the data for offices without a wait-tracking system contain any outliers? |

Based on z-scores, do the data for offices with a wait-tracking system contain any outliers? | |
- Select your answer -YesNo |
Please explain how. Thank you!
a) Z score = 0.476
b) Z score = 2.118
c) There are no outliers in either of the datasets of we go by definition of 3 std. dev. on the mean for determining the outlier. All the observations are with 3 std. dev. from the mean in the respective datasets.

At a physician's office, patients sit in the Waiting Room until it is their turn (first-come, first-served) to be seen by the doctor. There is only one doctor on duty, and the doctor can help only one patient at a time. Based on her long-run rate of client service, this doctor typically spends 30 minutes per patient. Whenever the doctor finishes her session with one patient, she immediately begins a new session with the next patient. When you arrive in...
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?
please answer this question subject about Business Statistics. THANKS.. Section 1: Writing hypotheses 1. North River Health Clinic claims that the average waiting time for a patient is 20 minutes. A random sample of 6 patients showed a mean wait time of 23.2 minutes. At the.05 level of significance, does the sample show that the mean wait time is different from 20 minutes? State the null and alternate hypotheses. 2. North River Health Clinic claims that the average waiting time...
