- Suppose that the average waiting time for a patient at a physicians office is just over 29 minutes. 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 (in 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 such systems. a. What are the mean and median patient wait times for offices with a wait-tracking system? What are the mean and median patient wait times for offices without a wait-tracking system? b. What are the variance and standard deviation of patient wait times for offices with a wait-tracking system? What are the variance and standard deviation of patient wait times for visits to offices without a wait tracking system? c.

- Consider the checkout process of a grocery store with ten identical cashiers performing the checkout process. First, assume that each cashier has her own separate checkout queue and that customers arrive at each case with an average arrival rate of 12 per hour. It takes 4.8 minutes on average to check a customer out. Assume that both the inter-arrival times and service times have a coefficient variation of 1. 1) How long on average does a customer wait from joining the queue in front of a cashier until her checkout is complete? 2) On average, how many customers are waiting in the queue in total? ( Including all queues)? 3) Now suppose the ten queues are pooled together so that there is one common queue.
