Now, on average, each 20 minutes a patient arrives at the emergency department who needs to be checked by the medical doctor urgently. The arrival process is still following the Poisson distribution. The amount of time that the medical doctor spends with the patients remains the same. It is still random, and on average, 15 minutes is spent with a patient.

Therefore, the management is thinking of hiring more medical doctors to decrease the waiting times of the patients. f. What are the two approaches based on which Al Ain Hospital can decide about the extra number of medical doctors that it should hire?
