Question 1 (50 points) A new dental clinic at which only one dentist works is considering setting up an information desk manned by one employee. Based upon information obtained from similar information desks, it is believed that patients will arrive at the desk at a rate of 24 per hour. It takes an average of 1.2 minutes to answer a question. It is assumed that the arrivals follow a Poisson distribution and answer times are exponentially distributed. a) What is the probability that the clinic is empty (except for the dentist)? (10 points) b) What is the probability that there are exactly five patients in the system? (15 points) c) Find the expected time a patient spends just waiting in line to have a question answered (time in the queue). (10 points) d) The cost of waiting time, in terms of patient unhappiness with the dental clinic, is $16 per hour of time spent waiting in line. Find the expected waiting costs over an 8-hour day.
