Question: The emergency room of the community hospital in Farmburg has a receptionist, one doctor, and one nurse. The emergency room opens at time zero, and
Time between Arrivals (min) Probability
5 .....................0.06
10 ...................0.10
15 ...................0.23
20 ...................0.29
25 ...................0.18
30 ...................0.14
The attention needed by a patient who comes to the emergency room is defined by the following probability distribution:
Patient Needs to See Probability
Doctor alone ...............0.50
Nurse alone ..............0.20
Both ..................0.30
If a patient needs to see both the doctor and the nurse, he or she cannot see one before the other; that is, the patient must wait to see both together. The length of the patients visit (in minutes) is defined by the following probability distributions:

Simulate the arrival of 20 patients to the emergency room and compute the probability that a patient must wait and the average waiting time. Based on this one simulation, does it appear this system provides adequate patientcare?
Doctor Probability Nurse Probability |Both Probability 08 .24 51 25 21 15 20 15 20 25 30 .31 25 12 20 7 328 10 15 35
