The average wait time at a McDonald's drive-through window is about three minutes ("The Doctor Will See You Eventually," The Wall Street Journal, October 18, 2010). Suppose the wait time is exponentially distributed. What is the probability that a randomly selected customer will have to wait no more than five minutes?

Let X = the time between two successive arrivals (in minutes) at a drive thru window. Suppose X is exponentially distributed, and that the average time between successive arrivals at the drive thru window is 1.2 minutes. What is the value of lambda, the parameter of exponential distribution? What is the probability that the next drive thru arrival is between 1 to 4 minutes from now? What is the probability that the next drive thru arrival is greater than 2...

Automobiles arrive at the drive-through window at the downtown Baton Rouge, Louisiana, post office at the rate of 2 every 10 minutes. The average service time is 1.5 minutes. The Poisson distribution is appropriate for the arrival rate and service times are negative exponentially distributed. q: If a second drive-through window, with its own server, were added, the average time a car is in the system = nothing minutes (round your response to two decimal places).

The wait times to see a doctor at a large clinic are normally distributed with a mean of 68.2 minutes and a standard deviation of 14.8 minutes. If a simple random sample of 25 patients is selected, find the probability that the sample mean wait time is more than 75 minutes. Round to four decimal places.

The amount of time that you have to wait before seeing the doctor in the doctor's office is normally distributed with a mean of 15.2 minutes and a standard deviation of 15.2 minutes. If you take a random sample of 64 patients, what is the probability that the average wait time is greater than 20 minutes?

Suppose that the amount of service(ordering a coffee and getting it done) time at a KU driving- through coffee shop is exponentially distributed with an expected value of 10 minutes. You arrive at the driving-through line while one customer is being served and one other customer is waiting in the line. The staff of the coffee shop informs you that the customer has already ordered a Cafe Latte and waited for 5 minutes. What is the probability that the customer...
