Question

^{All arriving patients at a clinic first sign in with a single receptionist. Suppose that arrivals occur
according to a Poisson process with rate 5 patients per hour. If we know that the sign-up
processing times are normally distributed with a mean of 10 minutes and a standard deviation of
1 minute, what is the expected number of patients in the system in its statistical equilibrium?}

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
