Question

Nine junior doctors work in a clinic dealing with patients with non-urgent medical problems. A single senior doctor works in an office in the clinic and is available to help the junior doctors with any issues that they feel they aren't qualified to deal with. The doctor is generally working on paper work and is immediately available to help a junior doctor as needed (as long as they aren't busy assisting another junior doctor, in which case they will have to wait). On average, a junior doctor needs the help of the senior doctor once every two hours (assume Poisson arrivals); the senior doctor can deal with an issue in arn average of five minutes (assume exponential distribution). What percent of the time will the doctor be busy helping junior doctors resolve problems? 25% to 49.99% - b.75% to 100% c. 50% to 74.99% d. 0% to 24.99% /

Explanation / Answer

Given are following data :

Rate of requirement of help for Junior Doctor from Senior Doctor ( @ once every 2 hours ) = a = 0.5 / hour

Rate of service in terms of help from senior Doctor ( @ 5 minutes per help ) = S = 60/5 = 12 per hour

Percentage of time Doctor will be busy helping junior Doctors = a/s x 100 = ( 0.5/12) x 100 = 4.166 %

Therefore , answer would be “ d. 0% to 24.99%”

ANSWER : d_ 0% to 24.99%

ANSWER : d_ 0% to 24.99%
