c. Triage is considering creating two separate lines, the
first for patients with surnames starting with a letter in the
range A-M, the second for N-Z. Each line would have a Triage nurse
dedicated to serve only that line of patients. What effect do you
think creating these dedicated lines will have on the average
waiting time experienced by patients at Triage? (i.e., will the
waiting time remain the same, increase or decrease?) You may assume
that the average patient arrival rates to each line would be the
roughly the same. Justify your answer.
Please show every working Thank you!

Patients arrive at an average of one every 25 minutes, and their requests take on average 40 minutes to be processed at Triage. Assume Poisson arrivals and exponential service times. What is the average waiting time for a patient? Prepare for the VUT calculation. a (avg. inter- s (avg. service arrival time) time) m (number u (avg. of servers) utilization) CVa (coef. of var.- arrival) CVs (coef. of var.- service) Show the VUT calculation and final answer to the question: b. How many patients are waiting in the line on average?
