Suppose that the average waiting time for a patient at a
physician's office is just over 29 minutes. In order to address the
issue of long patient wait times, some physicians' offices are
using wait-tracking systems to notify patients of expected wait
times. Patients can adjust their arrival times based on this

data show wait times (in minutes) for a sample of patients at
offices that do not have a wait-tracking system and wait times for
a sample of patients at offices with a wait-tracking system.
