Thank you for your reply. When you have calculated 1/5 = 12 minutes of time between each event, does that mean that mu = 12, average time waiting in the system? How will I be able to use the Poisson distribution to calculate the probabilities of traumatic cases and how will that affect the...

BTW, my system is in equilibrium, so Little's law is applicable.. Thanks

Thank you for your reply, I am basing my question on an M/M/C system with c servers and an infinite number of patients.. I would like to be able to graph the Poisson distribution of this as well. I have calculated lambda but I don't really understand the x = 0,1,2,3.. part, does this mean...

Thank you for your reply. I have done some more reading and research. It seems that I can find the probability of a waiting time by using the Erlang C function, I can also find the average waiting time by an excel function. However, I still can't seem to get the emergency part. If a...

queuing theory: calculate probability of an urgent medical case Hello everyone, I am trying to learn about queuing theory. I have read about it and would like to understand how to solve the following: If I run a hospital with patients coming in the emergency room, what is the average time...

Hello everyone, I am new to the forum and was wondering if someone can help explain something to me. I would like to understand the meaning of a positivly invariant system. I have checked the definition on wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_invariance" and it is...

I may have not been clear. If every character in the string is produced in a random manner. What could be a good start to modeling the time to find all the characters as a function of probability?

Hello Everyone, Im new to this forum and would like to learn more about randomness and probability. I would like to know how I would be able to develop an algorithm (as a function of time) in order for a specific string of characters be known. Are there any hints for me to start with...
