In: Statistics and Probability
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the hospital emergency department at a very busy hospital receives, on average, one patient every 25.1 minutes. The standard deviation of inter-arrival time between two consecutive patients is 9.8 minutes. Calculate the average patients arrival (receiving) rate per day for this hospital emergency service. Note that, the emergency service of this hospital is open 24/7, and one day is equivalent to 24 hours.
Answer:-
Given that:-
