Math Problem Statement

The average waiting time for a patient at an El Paso physician’s office is just over 29 minutes, well above the national average of 21 minutes. In fact, El Paso has the longest physician’s office waiting times in the United States. In order to address the issue of long patient wait times, some physician’s offices are using wait tracking systems to notify patients of expected wait times. Patients can adjust their arrival times based on this information and spend less time in waiting rooms. The Excel Online file below contains the data showing wait times (minutes) for a sample of patients at offices that do not have an office tracking system and wait times for a sample of patients at offices with an office tracking system. Construct a spreadsheet to answer the following questions.

Solution

Please upload the Excel file, and I will analyze the data for you. I can compute statistical measures like the mean, median, standard deviation, and perform hypothesis testing to determine if the tracking system significantly reduces wait times. Let me know any specific analyses you need!
