A doctor has scheduled two appointments, one at 1pm and the other

A doctor has scheduled two appointments, one at 1pm and the other at 1:30pm. The amount of time the doctor spends with the patient is a constant 20 minutes plus a random amount of time which is distributed as exponential with mean 8 minutes. Assume that both patients will be on time for their appointments.

  1. What is the chance the doctor will be late for her 1:30 appointment because she spends more than 30 minutes with her 1pm appointment?
  2. On average, how long will the 1:30 appointment be at the doctor’s office?

The time the 1:30 appointment spends in the office is the sum of 3 parts: the random waiting time W, the constant 20 minutes of examination time and the additional random examination time T.

We seek E[W + 20 + T] = E[W] + 20 + E[T]

To determine the E[W], condition on whether or not the 1:00pm appointment is still going on at 1:30pm.
