A doctor has scheduled two appointments, one at 1:00 p.m. and the other at 1:30 p.m. The amounts of time that the appointments last are independent exponential random variables with mean 30 minutes. Assuming that both patients arrive on time and that the doctor can only meet with one patient at a time, find the expected amount of time that the 1:30 appointment person spends at the doctor’s office. Hint: use conditioning

The amount of time that you have to wait before seeing the doctor at the doctor's office means 15 minutes and normally distributed with a standard deviation of minutes. If you take a random sample of 35 patients, what is the probability that the average wait time is greater than 20 minutes? (Hint: Round the probability value to decimal places.)
