An administrator in a small suburban hospital is concerned with the waiting lines in the emergency room, which is always staffed by at least one doctor. Patients arrive on average at the rate of 14 per hour. They are served on a first-come, first-served, basis. On average, one doctor, working alone, can treat a patient in 5 minutes. For each additional doctor added, 2 more patients can be seen in a hour by all doctors working together, on average. (Assume the Poisson arrivals and exponential service times) The administrator has set the objective that, on average, there should not be more than 6 patients waiting to see a doctor.
