A company has started a phone service that uses overseas doctors to provide emergency medical consultations. The responding doctors are based in a country with low wages but with a highly skilled pool of physicians. Responding to each call takes on average 15 minutes. At any given time, there are 4 doctors overseas on duty. The average and standard deviation of inter-arrival times for incoming calls is 5 minutes. The company receives $50 from the patient's insurance company for each consultation. If one of the 4 overseas doctors is available, the firm pays $20 to the doctor and makes $30 in profit. If no doctor is available overseas, the call is rerouted to the U.S. where a local physician answers the question. A local physicians is always available to take a call. In this case, the firm pays the $50 to the local physician, so there's no profit for the company.

(a) What is the probability of a call being answered by a physician in the US?

(b) What would be the additional revenue per hour obtained if the company managed to have 10 doctors overseas on duty at any given time?

(c) What would be the additional profit if the company managed to have 10 doctors overseas on duty at any given time? The appropriate worksheet for this problem is "m-cap units & N-m=0."
