Question
An article in Knee Surgery Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, "Effect of provider volume on resource utilization for surgical
procedures," (2005, Vol. 13, pp. 273-279) showed a mean time of 116 minutes and a standard deviation of 18 minutes for
ACL reconstruction surgery for high-volume hospitals (with more than 300 such surgeries per year). If a high-volume hospital
needs to schedule 10 surgeries, what is the mean and variance of the total time to complete these surgeries? Assume the
times of the surgeries are independent and normally distributed.
Mean = i
Variance = i
