Emergency Room Traffic. Desert Samaritan Hospital in Mesa, Arizona, keeps records of emergency room traftic. Those records reveal that the times between arriving patients have a mean of minutes with a standard deviation of minutes. Based solely on the values of these two parameters, explain why it is unreasonable to assume that the times between arriving patients is normally distributed or even approximately so.
