“Then the amount of work arriving is the Y -fold convolution of the vector representing the service time for emergency patients, s(Y ) e .” See List of convolutions of probability distributions
\[{\displaystyle \sum _{i=1}^{n}\mathrm {Poisson} (\lambda _{i})\sim \mathrm {Poisson} \left(\sum _{i=1}^{n}\lambda _{i}\right)\qquad \lambda _{i}>0}\]
