To calculate the average percentage of patients who waited longer than an acceptable amount of waiting time, we need to add up the percentages for each month and divide by 12 (number of months in a year).

(2.9 + 3.5 + 4.2 + 2.7 + 3.6 + 3.9 + 2.8 + 3.2 + 3.6 + 3.8 + 3.6 + 3.9) / 12 = 44.9 / 12 = 3.74
