      Google has crawled and indexed my new site, but my old URLS appear in the search results.  Is there a typical amount of time that it takes for Google to update the URL's displayed in search results?

        There really isn't a typical amount of time as it depends on links to your site, crawl frequency of your current page, and how many resources they choose to use on you at that time.

        There are, however, ways to speed up the process.

        1. Claim your site in Search Console (Webmaster Tools)

        2. Submit a sitemap

        3. Use the "Fetch" tool in Search Console.

        4. Build/earn some new links to the pages you care about.

        All of those will help your pages be reindexed more quickly. Also, if you want the "very fast, slightly cheap" way of doing it, post the links on Google+, ping them with Indexkings and build internal links from new blog posts. All of those definitely help with index status.
