Question 1

A waiting-line problem that cannot be modelled by standard distributions has been simulated. The table below shows the result of a Monte Carlo simulation. (Assume that the simulation began at 8:00 a.m. and there is only one server.) Why do you think this problem does not fit the standard distribution for waiting lines? Explain briefly how a Monte Carlo simulation might work where analytical models cannot.
