An increase in the size of the barge unloading crew at the Port of New Orleans (see Section 13.5) has resulted in a new probability distribution for daily unloading rates. In particular, Table 13.10 may be revised as shown here:
Daily Unloading Rate Probability
1 0.03
2 0.12
3 0.40
4 0.28
5 0.12
6 0.05
(a) Resimulate 15 days of barge unloadings and compute the average number of barges delayed, average number of nightly arrivals, and average number of barges unloaded each day. Draw random numbers from the leftmost value of the bottom row of Table 13.4 to generate daily arrivals and from the second-from-the-bottom row to generate daily unloading rates.
