The manager of a small post office is concerned that the growing township is overloading the one-window service being offered. Sample data are collected on 100 individuals who arrive for service: Frequency Inter arrival time (Time between Arrivals) (minutes) 1 2 3 4 8 35 40 17 Service Time (minutes) 1 2 3 4 Frequency 12 21 41 26 Using the following random number sequence, simulate six arrivals, assume the first arrival time 0.
