Question: 1 . Consider the following problem, based on a real - world problem. It is 2 0 2 1 and a medical clinic in Halifax

1. Consider the following problem, based on a real-world problem. It is 2021 and a medical clinic in Halifax wants to run a drive-through vaccination clinic. The vaccination clinic will run for 4 hours and has a target throughput of 100 cars.
A drive through clinic consists of four steps:
1) Greeting (met the vehicle, identify the occupants, and check off against a list). Greeting takes, on average, 3 minutes per car. You can assume that the greet function is exponentially distributed.
2) Explanation and Consent (a clinician explains the procedure, describes the vaccine to be administered, and obtains written consent for each person in the car over the age of 16). This function takes 4 minutes per car, on average. Again, you may assume an exponential service time.
3) Vaccine administration (a clinical person administers the vaccine to all persons in the car). This activity requires 5 minutes, exponentially distributed.
4) Post-vaccine hold. Cars are required to wait 15 minutes before leaving, to ensure that no one in the vehicle has an adverse reaction. You can assume that the 15 minutes wait is exponentially distributed (for simplicity).
