Question: A one-pump gas station is always open and has two types of customers. A police car arrives every 30 minutes (exactly), with the first police

A one-pump gas station is always open and has two types of customers. A police car arrives every 30 minutes (exactly), with the first police car arriving at time 15 minutes. Regular (nonpolice) cars have exponential interarrival times with mean 5.6 minutes, with the first regular car arriving at time 0. Service times at the pump for all cars are exponential with mean 4.8 minutes. A car arriving to find the pump idle goes right into service, and regular cars arriving to find the pump busy join the end of a single queue. A police car arriving to find the pump busy, however, goes to the front of the queue, ahead of any regular cars in line. Initially, the system is empty and idle, and the simulation is to run for 24 hours
