Question: A waiting line problem (queuing), that cannot be modeled by standard distributions, has been simulated. The table below shows the result of a Monte Carlo

A waiting line problem (queuing), that cannot be modeled 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. Round to the nearest minutes).

Customer number Arrival Time Service Time time for service start Waiting time for service start Service Ends
1 8:00:00 0:02:00
2 8:06:00 0:10:00
3 8:10:00 0:15:00
4 8:20:00 0:11:00
5 8:30:00 0:05:00

Cumulated Waiting time for customers Waiting time for clerk (who is late for 5 minutes). Cumulated Waiting time for clerk Total time for each customer (waiting + serving)
0:05:00
0:00:00
0:00:00
0:00:00
0:00:00
