Question: An airport has two concourses. Concourse 1 passengers arrive at a rate of one every 15 2 seconds. Concourse 2 passengers arrive at a rate

An airport has two concourses. Concourse 1 passengers arrive at a rate of one every 15 2 seconds. Concourse 2 passengers arrive at a rate of one every 10 5 seconds. It takes 30 5 seconds to walk down concourse 1 and 35 10 seconds to walk down concourse 2. Both concourses empty into the main lobby, adjacent to the baggage claim. It takes 10 3 seconds to reach the baggage claim area from the main lobby. Only 60% of the passengers go to the baggage claim area. Simulate the passage of 500 passengers through the airport system. How many of these passengers went through the baggage claim area? How close can one expect this simulation estimate to be to the expected number who visit the baggage claim area? [The expected number is 0.60(500) = 300.]

I need a simulation of this in ARENA.
