Question: Consider a queuing system with two parallel servers and a single waiting line: customers join a single line if both servers are busy. They are

Consider a queuing system with two parallel servers and a single waiting line: customers join a single line if both servers are busy. They are eventually serviced by the first free server. If a customer arrives while both servers are idle, (s)he then prefers server 1(who happens to work faster).
The inter-arrival time of customers are known to be distributed Uniform(5,15) minutes.
The service time for the first server is Uniform(15,20) minutes, and for the second server it is given as:
Service Time (mins): 515253545 Probablity: 0.120.350.430.060.04
1.(50 pts) Prepare a simulation table and hand-simulate the system for one hour exactly. Assume that both servers are busy but the queue is empty initially.

2.(25 pts) Use the sequence of random numbers given below and estimate:
i) Average number of customers in the system ii) Average time spent in the queue
iii) The average utilization of each server iv) Probability of no waiting in the queue
(Use the following sequence of random numbers: 0.4970.3800.8620.0200.3910.9750.4800.9050.7590.5600.5930.7440.0690.3700.7900.1760.0200.7140.5390.9280.8600.7170.8610.5630.5430.8580.5370.2070.5300.7230.9230.1400.6110.2250.3700.6030.8700.132).
(Use continuous time. When an arrival and a departure must be simultaneously scheduled, use the convention of scheduling the arrival first).
