I would like some assistance in solving the following simulation question I got 22,950 however I am not sure if that's the correct answer.

CC Chemicals manufactures chlorine gas by passing electricity through salt water in a diaphragm cell. The plant has 88 diaphragm cells that operate in parallel. Due to the harsh environment, failures occur that require the cell to be taken offline for maintenance. A cell fails on average every 30 hours according to the exponential probability distribution. Only one cell can be repaired at any given time. Using the current maintenance procedure, the repair time follows the general probability distribution given in Table SIM. Table RAN provides a set of random numbers. Table SIM Repair Hours Probability 8 0.05 10 0.12 12 0.15 14 0.32 15 0.22 17 0.14 Table RAN Day 2 3 4 5 6 8 9 10 Random Numbers 0.30 0.66 0.25 0.13 0.72 0.88 0.38 0.19 0.60 0.44 If repairs cost $1700 per hour, what is the expected maintenance cost, based on the 10 simulations done? Select one: O a. $28,220.00 O b. $19,890.00 O c. $30, 260.00 O d. $22,950.00
