Problem 1 (25 points) The time between incoming phone calls to customer

Problem 1 (25 points) The time between incoming phone calls to customer service is Exponential with a mean of 14 minutes. Each call typically takes min=5, max=20, and most likely = 10 minutes, (Triangularly distributed). Simulate the system based on the following scenarios (run each scenario for 6 hours, with 50 replications). a) There are two operators, and the system has only a single queue. Report the histogram and mean for the average waiting time. b) There are two operators, and each operator has its own queue. Phone calls will be directed to the random queue (policy = "random"). Report the histogram and mean for the average waiting time. c) Compare the average waiting time of parts a and b. Is there any meaningful difference? Explain.
