Problem 1: A small store has one cashier only.

Problem 1: A small store has one cashier only. Let the interarrival time be uniformly distributed between 2 and 6 minutes. Let the service time distribution is as shown in the following table. Service time (min) probability 1 0.05 2 0.15 3 0.3 4 0.25 5 0.15 6 0.1 Build a simulation table and the analysis for 10 customers. Use the random number generator on your calculator (or using the excel function rand() to generate 20 random numbers. Use 10 numbers for the arrival time simulation and 10 for the service time simulation using inverse transformation method for interarrival and service times. (The random numbers must be included in the table). Then, answer the following questions: 1- What is the average interarrival time, and what is the average service time? 2- What is the average time in queue? 3- What is the average time in system? 4- What is the total idle time of the cashier
