Question: Three work stations in an assembly line require various operational times with corresponding probabilities. Time in Minutes Station One Station 2 Station 3 4 .

Three work stations in an assembly line require various operational times with corresponding probabilities.
Time in Minutes Station One Station 2 Station 3
4.25.10.05
5.25.30.25
6.25.40.25
7.25.20.45
Simulate the flow of 10 motors through the assembly line. Make the assumption that if a unit is completed for e.g. at station 1 while station 2 is busy, the operator at station 1 will be forced to wait (blocking). When station 2 is free to work on the output from station 1, then station 1 can proceed to work on the next unit. Simulate to derive average output rate of the line.
