7. A distribution center supplies three company outlets. The probability distributions for weekly demand at the three outlets are given below.

a. Simulate the demand at the distribution center for each week of a 20-week period, and calculate the mean weekly demand. From Appendix IV, use the top 20 num- bers in the left-hand column of two-digit random numbers for the first outlet, the column next to it for the second outlet, and so on.

b. Construct a table showing the frequencies of different levels of total weekly de- mand at the distribution center.

c. Compute the mean weekly demand at the distribution center.
