The Smalltown Credit Union experiences its greatest congestion on paydays from 11:30 A.M. until 1:00 P.M.

During these rush periods, customers arrive according to a Poisson process at rate 2.1 per minute. The credit union employs 10 tellers for these rush periods, and each takes 4.7 minutes to service a customer. Customers who arrive to the credit union wait in a single queue, if necessary, unless 15 customers are already in the queue. In this latter case, arriving customers are too impatient to wait, and they leave the system. Simulate this system to find the average wait in queue for the customers who enter, the average number in queue, the percentage of time a typical teller is busy, and the percentage of arrivals who do not enter the system. Try this simulation under the following conditions and comment on your results. For each condition, make five separate runs, using a different random number seed on each run.

a. Try a warm-up time of 2 hours. Then try no warmup time. Use exponentially distributed service times for each.

b. Try exponentially distributed service times. Then try gamma-distributed service times, where the standard deviation of a service time is 2.4 minutes.

Use a warm-up period of 1 hour for each.

c. Try 10 tellers, as in the statement of the problem. Then try 11, then
