Problem 16-07 (Algorithmic)

A variety of routine maintenance checks are made on commercial airplanes prior to each takeoff. A particular maintenance check of an airplane's landing gear requires an average of 13 minutes of a maintenance engineer's time. In fact, the exact time required is normally distributed with a mean of 13 minutes and a standard deviation of 4 minutes. As part of a larger simulation model designed to determine total on-ground maintenance time for an airplane, we will need to simulate the actual time required to perform this maintenance check on the airplane's landing gear. Using random numbers of 0.1547, 0.9435, 0.3171, 0.5105, and 0.7237, compute the time required for each of five simulated maintenance checks of the airplane's landing gear.

If required, round your answers to two decimal places.

Random Number	Time required
0.1547	min
0.9435	min
0.3171	min
0.5105	min
0.7237	min
