Chapter 14, Problem 35E
Program Plan Intro

Given Information:

  • It is given that the cars arrive at the time interval of 3 minutes in a one-pump gas station, whereas the service time of a car is 4 minutes.
  • Let use the random number generator for simulation,
    • A number between 0.0(no chance) and 0.33 (chance) assures a car has arrived.
    • But if a number is greater than the given probability then it means that no car has arrived.
    • First the car arrives in a gas station and it goes into a queue.
    • If a pump is empty, the first car in the queue goes for service and its service time is 4 minutes.
    • The time remaining for service is decremented, when a car is in service at the pump.
      • But if the service time of a car is incremented than the given service time, then the waiting time of the cars in the queue is recorded and the next car enters into the pump for service will be delayed according to the waiting time.
