A bank has one drive-in teller and room for one additional
customer to wait. Customers arriving when the queue is full, park
and go inside the bank to transact business. The
time-between-arrivals and service-time distributions are given
below.

Simulate the operation of the drive-in teller for 10 new
customers. The ļ¬rst of the 10 new customers arrives at a time
determined at random. Start the simulation with one customer being
served, leaving at time 3, and one in the queue. Assign random
numbers for Inter-arrival Time and Service Time. (No need to show
random number generation) Explain the columns for queue before and
after arrival.
1. How many customers went into the bank to transact
business?
2. What is the average time the customer spent in the drive-in
bank?
