build a simulation model using the distributions


Build a simulation model using the distributions you get in part A to verify whether the claim by trucking associations that the average time it takes a truck to cross the border has more than doubled since the new security procedures have been put in place. Use a single replication with a replication length of 30 days. When you run your ARENA model, if you encounter the situation where 150 entities have been exceeded, add an extra inspection booth at one of the primary inspection lanes or add an extra secondary inspection agent. Print the flow chart of your model which appears in the model window of ARENA and any ARENA outputs which are used to answer the following questions and submit it along with the answers.

Use the relevant information from your arena output to answer the following questions.

a. Based on your simulation output, is the claim of the trucking companies true? Why or why not?

b. What is the average waiting time in line for a FAST truck at the primary inspection booths?

c. What is the average waiting time in line at the lane dedicated to FAST trucks?

d. Are your answers to part (b) and (c) the same? Why or why not?

e. Determine a 95% confidence interval for the total time taken by FAST trucks which do not have to undergo secondary inspection to cross the border.
