A Waiting-Line Problem That Cannot Be Modeled by Standard Distributions

question 1

Essay

A waiting-line problem that cannot be modeled by standard distributions has been simulated. The table below shows the result of a Monte Carlo simulation. (Assume that the simulation began at 8:00 a.m. and there is only one server.) Why do you think this problem does not fit the standard distribution for waiting lines? Explain briefly how a Monte Carlo simulation might work where analytical models cannot.

Posterior Cruciate Ligament

A ligament in the knee that connects the femur to the tibia and helps stabilize the knee joint.

Anterior Cruciate Ligament

A key ligament in the knee that stabilizes the joint by preventing the tibia from sliding too far forward beneath the femur.
