question 17

Essay

On a visit to an amusement park,you pass someone who has just ridden a roller coaster and asks you for directions to the First Aid Station.Realizing that traffic at the First Aid Station would be something to study with simulation,you gather some information.Two EMTs staff the station,and patients wait and go to the first one available.People coming there can be divided into two groups: those who need something minor (e.g.,Tylenol,a Band-Aid)or those who need more help.​
Assume those in the first group constitute 25% of the patients and take five minutes to have their problem solved.Those in the second group need an uncertain amount of time,as given by a probability distribution.Develop a flowchart for this simulation problem.
