Dan operates a carwash with one server, his son.

Cars arrive randomly with a mean of 15 cars per hour

(or one car every 4 minutes). A car takes an average of 3 minutes to wash (or 20 cars per hour). Assume that
a Poisson distribution is a good approximation to describe car arrival (that is, the number of arrival cars in an
hour follows Poisson distribution). Thus the time between arrivals is exponential distrubtion with a mean of 4
minutes. We further assume that the service time has an exponential distribution (with a mean of 3 minutes).

Dan would like to know the current service status of his carwash in terms of car's average waiting time for
service and the percentage of time the server is idle (i.e., no customers are in the system). He is also
considering adding a second server to help his son. Use simulation models to model these one server and
two-server queueing systems.
