Assignment#1: JET Copies Case Problem

According to the discrete distrubution, the number of days (y) needed to repair the copier is as follows (where "R2" is a random value in the excel sheet between and 0 and 1):

0 R2 .2, then it takes 1 day

.2 R2 .65, then it takes 2 days

.65 R2 .9, then it takes 3 days

.9 R2 1, then it takes 4 days

James estimated that the time between break-downs was probably between 0 and 6 weeks, with the probability increasing the longer the copier went without breaking down. For simulating the interval between successive breakdowns:

f(x) x/18, 0 ? x ? 6 weeks where x weeks between break-downs

f(x) x/36, 0 ? x ? 6 weeks where x weeks between...
