Question: Develop a model for and attempt to reproduce qualitatively the results found in the text regarding different assumptions for simulating downtimes. Do not attempt to get exactly the siune numerical results, but rather to show the same qualitative results.
(a) Do your models support the conclusions discussed in the text? Provide a discussion and conclusions.
(b) Make a plot of the number of entities in the queue versus time. Can you tell when failures occurred? After a repair, about how long does it take for the queue to get back to "normal"?
