Make a simulation experiment for car agency and simulate using the fleet of four rental cars for ten days.
Evaluate the probability that the agency will not have the car available on demand.
Should the agency expand its fleet? Describe how simulation experiment could be designed to find the optimal fleet size for payment agency.
