advanced stats question-airline reservation

PLEASE PROVIDE COMPLETE ANSWER WITH DETAILED ANALYSIS

An airline is trying to determine the number of operators needed for the
different areas of their reservation system. The reservation system
first asks customers whether they want to schedule a domestic or an
international flight. Sixty-five percent of the reservations are for
domestic flights. Callers then have the option of choosing how far in
advance they are making the reservations for. The time distribution of
advance sales is given below. Based on the options the customer
selects, their call is sent to a reservation operator.

a. Place the appropriate random number ranges in the tables above.

b. Set up and perform a simulation for ten customers. Determine whether
they want a domestic or international flight, and how far in advance the
reservation is being made.

Use the random numbers from this list to represent the flight type:

.632 .218 .998 .584 .671 .744 .021 .715 .368 .185



Use the random numbers from this list to represent the advanced booking
time:

.165 .621 .992 .188 .388 .109 .202 .363 .392 .384



c. Based on your simulation analysis, should the airline have more
reservation operators for the domestic or international flights?
Additionally, in each flight type, where should the airline put most of
their reservation operators in terms of advanced booking period?
