The time between arrivals of parts in a single machine queuing system is uniformly distributed from 1 to 20 minutes (for simplicity round off all times to the nearest whole minute.) The part's processing time is either 8 minutes or 14 minutes. Consider the following case of probability mass function for service times: Prob. of processing (8 min.) = .5, Prob. of processing (14 min.) = .5 Simulate the case, you need to estimate average waiting time in system.

5. Home-office deduction - Chad works for his employer 100% of the time from his home office. There is a desk for him at work but he is allowed to choose where he works from. He also operates a side business for which he is self-employed. He works from the same home office and does all of his self-employed related work there. Is Chad allowed a home-office deduction for either, both or none of these situations?
