Q3) What is the average time required for having your nails
polished (including waiting in line)?
Assuming exponential distributions for the arrivals and
triangular distributions for the delays, build a simulation
that runs for 70000 minutes, and answer these questions:

Patches Beauty Salon, Revisited
The managers of Patches Beauty Salon have realized that
the delays in their services are better described using
distributions other than the triangular. They think that:
A beauty bath is best described by a normal distribution,
with an average of 10 minutes, and a standard deviation
of 3 minutes, and
A nail polishing is best described by a uniform distribution
with a minimum of 3 minutes and a maximum of 7
minutes.
Repeat the simulation using these distributions.
Using those distributions, and assuming exponential
distributions for the arrivals, build a simulation that runs for
70000 minutes, and answer the following questions:

polished (including waiting in line)? Answer: ~7.1 minutes
