You run a small charity to provide transportation for the
elderly. You have a team of volunteer drivers, and you
reimburse the drivers a small sum of money for each ride depending
on the distance between the pick-up point and the
destination. You would like to estimate the daily
reimbursement cost. Based on operations of the past year, you
know the following information:
Number of callers per day
Probability
0
0.10
1
0.65
2
0.25
Ride ID
Probability
Reimbursement
A – Kowloon ó New Territories
0.5
$30
B – Kowloon ó HK Island
0.4
$25
C – HK Island ó New Territories
0.1
$50
In Parts (a)-(c), you will design a SIMULATION BY HAND
experiment over 10 days (i.e. 10 trials). The following random
numbers from 00-99 have already been generated.
List 1 - Random numbers to determine the number of call
requests. Start at the top of the list. There may be
more random numbers than you need.

List 2 - Random numbers to determine
the request type of each caller. Start at the top of the
list. There may be more random numbers than you
need.
