The discussion revolves around comparing two types of job processing times: one following a normal distribution with a mean of 4.5 minutes and a standard deviation of 1.5 minutes, and the other following a uniform distribution between 1 and 3 minutes. Participants are exploring how to determine which job requires less processing time.
The discussion is ongoing, with participants seeking clarity on the comparison between the two distributions. Some guidance has been offered regarding the interpretation of "smaller" in relation to the distributions, but no consensus has been reached on the approach to take.
Participants are working within the constraints of a simulation tool (Simio) and are required to establish job priorities based on processing times. There is an emphasis on the randomness of processing times from both distributions.

Amol Musale said:I am working on simio and i have to decide job priority according to their processing time. smaller the processing time, higher the priority. I don't know how to compare between normal and uniform distribution.
