Question 1
pts
(Lesson 4.1: Steps in a Simulation Study.) Which steps are regarded as essential for a successful
simulation study? (There may be more than one correct answer.)
a. Problem formulation
b. Model validation
c. Model verification
d. Experimental design
e. Output analysis
f. Attendance at a Justin Bieber concert
(a),(b),(c),(d) and (e)
Question 2
pts
(Lesson 4.1: Steps in a Simulation Study.) Suppose that I have modelled the arriving calls to a call
center as a Poisson process. What do I have to carry out in order to determine if that’s indeed a
reasonable model assumption?
a. Problem formulation
b. Model validation
c. Model verification
d. Attend a Justin Bieber concert (b).
Question 3
pts
(Lesson 4.2: Some Useful Definitions.) Which of the following times could be regarded as events?
(There may be more than one correct answer.)
a. Customers arrive at Justin's concert venue
, b. Justin forgets a lyric
c. Justin sings the wrong note
d. Angry customers depart the venue
e. A customer is 11 years old
(a)–(d) are all events. [(e) is an attribute, not an event.]
Question 4
pts
(Lesson 4.2: Some Useful Definitions.) TRUE or FALSE? Customer waiting times are activities
because these are typically explicitly specified in the simulation.
True
False
FALSE. Although activities are indeed times of specified length,waiting times typically need to be
calculated from the sequence of customer arrival and service times | and so are not explicitly
specified beforehand.
FALSE. Although activities are indeed times of specified length,waiting times typically need to be
calculated from the sequence of customer arrival and service times | and so are not explicitly
specified beforehand.
Question 5
pts
(Lesson 4.3: Time-Advance Mechanisms.) TRUE or FALSE? The simulation clock time is a variable.
True
False
Question 6
pts
(Lesson 4.3: Time-Advance Mechanisms.) TRUE or FALSE? The simulation clock time always
equals real time.
True
False
Question 7
pts
(Lesson 4.3: Time-Advance Mechanisms.) TRUE or FALSE? In this class, time always moves
forward.
True
