ISYE 6644 Midterm 2 Questions and Answers ACTUAL UPDATED QUESTIONS
AND CORRECT ANSWERS
True or False? You can pre-assign a service time as an True
attribute before you actually get to the server that you'll
be using
True or False? If you have Create module generating False
one-at-a-time customer arrivals, then it is not possible to
use a different Create module with 4-at-a-time customer
arrivals.
True or False? Fake customers can be used to schedule True
machine breakdowns, keep track of which time period the
simulation is currently in, and carry out other duties not
associated with actual customers.
Which module/spreadsheet is NOT in the Advanced Process Model
Process panel? - The process model is in the Basic Process panel.
Advanced Process Panel
-Seize module
-Delay module
-Release module
-Expression spreadsheets
-Failure spreadsheets
Why are things like Seize, Delay, Release in multiple The process module does not allow us to use Seize, Delay, Release with sufficient
templates? generality.
True or False? You can schedule failures to occur after a True
random number of customers have used a resource or
after a random amount of time has passed.
True or False? You are only allowed to schedule one type False
of failure for a particular resource.
, Which block is NOT in the Blocks template? Process Block
- No such thing, but the Process module is in the Basic Process panel
Blocks template:
- Seize block
- Delay block
- Release block
- Alter block
- Queue block
True or False? The Queue block can connect up to the False
Seize module from the Advanced Process template.
Which kinds of sets are allowed? - Resource set
- Counter set
- Entity type set
- Entity picture set
True or False? It is possible for the resource Joey to be a True
member of three different resource sets
True or False? For easy display and organizational True
purposes, our Call Center simulation is divided into
several submodules.
True or False? The customer arrival pattern for our Call True
Center changes over the day and is therefore modeled as
a nonhomogeneous Poisson process.
True or False? All the Tech Support servers for our Call False.
Center are equally skilled and have the same concurrent
work schedules -Some of the workers are more talented than others.
- All the servers have different schedules
True or False? In the Call Center demo, fake customers True
are used to update a variable that keeps track of the
period of the day
Consider our Call Center demo, What is the following Grab a random server from the set Product 1 and store the guy's identity in the
Seize request asking for? Set, Product 1, 1, Preferred attribute Agent
Order, Agent.
True or False. In our Inventory demo, fake customers are True
used to initiate a periodic inventory review.
Consider the Arena expression DISC(0.3, 1, 0.5, 3, 1.0, 6), (0.3)(1) + (0.5-0.3)(3) + (1.0 - 0.5)(6) = 3.9
which is a discrete random variable. What is the random
variable's expected value?
