SET A+
✔✔Consider the following sequence of PRNs.
0.15 0.85 0.23 0.36 0.42 0.49 0.66 0.70 0.80 0.89 0.97 0.85
How many runs "up and down" are there? - ✔✔Here is what the run results from the 12
PRNS look like:
+-+++++++++-
Thus, there are 4 runs.
✔✔True or False? The ROUTE module is found in the Advanced Transfer template and
allows you to move entities from Station to Station. - ✔✔
✔✔ True or False? You can pre-assign a service time as an attribute before you
actually get to the server that you'll be using - ✔✔True
✔✔True or False? If you have Create module generating one-at-a-time customer
arrivals, then it is not possible to use a different Create module with 4-at-a-time
customer arrivals. - ✔✔False
✔✔True or False? Fake customers can be used to schedule machine breakdowns,
keep track of which time period the simulation is currently in, and carry out other duties
not associated with actual customers. - ✔✔True
✔✔Which module/spreadsheet is NOT in the Advanced Process panel? - ✔✔Process
Model
- 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 templates? - ✔✔The process
module does not allow us to use Seize, Delay, Release with sufficient generality.
✔✔True or False? You can schedule failures to occur after a random number of
customers have used a resource or after a random amount of time has passed. -
✔✔True
✔✔True or False? You are only allowed to schedule one type of failure for a particular
resource. - ✔✔False
✔✔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 Seize module from the
Advanced Process template. - ✔✔False
✔✔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 member of three different
resource sets - ✔✔True
✔✔True or False? For easy display and organizational purposes, our Call Center
simulation is divided into several submodules. - ✔✔True
✔✔True or False? The customer arrival pattern for our Call Center changes over the
day and is therefore modeled as a nonhomogeneous Poisson process. - ✔✔True
✔✔True or False? All the Tech Support servers for our Call Center are equally skilled
and have the same concurrent work schedules - ✔✔False.
