Week 1 Module 1 Lesson 3 Question 1
We are interested in modeling the arrival and service process at the local McBurger Queen burger joint.
Customers come in every once in a while, stand in line, eventually get served, and off they go. Generally
speaking, what kind of model are we talking about here? (More than one answer below may be right.)
a. Discrete
b. Continuous
c. Stochastic
d. Deterministic
(a) (because events such as arrivals and service completions only happen once in a while, as opposed
to continuously); and (c) (because customer arrival times, service times, shift changes, etc., are all
random).

Which of the following can be regarded as advantages of simulation? (More than one answer below may
be right.)
a. Simulation enables you to study models too complicated for analytical or numerical treatment.
b. Simulations can serve as very pretty demos that even University of Georgia graduates can understand.
c. Simulation can be used to study detailed relations that might be lost in an analytical or numerical treatment.
d. Simulations are often tedious and time-consuming to produce.

Week 1 Module 1 Lesson 4 Question 2
YES or NO? Has anyone closely related to the field of computer simulation ever won a Nobel Prize?
Yes
Harry Markowitz won the 1990 Nobel Prize in Economics for his work in the field of portfolio optimization.
He is highly regarded in the simulation
community for his conception and development of the general-purpose simulation language SIMSCRIPT.
