questions and answers 2024
What is the name of Arena's primary modeling approach "world
view"?
A) Process-Interaction
B) Event-Scheduling
C) Continuous Modeling Flowchart
D) Mixed Modeling
E) Event-Interaction - answer A) Process Interaction
What sequence of Arena modules would you use to
generate customer arrivals, use a server
, and then have customers leave the system
after they're done with the server? - answer Create-Process-Dispose
(ARENA) TRUE or FALSE? A Create module allows you the use a
variety of customer interarrival time distributions. - answer TRUE
(ARENA) What is Seize-Delay-Release? - answer Grab at least one
resource (server), spend time getting served, and then free the
server for the next customer. If you seize and the server isn't
available, you may have to wait in a queue.
(ARENA) What is a seize-delay? - answer Grab at least one resource
and spend time getting served. Remember to release the server
sometime later, else he gets deadlocked and a giant line will form.
, (ARENA) What is a delay-release? - answer Use a previously seize'd
for a while, and then free him for the next guy to use.
(ARENA) Which of the following action sequences can you find in a
Process module?
A) Delay
B) Seize-Delay
C) Delay-Release
D) Seize-Delay-Release
E) All of the above - answer all of duh abuv
(ARENA) TRUE or FALSE? A process is generally considered to
consist of both a resource and its associated queue. - answer TRUE
(ARENA) TRUE or FALSE? You can change the number of servers on
duty (i.e., the capacity) for a resource using the Resource
spreadsheet. - answer TRUE
(ARENA) TRUE or FALSE? You can a queue discipline from FIFO to
LIFO with one click by using the Queue spreadsheet. - answer TRUE
Which property is not desirable for a good pseudo-random number
generator?
(a) The numbers must appear to be Unif(0,1).
(b) The numbers be approximately independent.
(c) We should be able to generate the PRNs very, very quickly.
(d) We must be able to look up the series of PRNs from a table.
(e) We can reproduce any sequence of PRNs if called upon to do so.
- answer (d) We must be able to look up the series of PRNs from a
table.
