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
,2|Page
(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) 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).
,3|
(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.
(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
, 4|Page
C) Delay-Release
D) Seize-Delay-Release
E) All of the above ......answer.....all of duh abuv
What is a random device? ......answer.....Considered a lousy generator, nice
randomness properties. However, Unif(0,1) sequence storage is tough so it's
tough to repeat experiment.
An example is flip a coin or least significant digits of atomic clock
What is a random number table? ......answer.....It is a lousy random number
generator that used to be used in like the 1950s, lots of digits supplied in
tables.
Which of the following PRN generators aren't very good?
a) Generators involving physical devices such as coin flips or least significant
digit readings from an atomic clock.
b) Random number tables.
