Solutions: Assignment 2

1) Simulation is:

A prototype of a product
A model of a system developed in computer
The testing of a machine
All of the above
2) Which of the following technique can NOT be used to model a system?

Physical modelling
Simulation modelling
Rapid prototyping
Analytical solution
3) "Analytical solution is a better representation of a system in comparison with a simulation
model"
The above statement is?

True
False
4) An example of a "Static" simulation model is

Monte Carlo simulation

Single machine queuing system
Robots in a factory
All of the above
5) In a discrete event simulation "Library Routine" means:

the current value of simulation time

start simulation at time = 0
compute estimates of performance measures
generate random variates
6) Sample space means
Outcomes are sample points in sample space
Process whose outcome is not known with certainty
Collection of all possible outcomes of experiments
None of the above
7) Calculate the mean (M) and standard deviation (SD) of the data set given below:
{4, 8, 5, 10, 6}
M=6.6, SD= 2.408
M=7.3, SD=2.408
M=6.6, SD=3.1
M=5.9, SD=2.9
8) If X and Y are independent, then Cov(X,Y)=?
1
0.5
0
Can not be calculated
9) "Random variables must be positively or negatively correlated"
The statement is:
True
False
10) Chi-Square test is used
to analyse two population means
to analyse more than two population means
to measure linear correlation between two variables X and Y
to test whether a sample data is independent or not
