daily sale of the product depends on demand which has the
following distribution: (20)

Sales per day 47 48 49 50 51 52 53

(units)
Probability 0.08 0.12 0.20 0.30 0.15 0.10 0.05
The production cost and selling price of each unit are $ 30 and
$ 50 respectively. Any unsold product is to be disposed off at
loss of $8 per unit. There is a penalty of $4 per unit if the
demand is not met (unsatisfied). Using the following 10 random
numbers, estimate the total profit /loss for the company for the
next ten days: 11,93,67,89,52,01,76,15,42,25

an analyst ever prefer a general purpose language such
as FORTRAN or BASIC in a simulation when there are
advantages in using special purpose language such as
GPSS or SIMSCRIPT. (10)

on your experience, select a business application of your
choice and write important steps of simulation
application. (10)

Q6. a) Explain any two of the following test

Q7. A machine shop of a automotive manufacturing company
having large number of machines maintained a recorded
machine breakdowns for about two years and based on the
record breakdown frequency is given below: (20)

Number of breakdowns per week 0 1 2 3 4 5

Frequency 10 20 30 16 14 10

Find the probability distribution for zero to five breakdowns.

Simulate the breakdown for 15 weeks using Monte Carlo
simulation and random numbers of 37, 63, 74, 21, 47, 39, 16,
99, 23, 87, 05, 53, 91, 30, 65. Using the simulation, determine
the mean number of breakdowns and compare this to the
expected number of breakdowns based on the given historical
data.
