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 - Correct Answer-(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.

Who is William Gosset?
A) He invented the t distribution that is used ubiquitously in statistics.
B) He invented the s distribution that is used ubiquitously in statistics.
C) He invented tea.
D) He invented the word "ubiquitous".
E) He is the brother of Louis Gossett Jr., best known for his fine acting in many
films, including An Officer and a Gentleman. - Correct Answer-A) He invented the t
distribution that is used ubiquitously in statistics.
What was the first use of a computer simulation? - Correct Answer-Stan Ulam and
Johnny von Neumann in 1946 after world war 2. They used simulation in the
context of the development of the H bomb.
The simulated thermonuclear reactions actually, chain reactions.
What was the main development in the simulation field in the 1960s? - Correct
Answer-Industrial applications

-manufacturing
-queueing models
Who was Harry Markowitz? - Correct Answer-He was one of the first guys to
develop a language called SIMSCRIPT. He also won a nobel prize for some of the
work he did in optimizing financial portfolios (portfolio theory).
In terms of simulations origins in manufacturing, what are some of the ways that
simulation was/is used? - Correct Answer-1. Calculated the movement of parts
and interaction of system components.
2. Evaluates part flow thru the system
3. Examines conflicting demand for resources
4. Studies contemplated changes before their introduction
5. Prevent design blunders
What are some characteristics of simulation models? - Correct Answer-1. Discrete
(vs. continuous)
2. Stochastic (vs. deterministic)
3. Dynamic (vs. static)
What is simulation? - Correct Answer-Simulation is the imitation of a real-world
process of system over time.
Simulation involves the generation of an artificial history to draw inferences
concerning the operating characteristics of the real system that is represented.
