___________ input.
a.) Stochastic
b.) Pseudo-random
c.) Deterministic
d.) Quadratic - CORRECT ANSWER C
Which of the following is the best example of a situation in which simulation may be useful?
a.) A factory has been built to be easily reconfigurable so that new layouts can be quickly and easily
tested with little time or expense
b.) Someone is interested in the steady state behavior of a simple queue
c.) City planners want to know if the airport in a major city could handle the stress of hosting the
Olympics - CORRECT ANSWER C

type for a dragon would best be modeled as a(n):
a.) Entity
b.) Resource
, c.) Queue

You are modeling the behavior of werewolves in London. Part-way through the model you need
behaviors to change based on a full moon. The phase of the moon is best modeled by using a(n):
a.) Entity
b.) Resource
c.) Queue
d.) Attribute
e.) Variable - CORRECT ANSWER E
You need a new ID and wait in line for 3 hours at the start of the semester. If you were modeling your
experience, you'd model that wait by using a(n):
a.) Entity
b.) Resource
c.) Queue
d.) Attribute
e.) Variable - CORRECT ANSWER C
You realize something is wrong with a simulation because hundreds of entities are created but very
few get through to dispose. In checking the model, you discover that you entered hours instead of
minutes for units in a processing time. You would say that the model failed:
a.) Verification checks
