Question 1

19)There are ______ key steps in developing a simulation model.&#10;A)six&#10;B)seven&#10;C)eight&#10;D)nine

Accepted Answer

There are eight key steps in developing a simulation model, which include problem identification and definition, model conceptualization, data collection and validation, model verification and validation, experimentation and analysis, model output analysis, model communication, and model implementation.

Question 2

20)______ is the act of duplicating the operation of a real-world process or system over time using physical objects to replace the actual objects.&#10;A)Abstract simulation&#10;B)Physical simulation&#10;C)Process simulation&#10;D)Design simulation

Accepted Answer

Physical simulation involves using physical objects to replace actual objects in order to duplicate the operation of a real-world process or system over time. Abstract simulation involves using computer models to replicate real-life scenarios, process simulation involves creating numerical models to simulate real-world processes and design simulation involves creating virtual models to test and refine the design of a product or system. None of these fully match the definition provided in the question.

Question 3

1)_______ is the act of duplicating the operation of a real-world process or system over time.&#10;A)Duplication&#10;B)Simulation&#10;C)Programming&#10;D)Modeling

Accepted Answer

Simulation is the act of duplicating the operation of a real-world process or system over time, often using computer software to model the process or system in a virtual environment. Duplication, programming, and modeling are related concepts but do not necessarily imply the time-based replication inherent in simulation.

Question 4

6)Which of the following is often the most time-consuming phase of a simulation study?&#10;A)defining the problem&#10;B)collecting data&#10;C)formulating the mathematical model&#10;D)validating the model

Accepted Answer

Collecting data is often the most time-consuming phase of a simulation study because it involves gathering, verifying, and inputting accurate data into the simulation model, which can be a lengthy process depending on the complexity of the system being modeled.

Question 5

17)Which of the following formulae can be used in Excel to generate normally distributed random numbers for a given mean and standard distribution?&#10;A)norminv()&#10;B)normdist(rand(),mean,standard deviation)&#10;C)norminv(rand(),mean,standard deviation)&#10;D)normdist()

Accepted Answer

The norminv() function in Excel generates normally distributed random numbers for a given mean and standard deviation. The other options either do not include the mean and standard deviation as inputs or do not generate random numbers in a normal distribution.

Question 6

10)______ involves testing alternative courses of action by choosing alternative models and executing the simulation repeatedly as necessary.&#10;A)Model verification&#10;B)Validation&#10;C)Model formulation&#10;D)Experimentation

Accepted Answer

Experimentation involves testing alternative courses of action through simulations and repeatedly executing them as necessary. Model verification involves testing the accuracy and consistency of the model, validation involves ensuring that the model accurately represents the real-world process being modeled, and model formulation involves creating the initial model using available data and information.

Question 7

3)Which of the following statements about simulation process is FALSE?&#10;A)It is not iterative in nature.&#10;B)It is not automatic because the intervention of an experienced simulation analyst will be needed.&#10;C)It can be used to show the real impact of alternative conditions and courses of action on the system.&#10;D)It can be used to evaluate the performance of an existing or proposed system and draw conclusions about the behavior of the actual system.

Accepted Answer

Simulation process is generally iterative in nature, as it involves running multiple simulations to test different scenarios and tweak the model accordingly. Therefore, statement A is false.

Question 8

7)______ involves ensuring that the simulation model behaves as intended.&#10;A)Model verification&#10;B)Validation&#10;C)Model formulation&#10;D)Experimentation

Accepted Answer

Model verification involves checking whether the simulation model is correctly implemented without any errors and whether the model accurately represents the real-world system. It is about ensuring that the simulated behavior matches the intended behavior of the system. Validation, on the other hand, involves comparing the simulation output with the real-world data to assess how well the simulation model represents the system being simulated. Model formulation is the process of developing the simulation model, and experimentation involves using the simulation model to conduct various experiments and analyze the results.

Question 9

15)Which of the following steps is part of an Excel function that can be used to generate a random number between 0 and 1?&#10;A)RAND()&#10;B)RANDbetween()&#10;C)RANDOM()&#10;D)RD()

Accepted Answer

The RAND() function is specifically designed to generate a random number between 0 and 1 in Excel. The other options listed (RANDbetween(), RANDOM(), and RD()) are not valid Excel functions.

Question 10

12)Which of the following statements about simulation is FALSE?&#10;A)Since each simulation model is specifically developed to analyze a specific problem,the models,results,or the conclusions cannot be transferred to other problems.&#10;B)Simulation results are generally not more accurate than analytical models.&#10;C)It is a flexible tool and can be quickly adapted as conditions in the problem environment change.&#10;D)Developing complex simulation models can be time-consuming and expensive.

Accepted Answer

Simulation results can sometimes be more accurate than analytical models, especially when the system being modeled is too complex for analytical methods to handle effectively. Analytical models rely on simplifications and assumptions that may not fully capture the dynamics of the system, whereas simulations can model complex systems with a higher degree of detail.
