The random variables corresponding to the interarrival times of customers and the service times of the servers are commonly part of a(n) __________ simulation.
A)Monte Carlo
B)what-if
C)risk analysis
D)discrete-event

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The interarrival times and service times are events that occur discretely in time, so a discrete-event simulation is the best choice. Monte Carlo simulations are typically used to model continuous systems with probabilistic inputs, and what-if and risk analysis simulations are used to explore the effects of changes to input parameters on the overall outcome of a system.
