5 M
1 (b) Define the following terms -
(i) Activity (ii) System (iii) Simulation (iv) Delay (v) Model
5 M
1 (c) If the interarrival time ranges from 2 to six minutes with equal probability and random digits generated are 51, 27, 63, 89, 11 and 45. Generated FEL with primary events.
5 M
1 (d) Explain Time series input model.
5 M

2 (a) Explain the steps in simulation study.
10 M
2 (b) Distinguish between -
(i) Terminating and non-terminating simulation
(ii) Endogenous and exogenous event
(iii) Random numbers and random variates.
10 M

3 (a) Describe the characteristics of queuing systems. Name and explain some of the useful statistical models for queuing system.
10 M
3 (b) Explain inventory system. Discuss the cost involved in inventory systems.
10 M

4 (a) Describe the procedure to generate samples from :-
(i) Erlang distibution
(ii) Exponential distribution.
10 M
4 (b) Write down the steps for K-S test. The sequence of numbers 0.54, 0.75, 0.98, 0.12 and 0.68 has been generated. Used K-S test with ?=0.05 to learn whether the hypothesis that the numbers are uniformly distributed on the interval [0,1] can be rejected. (Critical value D?=0.565)
