Simulation Practice Problems

1. There is only one telephone in a public booth of a metro station. Following table indicates the distribution of arrival time and duration of calls: Time Between arrivals (minutes) 4 5 6 Probability 0.1 .6 0.3 Call Duration (minutes) 3 4 5 6 Probability 0.14 0.6 0.12 0.14 Simulate for 100/500/1000 times. Conduct 3 such trials. It is proposed to add another telephone to the booth. Justify the proposal based on the waiting time of caller.Generate graphs to support your answer. 2.

In this dynamic world , the subject system analysis and design, mainly deals with the software development activities. This post include:- What is System? What are diffrent Phases of System Development Life Cycle? What are the component of system analysis? What are the component of system designing? What is System? A collection of components that work together to realize some objectives forms a system. Basically there are three major components in every system, namely input, processing and output. In a system the different components are connected with each other and they are interdependent. For example, human body represents a complete natural system.
