Announced on September 30
Due by October 9 (5PM via Sakai; There will be a penalty for late submissions)
This assignment is composed of 6 problems. You need to submit Arena models (.doe) and a word (or
PDF) document containing your answers into e-Learning. Alternately, if you solve the problems by hand,
you will need to scan (in PDF file) your answers and submit it into Sakai.
Note: you must WRITE OUT YOUR CALCULATIONS for full credit!!!
1. Problem 1 (21 points; 7 points for each question)
Real data have been collected for a) inter-arrival time for high type b) inter-arrival time for low type, and
c) processing time, and they are shown blow. Using the input analyzer in Arena, find out the best-fit
distribution along with associated parameters for a) inter-arrival time for high type b) inter-arrival time
for low type, and c) processing time. In your answering sheet, explain why you have chosen a specific
distribution for each of them. If one of your answers happens to be a Normal distribution, it should be
noted that Normal distribution is not bounded in both sides.

Since we have 24 data, taking number of intervals between 5 and 10 is reasonable. The analysis for
the corresponding situations is below:

Lets consider Process A taking 30 minutes to service a customer. We would like to schedule
one hour break of Process A at 1:30 pm but Customer 1 enters Process A at 1:15 pm. Note that
the capacity of Process A is one and becomes zero during the break time. Fill in the blank in the
table shown below:

Using the Chi-square test, determine whether the collected data are independent samples from this
fitted distribution or not at level = 0.05. Lets assume the number of interval (k) used in the Chisquare test is 4. Lets also assume that the range of the values is 0 to 4. Note: 23, 0.05 is 7.81. Note that
the chi-square statistics is defined by: 2 = =1 (
( )
and Ej = expected number of Xis in the jth interval if the PDF was correct.

b) = Sup (() ())
|0.25-0.4|=0.15 where 1 < 2.
c) Determined whether we need to reject H0 or not and explain why you have made that decision.
H0= The data are consistent with a specified distribution at level =0.05.
Ha= The data are not consistent with a specified distribution at level =0.05.
D= 0.15 < D20 = 0.294. Thus. we cannot reject H0 (accept the distribution).
