CS 4633 Simulation Techniques

Instructor Dr. Turgay Korkmaz

Homework 5 – programming (80 points)

Due by April 28, 2005  (3:30pm)

 

In this homework, you are first asked to modify the CSIM program that you developed in

HW4 so that you will get two alternative designs, then compare these alternatives w.r.t.

response time that we defined before.

 

Recall that, in the original design, we had 2 persons at the first point to check boarding pass and ID,

and 2 persons at the last stage to re-check 15% of passengers!

 

·        Alternative_1_3: suppose we have 1 person   at the first stage and 3 persons at the last stage.

·        Alternative_3_1: suppose we have 3 persons at the first stage and 1 person   at the last stage.

 

While modifying your program, make sure you use CRN (i.e., use the same random

numbers for the same purpose in both alternatives).

 

 

REPORT:

  1. (20 pt) Turn in hard copy of your program (don’t change your soft copy after submitting your homework).
  2. (20 pt) Run your simulation program for each alternative, 30 times with different random numbers and collect 30 sample values for average response time.
  3. (20 pt) Using these data, compute sample, mean, variance, and 95% confidence interval for each system
  4. (20 pt) Compare the given alternatives and select the best one with 95% confidence.
