1. A marketing director needs to estimate the demand for a new product and she obtains the pessimistic, the optimistic and the most likely estimates of the demand from the company's store manager. What probability distribution should be used to describe this random variable in computer simulation?
Uniform distribution
Triangular distribution
Exponential distribution
Normal distribution
Binomial distribution
2. Which of the following statements is true with regard to uncertain variables in RSPE software?
Each uncertain variable must have a discrete probability distribution
Uncertain variables are input variables
The value of the uncertain variable is fixed during most simulation runs
Uncertain variables are output variables
All of the above
3. Which of the following statements is true?
The exponential distribution is not useful for describing the time between random events.
The normal distribution is a good choice when all values within a range are equally likely.
The triangular distribution has a fixed upper and lower bound.
The normal distribution has a fixed upper and lower bound.
The normal distribution describes the number of times an event occurs in a fixed number of trials.
