A simulation of Clinic Counter System will be carried out with the aim of improving customer waiting time problem. There are two types of customers, namely Type A and Type B customers and there are also 2 counters for Type A customers and 3 counters for Type B customers. In conducting a simulation study aimed at obtaining the actual number of counters that should be opened for these two types of customers, you have to : a) Determine the type of data to be collected and describe the data collection planning. b) Provide example of the entities, activities, events, and state variables for system above.

Explain why the choice of data structure used for the event queue is important in discrete event simulation. (The key issue is performance as the size of the simulation grows.) Be specific in your answer, and include examples of data structures that are appropriate and inappropriate, explaining why for each.
Gulf Hypermarket wants to develop a Sales Information System. This system allows customers to purchase the items. The system will check for the price of each item in the price file. Then the system calculates the total bill amount for the items purchased. The customer can make the payment by cash or card for purchased items. Then system will print the Bill/Receipt and issue to the customer. Draw a Physical Dataflow Diagram for the given scenario
A group of researchers conducted a study to investigate the effectiveness of a new teaching method for a particular subject. They randomly assigned 100 students to two groups: one group received the new teaching method, and the other group received the traditional teaching method. At the end of the semester, they measured the students' performance on a standardized test. The researchers found that the mean score for the group that received the new teaching method was higher than the mean score for the group that received the traditional teaching method. How can the researchers test the hypothesis that the new teaching method is more effective than the traditional teaching method? What statistical test should they use?
Most supermarkets use scanners at the checkout counters. The data collected this way can be used to evaluate the effect of price and store's promotional activities on the sales of any product. The promotions at a store change weekly, and are mainly of two types: flyers distributed outside the store and through newspapers (which may or may not include that particular product), and in-store displays at the end of an aisle that call the customers' attention to the product. Weekly data was collected on a particular beverage brand, including sales (in number of units), price (in dollars), flyer (1 if product appeared that week, 0 if it didn't) and display (1 if a special display of the product was used that week, 0 if it wasn't). As a preliminary analysis, a simple linear regression model was done.The fitted regression equation was: SALES (Y)=2259−1418×PRICE(X) , (where B0=2259 & B1=−1418)The F test p-value was .000, and R2= 59.7%. Answer the following questions: 1. Which of the…
Draw an ER model based on following scenario.A travel agency has different bus stations at different location. Each station has a unique name, locationand buses. Each bus has a unique bus number, color and type. The bus takes routes between stations.Each route has a name, arrival time and departure time. A single bus can take routes to different stations.Some buses may not take any route in some days however a station must have a route each day. Eachbus contains seats. Each seat has unique number, row and seat type. There are three different types ofseats as first class, standard and economy. Passengers can make reservations. Passenger has id number,full name, age, gender and address. Each reservation will have a unique reservation number, fare, dateand time. Each reservation can have any numbers of seats. The reservation is dependent on passenger.
You are developing a simulation model of a service system and are trying to create an input model of the customer arrival Process, You have the following four observations of the process of interest [86, 24,9, 50] and you are considering either an exponential distributionor a uniform distribution for the model. Using the data to estimate any necessary distribution Parameters, write the steps to plot Q-Q plots for both uniform and exponential distribution. Write the steps clearly. Thanks.
An airport is developing a computer simulation of air-traffic control that handles events such as landings and takeoffs. Each event has a time stamp that denotes the time when the event will occur. The simulation program needs to efficiently perform the following two fundamental operations: • Insert an event with a given time stamp (that is, add a future event). • Extract the event with smallest time stamp (that is, determine the next event to process). The best data structure for this air-traffic control simulation is a priority queue. The priority queue will enable the handling of the time stamps and keep the events in order so that the event with the smallest time stamp is extracted easily. A. True B. False
1. Suppose you are developing the simulation model of a communication system where the incoming calls are being served by a single service person. Assume the arrival of the calls as well as their service times are random. Identify some entities, attributes, activities, events and states variables for this simulation mode b. Is very necessary to carryout an output analysis of simulation model. Why? Are the output data from simulation normally distributed? Discuss your answer with example

SE Using cyclomatic complexity formula, calculate the number of basis path tests. You intend to develop an online voting system for general elections. The major use cases of the voting model system include authorizing User that includes simple users and the system's staff. The system manages election districts and election units. The election unit is the system counterpart of the “election center”. In the conceptual model, the election center is central to the election procedure, as it is the fundamental tallying point. The votes are casted using machines provided by the state and are places at the election center. The fundamental assumption of this system is that almost all citizens above a certain age should be able to participate in the election procedure. It is practically infeasible for election staff to manually enter all electors into the system. The system should thus be able to import an electronic list of electors. This system also manages different political parties and…
Read carefully the following case:Imagine that you work as an internal auditor for a company that owns several pharmacies throughout the city. Based on your audit plan, the first cycle to audit will be revenue. The first thing you do is document the processes related to receiving and processing the various sources of income. On your initial visit, you were able to observe the following:Once customers have the items to purchase, they head to the register, where a clerk processes the sale. The pharmacy has three cash registers, but does not have an employee who specifically works as a cashier at each one. This provides flexibility in the operation because, of the three employees that the business has, one can collect at any of the cashiers when available. By not having to leave a single person as a cashier, the cashier can focus on providing more direct customer service, refilling merchandise on the shelves, and even assisting in receiving or dispatching merchandise from the store.At the…
