a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The reason why managers are forced to use simulation in dealing with the problem of inventory order policy.

Introduction: Simulation is a model that can be used in operations, which would imitate the real world process. Simulation uses random sampling for the generation of realistic variability.

Question 3 A frequency distribution is given below: Class A B с D Frequency 7 9 9 Calculate the probability of class C occurring using the Relative Frequency method. Express your answer as an decimal rounded to two (2) decimal places.
Problem 7-09 (Algorithmic) Hawkins Manufacturing Company produces connecting rods for 4- and 6-cylinder automobile engines using the same production line. The cost required to set up the production line to produce the 4-cylinder connecting rods is $1,400, and the cost required to set up the production line for the 6-cylinder connecting rods is $3,100. Manufacturing costs are $15 for each 4-cylinder connecting rod and $18 for each 6-cylinder connecting rod. Hawkins makes a decision at the end of each week as to which product will be manufactured the following week. If a production changeover is necessary from one week to the next, the weekend is used to reconfigure the production line. Once the line has been set up, the weekly production capacities are 6,500 6-cylinder connecting rods and 8,200 4-cylinder connecting rods. Let X4 = the number of 4-cylinder connecting rods produced next week X6 = the number of 6-cylinder connecting rods produced next week S4= 1 if the production line is…
Question 1:  Market planning, Inc. a marketing research firm, has obtained the prescription sales data for 20 independent pharmacies (attached).  In this table y is the average weekly prescription sales over the past year (in units of $1,000), x­1 is the floor space (in square feet), x2 is the percentage of floor space allocated to the prescription department, x3 is the number of parking spaces available to the store, x4 is the weekly per capita income for the surrounding community (in units of $100), and x5 is a dummy variable that equals 1 if the pharmacy is located in a shopping center and 0 otherwise.  Regress average weekly prescription sales against different combinations of the independent variables.  What is the best model?  Discuss what the parameter coefficients say about prescription sales.
