Question 1: Consider a simulation model of the daily average cycle time for a product in a manufacturing system.

1) Which type of simulation is appropriate to analyze this system: terminating or nonterminating?

2) Suppose you have run the model for 10 independent replications and have collected the following data

a. Calculate a 99% confidence interval for the expected daily average cycle time

b. On a future day, predict the average cycle time for all parts produced on that day with a 99% confidence.

\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|} \hline Replication & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 & 10 \\ \hline Avg cycle time & 0.897 & 1.017 & 0.652 & 0.629 & 1.450 & 0.416 & 0.245 & 1.092 & 0.657 & 0.569 \\ \hline \end{tabular}
