a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: Sequence of jobs based on decision rule Earliest Due Date (EDD).

Introduction: Earliest Due Date is the scheduling rule, which helps to arrange the sequence in the order. Here, job with the earliest due date would be served first. Then, the process would be going on from earliest due date to latest due date..

b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The average job tardiness for the sequence determined using EDD

Introduction: Earliest Due Date is the scheduling rule, which helps to arrange the sequence in the order. Here, job with the earliest due date would be served first. Then, the process would be going on from earliest due date to latest due date.

c)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The average number of jobs for the sequence determined using EDD

Introduction: Earliest Due Date is the scheduling rule, which helps to arrange the sequence in the order. Here, job with the earliest due date would be served first. Then, the process would be going on from earliest due date to latest due date.

d)

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether the SPT would have better result in terms of job tardiness than EDD.

Introduction: Shortest Processing Tine is the scheduling rule, which helps to arrange the sequence in the order. Here, job with the shortest duration would be served first. Then, the process would be going on from shortest to largest duration.

Major League Baseball's World Series is a maximum of seven games, with the winner being the first team to win four games. Assume that the Atlanta Braves and the Minnesota Twins are playing in the World Series and that the first two games are to be played in Atlanta, the next three games at the Twins' ballpark, and the last two games, if necessary, back in Atlanta. Taking into account the projected starting pitchers for each game and the home field advantage, suppose the probabilities of Atlanta winning each game are as follows. Game 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Probability of Win 0.61 0.56 0.47 0.44 0.47 0.54 0.49 Construct a simulation model in which whether Atlanta wins or loses each game is a random variable. Use the model to answer the following questions. (Use at least 1,000 trials.) (a) What is the average number of games played regardless of winner? (Round your answer to one decimal place.) games (b) What is the probability that the Atlanta Braves win the World Series? (Round your answer to…
Model File Available: Download NBAGIMS.xlsx The Iowa Wolves are scheduled to play against the Maine Red Claws in an upcoming game in the National Basketball Association (NBA) G League. Because a player in the NBA G League is still developing his skills, the number of points he scores in a game can vary substantially. Develop a spreadsheet model that simulates the points scored by each team. Assume that each player's point production can be represented as an integer uniform variable with the ranges provided in the following table. (Use at least 1,000 trials.) Player Iowa Wolves Maine Red Claws 1 [5, 20] [6, 12] 2 [7, 20] [15, 20] 3 [5, 10] [10, 20] 4 [10, 40] [15, 30] 5 [7, 20] [6, 10] 6 [2, 10] [1, 20] 7 [2, 5] [1, 4] 8 [2,4] [2,4] (a) Consider the points scored by the Iowa Wolves team.

The wedding date for a couple is quickly approaching, and the wedding planner must provide the caterer an estimate of how many people will attend the reception so that the appropriate quantity of food is prepared for the buffet. The following table contains information on the number of RSVP guests for the 145 invitations. Unfortunately, the number of guests does not always correspond to the number of RSVPed guests. Based on her experience, the wedding planner knows it is extremely rare for guests to attend a wedding if they notified that they will not be attending. Therefore, the wedding planner will assume that no one from these 50 invitations will attend. The wedding planner estimates that the each of the 25 guests planning to come solo has a 74% chance of attending alone, a 20% chance of not attending, and a 6% chance of bringing a companion. For each of the 60 RSVPs who plan to bring a companion, there is a 90% chance that they will attend with a companion, a 4% chance of attending…
