1. For each distribution listed, provide an example from your work that may be modeled using that distribution.
a. Multinomial distribution
b. Poisson distribution.
c. Exponential distribution d. Normal distribution.
2. For the scenario that follows, solve by hand and then solve using the Excel functions POISSON and EXPONDIST. The time between arrival of patients to an urgent care center follows an exponential distribution with a mean of 30 minutes.
a. What is the probability that exactly six patients will arrive in the next 90 minutes?
b. What is the probability that at least two patients will arrive in the next 60 minutes?
c. What is the probability that no patients will arrive in the next 60 minutes?
3. Conduct Internet research to determine three feasible alternative packages you might employ for discrete-event simulation. Rate the packages based on documented ease of use, cost, and ability to simulate health care scenarios.
