Total marks: 80
Total time: 3 Hours
INSTRUCTIONS
(1) Question 1 is compulsory.
(2) Attempt any three from the remaining questions.
(3) Draw neat diagrams wherever necessary.

1.b The sequence of numbers 0.63, 0.49, 0.24, 0.89 and 0.71 has been generated. Use the Komogorov-Smirnov test with $\alpha$= 0.05 to determine if the hypothesis that the numbers are uniformly distributed on the interval[0,1] can be rejected. Use D$_{0.05}$= 0.565

2.a A firm sells bulk rolls of newsprint. The daily demand is given by the following probability distribution:

Daily Demand (Rolls) 3 4 5 6
Probability 0.20 0.35 0.30 0.15

Lead time is a random variable given by the following distribution:

Lead Time (Days) 1 2 3
Probability 0.36 0.42 0.22

Determine the lead-time demand for 5 cycles of simulation. Random digits for lead time and demand are as follows:

R.D for Lead Time 46 75 86 27 63
Probability 4 5 4 5 6 3 4 4 6 4
