B) Consumes much computer time
C) Provides at best approximate solution to problem
D) All of the above

Accepted Answer

Simulation involves significant model building, programming efforts, can be time-consuming, and often yields approximate solutions, making "All of the above" the correct choice.

Question 6

Simulation is defined as
A) A technique that uses computers
B) An approach for reproducing the processes by which events by chance & changes are created in a computer
C) A procedure for testing & experimenting on models to answer what if ___, then so & so ___ types of questions
D) All of the above

Accepted Answer

Simulation encompasses all the given definitions: it is a technique often utilizing computers to replicate processes and events, allowing for experimentation and the exploration of 'what if' scenarios.
