support towards my thesis writing and research. The study would have been much overwhelming and thesis topic more complicated, if it was not the guidance and support of the people First of all, my sincere thanks credit to the dedication of my academic supervisors, [name of the supervisors], for their useful inputs and discussions during the study. Secondly, am grateful to the support from the MTN Nigeria of the data provided during the study to make these research a success. Thanks also to my family

solving through the generation of random numbers and then observing a fraction of these numbers and the properties they obey. It is useful in obtaining numerical solutions to problems that are too complicated for analytical solutions. It is a form of probability used to understand the impact of risk and uncertainty in various areas such as financial and cost forecasting. It involves computation of the likelihood of given events occurring or not occurring, without taking into account the interaction of the

Probability Distribution in Research Simulation Sheil Merrill RES/341 August 16, 2011 Richard Harrell Aquine is ready to take a greater share of the chronometer market. As you know the chronometer market is the highest priced watch market with chronometers being sold for more than five thousand dollars. It is Aquine’s goal to compete with the established chronometer manufacturers Zweiger, Scheobel, and Waechter. This was the primary reason why Chief Executive Officer Howard Gray hired

Discrete-Event System Simulation 1 Introduction to Simulation A simulation is the imitation of the operation of a real-world process or system over time. Whether done by hand or on a computer, simulation involves the generation of an artificial history of a system, and the observation of that artificial history to draw inferences concerning the operating characteristics of the real system. The behavior of a system as it evolves over time is studied by developing a simulation model. This model

Chapter 1 Discrete Probability Distributions 1.1 Simulation of Discrete Probabilities Probability In this chapter, we shall first consider chance experiments with a finite number of possible outcomes ω1 , ω2 , . . . , ωn . For example, we roll a die and the possible outcomes are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 corresponding to the side that turns up. We toss a coin with possible outcomes H (heads) and T (tails). It is frequently useful to be able to refer to an outcome of an experiment. For example, we might
