Use the following information to answer Questions 24-30. The manager of Wash Me car-wash center has built a simulation model to simulate and analyze the center’s service processes. Based on 10 simulation runs, the manager calculates that the average cycle time has a sample mean of 30 min and a standard deviation of 10 min. Please answer the following questions. Answer Questions 26-28 also considering the following information In order to reduce Wash-Me’s average cycle time, an improved system has been proposed and simulated. After 10 simulation runs, the new system’s average cycle time has a sample mean of 25 min and a standard deviation of 12 min. The manager would like to conduct a proper hypothesis test to see if the new system is better than the old system at 10% significance level. What is the null hypothesis (H0)?

Use the following information to answer Questions 2-19. Suppose you are leading a team to help H&R Block (a tax preparation company) improve its tax preparation service process. After several field trips to the company, you decided that tax preparation process consists of two activities: (i) preparing necessary documents (DocPrep, hereafter) performed by a team led by Ted, followed by (ii) completing tax return forms (FormPrep, hereafter) performed by a team led by Mary. You built the following model in ExtendSim to simulate this process (also available from Flow chart base model.pdf in case the picture does not show up). To specify the processing time of DocPrep, you have collected enough field data and decided to use the build-in distribution fitting software Stat::Fit. The first step of data fitting is:

You built the following model in ExtendSim to simulate this process (also available from Flow chart base model.pdf in case the picture does not show up). Answer Questions 6-8 also considering the following information Now you have fully specified the simulation model. You run the simulation with the end time set to 10,000 min and the number of runs set to 1. You obtain the following statistics from the Results tabs in the dialogs of Queue 1 (also available from Queue 1.pdf) and DocPrep (also available from DocPrep.pdf). On average, how long does a new request spend in H&R Block until it is ready for tax form preparation?
