A hospital dietitian prepares breakfast menus every morning for the hospital patients. Part of the dietitian's responsibility is to make sure that minimum daily requirements for vitamins A and B are met. At the same time, the cost of the menus must be kept as low as possible. The main breakfast staples providing vitamins A and B are eggs, bacon, and cereal. The vitamin requirements and vitamin contributions for each staple follow: Vitamin Contributions Minimum Daily Requirements Vitamin mg/Egg mg/Bacon Strip mg/Cereal Cup A 2 4 1 16 В 3 1 12 An egg costs $0.04, a bacon strip costs $0.03, and a cup of cereal costs $0.02. The dietitian wants to know how much of each staple to serve per order to meet the minimum daily vitamin require- ments while minimizing total cost. a. Formulate a linear programming model for this problem. b. Solve the model by using the computer.

PLEASE CODE IN PYTHON Problem Description Fiona commutes to work each day. If there is no rush-hour traffic, her commute time is 2 hours. However, there is often rush-hour traffic. Specifically, rush-hour traffic occurs from 07:00 (7am) until 10:00 (10am) in the morning and 15:00 (3pm) until 19:00 (7pm) in the afternoon. During rush-hour traffic, her speed is reduced by half. She leaves either on the hour (at XX:00), 20 minutes past the hour (at XX:20), or 40 minutes past the hour (at XX:40). Given Fiona's departure time, at what time does she arrive at work? Input Specification The input will be one line, which contains an expression of the form HH:MM, where HH is one of the 24 starting hours (00, 01, . . ., 23) and MM is one of the three possible departure minute times (00, 20, 40). Output Specification Output the time of Fiona's arrival, in the form HH:MM. Sample Input 1 05:00 Output for Sample Input 1 07:00 Explanation for Output for Sample Input 1 Fiona does not encounter any…
Purpose: One of the most commonly made decisions is based on comparing the means of multiple conditions. Significance tests for comparing means are critical in the decision making process. In this assignment, you will practice how to use t tests and ANOVA tests to compare the means of multiple conditions under one independent variable in different experiment design (between-group and within-group) Tasks: Please write an R script that performs the following operations in the order listed. At the beginning of each task, write a comment marking the task number. Name the file as: lab6-<your last name>.R ANOVA tests 8. Import the 'iris.csv' dataset. Browse and understand the data in each column 9. Compute descriptive statistics and create boxplot for sepal length and species. 10. Select the appropriate test to determine whether there is significant difference in sepal length between the three species. Follow the steps of ANOVA analysis. Make sure you check whether the assumptions are…

Problem C. Front Tooth ConcealmentYou have recently been appointed vice principal of a high school, and as such, you have the honor of helping out with their graduation ceremony. You will alternate reading off the names of the graduates with the principal. Unfortunately, you got your front teeth knocked out last night while fighting crime as a masked vigilante, so you are unable to pronounce any name containing the letters ‘s’ or ‘z’. Since you don’t want your enemies to learn of your secret identity, and you suspect that some of them may be present at graduation, you need to avoid saying any names containing the letters ‘s’ or ‘z’. You will read the first name from the list of graduates, meaning that you will also read the third, the fifth, the seventh, and so on. Therefore, you must ensure that all names at odd positions in the list of names (or at even indexes, since we start indexing at 0), do not contain the letters ‘s’ or ‘z’. Write a function avoid_sz(names_list) which takes in…
Problem Statement The plant manager of a toy manufacturing plant has been given an order for 10,000 new toys with a shipping date 10 weeks from now. He currently has 8 machines that produce 100 toys per week per machine, assuming one shift of 40 hours per week. He needs to know if the machines need to run overtime to meet the order and if so how much overtime is necessary. The goal is to minimize overtime. Calculate how many toys the 8 machines will produce in 10 weeks working one 40 hour shift. Do the machines need to run additional shifts (each shift for each machine is 40 hours per week)? Write a formula for calculating the number of weeks with an extra shift to meet this order in 10 weeks. Now, in actuality, the machines have been known to produce on the average 2 defective toys in a week (one shift) per machine. Also, the machines periodically require maintenance. This occurs on the average of 1 machine down for maintenance per week (one shift), with the maintenance requiring 1…
Lab 3 Periodic compounding The total accumulated value, including the principal sum P, is given by the formula: where: nt A = P(1+1) n² ● ● ● ● A is the final amount Accumulated Value P is the original principal sum r is the nominal annual interest rate n is the compounding frequency t is the overall length of time the interest is applied (expressed using the same time units as r, usually years). (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compound_interest) Using the above formula write a program that will display the following table. Principal-Value | Times-Interest-Compunded | Annual-Int-Rate | Term | Accumulated-Value 1000 6.00% 10 3.20% 15 2000 3000 9.25% 10 1 2 4 | You must use exponent operator to compute P Exponent Operator in Python is ** 1790.85 3219.89 7486.33
