Q3- You may need to use the appropriate technology to answer this question. The product development group at Landon Corporation has been working on a new computer software product that has the potential to capture a large market share. Through outside sources, Landon's management learned that a competitor is working to introduce a similar product. As a result, Landon's top management increased its pressure on the product development group. The group's leader turned to PERT/CPM as an aid to scheduling the activities remaining before the new product can be brought to the market. The activity time estimates (in weeks) are listed in the following table.

For his classes, Professor Wright gives three types of quizzes, objective, recall, and recall-plus. To keep his students on their toes, he has decided to give at least 20 quizzes next quarter. The three types, objective, recall, and recall-plus quizzes, require the students to spend, respectively, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, and 60 minutes for preparation, and Professor Wright would like them to spend at least 12 hours(720 minutes) preparing for these quizzes above and beyond the normal study time. An average score on an objective quiz is 5, on a recall type 6, and on a recall-plus 7, and Dr. Wright would like the students to score at least 130 points on all quizzes. It takes the professor one minute to grade an objective quiz, 2 minutes to grade a recall type quiz, and 3 minutes to grade a recall-plus quiz. How many of each type should he give in order to minimize his grading time?
Netflix made headlines in September 2011 when it split its streaming video service and its DVD by-mail service into two companies. This decision was based on projections that streaming videos will replace DVDs in the future. In this problem, you will explore these projections. Numbers below are close to the correct values, but vary to allow more practice with this idea. Total DVD and Blu-ray disc sales in 2009 were $8.72 billion. For the purposes of this problem, you will combine DVD and Blue-ray disk sales into one category of DVD sales. A study by In-Stat predicted that "physical disc sales will decline by $4.7 billion by 2014," and that "streaming, on the other hand, should grow from its current $2.1 billion to $6.3 billion over the same time period (2009–2014)." What is the slope, including units, of the model for streaming videos?
Kabaddi is a popular sport in South Asia. The basic rules of Kabaddi are simple: two teams of seven players each face off in a large square arena for two halves of twenty minutes each. Players from each team take turns running across the center line to the other team's half of the court ( called "raiding"), tagging members of the other team (4 people defending), and running back. The more opposing team members they tag, the more points they score (+1 point for each player he tags), but if the opposing team can physically prevent them from crossing back to their side of the court, they score no points. During the sports week, a kabaddi match is going to be scheduled between the students of Section A and C. Section A has 42 students while Section C has 35 students
Some students want to start a business that cleans and polishes cars. It takes 2.5 hours of labor and costs $1.5 in supplies to clean a car. It takes 1.5 hours of labor and costs $3 in supplies to polish a car. The students can work a total of 150 hours in one week. They also decide that they want to spend no more than $120 per week on supplies. The students expect to make a profit of $6.75 for each car that they clean and a profit of $9.50 for each car that they polish. The objective function is: * Maximize Z=7.75X1+8.5X2 Maximize Z=6.75 X1+9.5X2 Maximize Z=2.5X1+1.5X2 Maximize Z=9.5 X1+6.75X2
