(a) During MCO, a bookstore sold 3 units of dictionaries, and 3 units of comics, and purchased 2 units of novels on day one. On day two, the bookstore purchased 3 units of novels and sold 4 units of dictionaries, and one unit of comic. On the third day, the bookstore sold 2 units of dictionaries, one unit of novel, and purchased 2 units of comic. The bookstore earned RM 100 on day one, RM 90 on day two and RM 120 on day three after the sales and purchases. Given the price of dictionary, novel, and comic are x, y. and z ringgit per unit respectively. AN, UN Write the system of linear equations. Hence, determine the prices per unit of dictionary, comic, and novel. Find the inverse matrix using Gauss-Jordan elimination method on augmented matrix. Hence, solve the system of linear equations using the inverse matrix.

Suppose the entire cola industry produces only two colas. Given that a person last purchased cola 1, there a 70% chance that her next purchase will be cola 1. Given that a person last purchased cola 2, there is an 75% chance that her next purchase will be cola 2. Suppose that each customer makes one purchase of cola during any week (52 weeks=1 year). Suppose there are 150 million customers. One selling unit of cola costs the company $0.5 to produce and is sold for $2. For $200 million per year, Britney Spears (by an advertising song) guarantees to decrease from 30% to 15% the fraction of cola 1 customers who switch to cola 2 after a purchase. Should the company that makes cola 1 hire Britney Spears?
A building contains 1000 lightbulbs. Each bulb lasts at most five months. The company maintaining the building is trying to decide whether it is worthwhile to practice a “group replacement” policy. Under a group replacement policy, all bulbs are replaced every T months (where T is to be determined). Also, bulbs are replaced when they burn out. Assume that it costs $0.05 to replace each bulb during a group replacement and $0.20 to replace each burned-out bulb if it is replaced individually. How would you use simulation to determine whether a group replacement policy is worthwhile?
f. A drapper is required to supply two types of shirts type A and type B. The total number of shirts must not be more than 400. He has to supply more of type A than type B. However, the number of type A must not be more than 300 and the number of type B shirts must not be less than 80. Let x be the number of type A shirts and y be the number of type B shirts. If the profits were as follows: Type A Ksh 600 per shirt Type B Ksh 400 per shirt. Formulate a Linear Optimization Model, hence use the graphical method to determine the number of shirts of each type that should be made to maximize the profit.

Each box of Healthy Crunch breakfast cereal contains a coupon entitling you to afree package of garden seeds. At the Healthy Crunch home office, they use the weightof incoming mail to determine how many of their employees are to be assigned tocollecting coupons and mailing out seed packages on a given day. (Healthy Crunch hasa policy of answering all its mail on the day it is received.)Let x = weight of incoming mail and y = number of employees required to process themail in one working day.

In a section of an English 201 class, the professor decides to be "generous" with the students and will grade the exam in a unique way. Grades will be assigned according to the follwing rule: the top receives A's, the next 20% receive B's, the middle 40% receive C's, the next 20% receive D's, and the bottom 10% receive F's. Some may refer to this as "curving" The 40 grades were as follows: 30, 53, 88, 69, 77, 57, 58, 43, 63, 51, 69, 88, 86, 84, 50, 83, 91, 76, 57, 90, 45, 79, 41, 80, 62, 66, 71, 58, 92, 85, 57, 74, 63, 60, 99, 85, 70, 93, 67, 53 Do you think ths method of grading is fair to all students? Explain your answer 2. Under what circumstances would some students NOT like this method of grading? 3. Find the lowest score on the final exam that would qualify a student for an A, a B, a C, and a D 4. After doing the previous 3 parts explain the term "grading on a curve" what does it involve? what curve is it referring to?
