The following data show the average asking rent for 10 markets and the monthly mortgage on the median priced home (including taxes and insurance) for 10 cities where the average monthly mortgage payment was less than the average asking rent (The Wall Street Journal, November 26–27, 2011).Click on the datafile logo to reference the data.

- The Crazy Nut Company wishes to market two special nut mixes during the holiday season. The Fancy Mix contains 0.5 pound of peanuts and 0.5 pound of cashews. The Deluxe Mix contains 0.6pound of peanuts, 0.2 pound of cashews and 0.15 pound of almonds. Fancy Mix sells for $12 per can and Deluxe Mix sells for $16 per can. The data pertinent to the raw ingredients appear in the table. The Crazy can sell all cans of either mix that it produces, but wants to keep the production quantity of Fancy Mix at least twice as many as Deluxe Mix. Formulate an LP model to determine how many of each mix to produce to maximize the total profit. Do not solve it. You can formulate as a spreadsheet model or an algebraic model.

- Here we have data that represent the results of a study comparing different viewing distances for a 42 inch high definition television. Four viewing distances were evaluated, 9 feet, 12 feet, 15 feet and 18 feet. Each participant watched a 30 minute television program from one of the distances and then rated the viewing distance on a scale from 1 (Very Bad, definitely need to move closer or father away) to 7 (excellent, perfect viewing distance). The following day, the participants returned and watched another program from a different distance. This process continued until all five participants had experienced and rated all four distances.
