Textbook Question
Chapter 11.5, Problem 17E
The computer systems manager in mathematics department is asked to schedule two large projects. The tasks involved and the time required for each are shown in the table.
| Task | Code | Units of Time |
| Load project 1 | P1 | 8 |
| Load project 2 | P2 | 15 |
| Mount tape backup for project 1 | Tp | 11 |
| Purge printer queue | Q | 10 |
| Find printer for project 2 | P | 10 |
| Establish connection between the projects | C | 5 |
| Update project 1 | U | 20 |
| Send printer jobs to buffer | B | 25 |
The tape backup for project 1 cannot be mounted until project is loased. The printer for project 2 will not be found until project 2 is loaded and the printer queue is purged. The connection between the projects cannot be established until both projects are loaded. Project I will not be buffered until the printer queue is purged.
What kind of a scheduling problem is this? Explain.
Draw a network describing this project. Apply Dijsktra’s algorithm (first version) to find the least amount of time it will require to complete the project.
Describe the critical path. Also find the maximum amount of slack in each activity.

In Gallup's Annual Consumption Habits Poll, telephone interviews were conducted for a
random sample of 1014 adults aged 18 and over. One of the questions was, "How many
cups of coffee, if any, do you drink on an average day?" The following table shows the
results obtained (Gallup website, August 6, 2012).

Define a random variable x = number of cups of coffee consumed on an average day. Let
x=4 represent four or more cups.
a. Develop a probability distribution for x.
b. Compute the expected value of x.
c. Compute the variance of x.
d. Suppose we are only interested in adults who drink at least one cup of coffee on an
average day. For this group, let y = the number of cups of coffee consumed on an
average day. Compute the expected value of y and compare it to the expected value of x.

The predicted winning point margin was based on Las Vegas betting odds approximately
one week before the bowl games were played. For example, Auburn was predicted to beat
Northwestern in the Outback Bowl by five points. The actual winning point margin for Au-
burn was three points. A…
