Explanation of Solution

Determining which investment strategy is the best:

It is given that the person currently has $100. Each week the user can invest any amount of money he or she currently have in a risky investment. With probability 0.40, the amount the user invest is tripled and with probability 0.60, the amount invested is lost.

First, let us calculate the shipping model for 100 crew members. Hence, the data given will be as follows:

λ=0.66 per day 2 ships every 3 daysμ=1 dayNumber of servers = 100

Here, λ is the average rate of the ships entering the system and μis the service rate.

In the given MMs Template, the above-mentioned details are entered in the highlighted cells B4:B7 appropriately. The screenshot is as shown below:

Once the above details are entered, click on “Click here” button. We can see that the other details are updated automatically because of the built-in formulas. The screenshot is as shown below:

Now, calculate the shipping model for 70 crew members. Hence, the data given will be as follows:

λ=1 per day μ=1.5 dayNumber of servers = 70

Here, λ is the average rate of the ships entering the system and μis the service rate.

In the given MMs Template, the above-mentioned details are entered in the highlighted cells B4:B7 appropriately. The screenshot is as shown below:

Once the above details are entered, click on "Click here” button. We can see that the other details are updated automatically because of the built-in formulas.

The screenshot is as shown below:

It is given that a fixed cost of $30 is incurred on every crew member per day

1. Create a Person.java file. Implement the public Person and Student classes in Person.java, including all the variables and methods in the UMLS. Person -name: String -street: String -city: String +Person(String name, String, street, String, city) +getName(): String +setName(String name): void +getStreet(): String +setStreet(String street): void +getCity(): String +setCity(String City): void +toString(): String Student -Id: int +Person(String name, String, street, String, city, int Id) +getId(): int +setId(int Id): void +toString(): String 2. Create a StudentTest.java file. Implement a public StudentTest class with a main method. In the main method, create one student object and print the object using System.out.println(). Your printing result must follow the example output: name: Mike, street: Morris Ave, city: Union, Id: 1000 Hint: You need to modify the toString methods in the Student class and Person class!
