Chapter 3.4, Problem 11CP
(a) Consider the natural cubic spline through the world population data points in Computer Problem 3.1.1. Evaluate the year 1980 and compare with the correct population. (b) Using a linear spline, estimate the slopes at 1960 and 2000, and use these slopes to find the clamped cubic spline through the data. Plot the spline and estimate the 1980 population. Which estimates better, natural or clamped?

Tri-County Utilities, Inc., supplies natural gas to customers in a three-county area. The company purchases natural gas from two companies: Southern Gas and Northwest Gas.
Demand forecasts for the coming winter season are as follows: Hamilton County, 400 units; Butler County, 200 units; and Clermont County, 300 units. Contracts to provide the following quantities have been written: Southern Gas, 500 units; and Northwest Gas, 400 units. Distribution costs for the counties vary, depending upon the location of the suppliers. The distribution costs per unit (in thousands of dollars)
are as follows.

- As discussed in Section 8.3, the Markowitz model uses the variance of the portfolio as the measure of risk. However, variance includes deviations both below and above the mean return. Semivariance includes only deviations below the mean and is considered by many to be a better measure of risk. (a) Develop a model that minimizes semivariance for the Hauck Financial data given in the file HauckData with a required return of 10%. Assume that the five planning scenarios in the Hauck Financial Services model are equally likely to occur. Hint: Modify model (8.10)–(8.19).
