- using the assignement model solve question 25 in the given imagearrow_forwardProblem: A bicycle shop Zed and Adrian and run a small bicycle shop called "Z to A Bicycles". They must order bicycles for the coming season. Orders for the bicycles must be placed in quantities of twenty (20). The cost per bicycle is $70 if they order 20, $67 if they order 40, $65 if they order 60, and $64 if they order 80. The bicycles will be sold for $100 each. Any bicycles left over at the end of the season can be sold (for certain) at $45 each. If Zed and Adrian run out of bicycles during the season, then they will suffer a loss of "goodwill" among their customers. They estimate this goodwill loss to be $5 per customer who was unable to buy a bicycle. Zed and Adrian estimate that the demand for bicycles this season will be 10, 30, 50, or 70 bicycles with probabilities of 0.2, 0.4, 0.3, and 0.1 respectively.

After some research he determines that professionals use Nikon, Canon, Sony and Fuji. In addition, he would like the camera to have interchangeable lenses, and both manual and automatic settings. However, John is still a student, and he cannot afford to spend more than $500. He decides that, since money is the limiting factor, he will make a list of all cameras he can find that sell for under $500. Next, because interchangeable lenses are very important to a professional, he strikes off of his list all the cameras that do not have that feature. If more than one camera is left on the list, he will look at whether one has both manual and automatic settings, etc. What decision rule is John using?
