TRUE OR FALSE
The simplex method is a linear programming procedure designed to handle only three variables
A roller coaster is being designed for a new theme park. Two "trains" are on the track
at any given time. One train is being unloaded/reloaded while the other is moving
along the track. The track itself takes 10 minutes to complete. The train being loaded
should depart before the arriving train is no closer than one minute away.
Each car of a train accommodates four people. Loading a car is estimated to take 6
seconds per passenger. Unloading is estimated to take 6 seconds per passenger.
Suppose that (unlike actual roller coasters), only one car can be loaded or unloaded
at a time. Unloading can NOT occur at the same time as loading.
In order to maximize the number of potential passengers, how many cars should the
train be made up of? Round your answer to the nearest whole car.
FRUIT COMPUTER COMPANY
Fruit Computer Company manufactures memory chips in batches of ten chips. From past experience, Fruit knows that 80% of all batches contain 10% (1 out of 10) defective chips, and 20% of all batches contain 50% (5 out of 10) defective chips. If a good (that is, 10% defective) batch of chips is sent to the next stage of production, processing costs of $4000 are incurred, and if a bad batch (50% defective) is sent on to the next stage of production, processing costs of $16000 are incurred. Fruit also has the alternative of reworking a batch at a cost of $4000. A reworked batch is sure to be a good batch. Alternatively, for a cost of $400, Fruit can test one chip from each batch in an attempt to determine whether the batch is defective.
QUESTIONS
1.Determine a strategy so Fruit can minimize the expected total cost per batch.
2.Compute the EVSI and EVPI.

- A large building may require an automated alarm system which monitors and controls all fire and security alarms in the building. Normally, the building is divided into zones and a number of alarms are associated with each zone. Alarms alert a central manned control area who may pass these on to the emergency services or may respond personally.Factors which have to be taken into account in building such a system are:Ø If the control area is unmanned and an alarm is activated this alarm should not be ignored if it is potentially serious. Emergency services should be automatically called.Ø Some but not all parts of the building may be equipped with sprinkler systems or systems to shut down electrical equipment. These should be activated if a fire alarm is confirmed. They should not be activated if there are people in the same room.Ø The building may be equipped with direction indicators which illuminate the route to the nearest exit.

The data members of the Song class are String objects representing the song title, artist’s name and the album where the song can be found. These instance variables for the class are to have private access modifiers so you will need to write the appropriate methods to allow the client to access the data values. In accordance with good programming practice you are to override the equals and toString methods. In addition, this class is going to be used in a Collection that is to be sorted, so it is to implement the Comparable interface.A second class is to be written called SongList that contains a main method that reads in a file name via the command line.

Meritor has designed each cell to fabricate a specific family of muffler products. Fabricating a muffler assembly involves cutting and bending pieces of pipe that are welded to a muffler and a catalytic converter. The mufflers and catalytic converters are pulled into the cell based on current demand. The catalytic converters are made in a specialized cell. Catalytic converters are made in batches of 10 units and are moved in special hand carts to the fabrication cells. The catalytic converter cell is designed so that different types of catalytic converters can be made with virtually no setup loss. Meritor hires a team of consultants. The consultants suggest a partial robotic automation as well as the safety stock to be 9 percent. Meritor implements these suggestions. The result is an increase in efficiency in both the…arrow_forward
