(i) Write an equivalent formulation of this problem, to which the primal-dual algorithm can be applied. (ii) Write out the dual problem to the problem, which you formulated in (i). (iii) Solve the problem, which you formulated in (i), by the primal-dual algorithm using the dual feasible solution π = (0, -3). Write a full record of each iteration.arrow_forward2 4 + 4x 2x 8 || 12arrow_forward

What’s the chance that a randomly selected employee makes more than $30,000?What’s the chance that 36 randomly selected employees make more than $30,000, on average?arrow_forward
- What’s the chance that a fair coin comes up heads more than 60 times when you toss it 100 times?arrow_forwardSuppose that you have a normal population of quiz scores with mean 40 and standard deviation 10. Select a random sample of 40. What’s the chance that the mean of the quiz scores won’t exceed 45?Select one individual from the population. What’s the chance that his/her quiz score won’t exceed 45?arrow_forwardSuppose that you take a sample of 100 from a population that contains 45 percent Democrats. What sample size condition do you need to check here (if any)?What’s the standard error of ^P?Compare the standard errors of ^p n=100 for ,n=1000 , n=10,000, and comment.arrow_forward
- Suppose that a class’s test scores have a mean of 80 and standard deviation of 5. You choose 25 students from the class. What’s the chance that the group’s average test score is more than 82?arrow_forwardSuppose that you collect data on 10 products and check their weights. The average should be 10 ounces, but your sample mean is 9 ounces with standard deviation 2 ounces. Find the standard score.What percentile is the standard score found in part a of this question closest to?Suppose that the mean really is 10 ounces. Do you find these results unusual? Use probabilities to explain.arrow_forwardSuppose that you want to sample expensive computer chips, but you can have only n=3 of them. Should you continue the experiment?arrow_forward
