1. Consider the following linear programming problem:

Maximize 10x + 7y subject to:
X + 3y (less than or equal to symbol) 10
2x -y (less than or equal to symbol) 8
x (greater than or equal to symbol) 0, y (greater than or equal to symbol) 0

The initial simplex tableau is:
(for choices, please see attachment)

2. The particular solution corresponding to the simplex tableau (see attachment) is:

a. x = 2, y = 6, u = 10, v = 0, M = 0
b. x = 2, y = 6, u = 0, v = 0, M = 10
c. x = 6, y = 0, u = 2, v = 0, M =10
d. x = 6, y = 0, u = 6, v = 0, M = 10
e. none of the above

3. The result of pivoting the simplex tableau (see attachment) about -2 (1st row, 1st column) is:
(for choices, please see attachment)

4. Consider the simplex tableau (see attachment). The tableau is the final one in a problem to maximize x + 2y + 3z.
The maximum value of x + 2y + 3z is:

a. -19
b. -12
c. 0
d. 19
e. none of the above

5. In the following simplex tableau, the next pivot element is (see attachment for tableau):

a. 4 in the second row, first column
b. -3 in the third row, first column
c. 8 in the second row, fourth column
d. 1 in the first row, second column
e. none of the above

6. Consider the following linear programming problem:

Maximize 3x -y subject to:
6x -5y (less than or equal to symbol) 24
x + 9y (greater than or equal to symbol) 63
x (greater than or equal to symbol) 0
y (greater than or equal to symbol) 0

  • "Your solution, looks excellent. I recognize things from previous chapters. I have seen the standard deviation formula you used to get 5.154. I do understand the Central Limit Theorem needs the sample size (n) to be greater than 30, we have 100. I do understand the sample mean(s) of the population will follow a normal distribution, and that CLT states the sample mean of population is the population (mean), we have 143.74. But when and WHY do we use the standard deviation formula where you got 5.154. WHEN & Why use standard deviation of the sample mean. I don't understand, why don't we simply use the "100" I understand that standard deviation is the square root of variance. I do understand that the variance is the square of the differences of each sample data value minus the mean. But somehow, why not use 100, why use standard deviation of sample mean? Please help explain."
