Operations Research: Simplex Tableau
Not what you're looking for?
Use the Simplex Tableau Method to solve the following linear programming problem.
Maximise z=5x1 + 3x2
subject to:
4x1 + 2x2 <= 15
4x1 + x2 <= 10
x1 + x2 <=4
and xj >= 0, j =1,2.
Use the optimal tableau above to answer the following.
i) State the maximum value of z.
ii) State the values of all the basic variables at the optimal point.
iii) Write the objective function in terms of the non-basic variables.
iv) Write each of the basic variables in terms of the non-basic variables.
v) At the optimal point, which of the three constraints are active and which are inactive. Justify your answer.

- "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."
