In a decision-making problem, anchoring effects occur when
a seemingly trivial factor serves as a starting point for estimations
In the following expression, which is (are) the dependent variable(s)? PROFIT = REVENUE – EXPENSES. Profit
The categories of modeling techniques presented in this book include all of the following except: preventive models.
Which of the following categories of modeling techniques includes optimization techniques? Prescriptive models
What is the goal in optimization? Find the decision variable values that result in the best objective function and
satisfy all constraints.
The following linear programming problem has been written to plan the production of two products. The company wants to maximize its

Inflow − Outflow ≤ Supply or Demand
An oil company wants to create lube oil, gasoline and diesel fuel at two refineries. There are two sources of crude oil. Consider arc 2-4. The per unit shipping cost of crude B from source 2 (node 2) to refinery 2 (node 4) is $11 and the yield is 85 percent. The following flowchart depicts this problem. What is the balance of flow constraint for node 7 (Diesel)? .90 X37 + .95 X47 = 75
The objective function value for the ILP problem can never be better than the optimal solution to its LP relaxation.
If a company produces Product 1, then it must produce at least 150 units of Product 1. Which of the following constraints enforces this condition? X1 −150Y1 ≥0
If a company selects Project 1 then it must also select either Project 2 or Project 3. Which of the following constraints enforces this condition? X1−X2−X3≤0
Which of the following is a goal of decision analysis? Help individuals make good decisions
The decision with the smallest expected opportunity loss (EOL) will also have largest EMV
Expected regret is also called EOL.
The minimum EOL in a decision problem will always equal the EVPI.
The Byte computer company produces two models of computers, Plain and Fancy. It wants to plan how many computers to produce next month to maximize
I found the solution to the Woo’s problem by using the tools I mentioned above. I converted the problems constraints into inequalities and from there I was able to put all of them onto a graph and find the feasible region. Then from the prices given in the problem I was able to make my first profit line, and was able to find out the
There will be many different constraints in the database. An example of a constraint is one if the students' GPA will have to be between 0.00 and 4.00. Another example would be that each class can only have one instructor. There would be a constraint on the social security number ensuring that there are only nine numbers and in the format is xxx-xx-xxxx, and each individual number would be between 0 and 9. There would be a constraint for the telephone numbers as well. Each individual number would be between 0 and 9 in the format of (xxx)-xxx-xxxx.
The expected value approach is used to determine the expected value with perfect information (EVPI). The EVPI is obtained by subtracting the expected value without perfect information (EMV) from the EVPI.
Get the most out of the constraint when it is identified, or “exploit” it. The constraint must always be managed in specifically working this part of the process.
15) In an unbalanced transportation problem where total supply exceeds total demand, the supply constraints will typically have "≥" inequalities.
Cully furniture buys 2 products for resale: big shelves (B) and medium shelves (M). Each big shelf costs $500 and requires 100 cubic feet of storage space, and each medium shelf costs $300 and requires 90 cubic feet of storage space. The company has $75000 to invest in shelves this week, and the warehouse has 18000 cubic feet available for storage. Profit for each big shelf is $300 and for each medium shelf is $150. What is the storage space constraint?
In order to maximize the total profit, the monthly production plan should be 1900 unit/month for Model S and 650 unit/month
12) Suppose that we force the production of one unit of product A. The new objective function value will be
production and sales of Product A is 2,000 units and of Product B is 3,000 units. There are three activity cost
Write a constraint to ensure that if machine 4 is used, machine 1 will not be used.
Compute the projected profit for the order quantities suggested by the management team under three scenarios: worst case in which sales = 10,000 units, most likely case in which sales = 20,000 units, and best case in which sales = 30,000 units.
Problem #2.” (To make your life easier, optimal stocking quantity, Q, is computed by the
When considering operational constraints we looked at people, location, premises, equipment, money, materials, other related activities and services.
Let us understand what each specifies in the model and later we will discuss how informatics tools will cater to the aspects in these stages.
The first constraint is the maximum meals which would be prepared each night. The decision makers wanted to set a fixed maximum so they can get the right amount of ingredients and not produce any extra waste. The set number has been decided by the decision
