In preparing for the upcoming holiday season, Fresh Toy Company (FTC) designed a new doll called The Dougie that teaches children how to dance. The fixed cost to produce the doll is $100,000. The variable cost, which includes material, labor, and shipping costs, is $32 per doll. During the holiday selling season, FTC will sell the dolls for $40 each. If FTC overproduces the dolls, the excess dolls will be sold in January through a distributor who has agreed to pay FTC $10 per doll. Demand for new toys during the holiday selling season is extremely uncertain. Forecasts are for expected sales of 60,000 dolls with a standard deviation of 15,000.

Kabaddi is a popular sport in South Asia. The basic rules of Kabaddi are simple: two teams of seven players each face off in a large square arena for two halves of twenty minutes each. Players from each team take turns running across the center line to the other team's half of the court ( called "raiding"), tagging members of the other team (4 people defending), and running back. The more opposing team members they tag, the more points they score (+1 point for each player he tags), but if the opposing team can physically prevent them from crossing back to their side of the court, they score no points. During the sports week, a kabaddi match is going to be scheduled between the students of Section A and C. Section A has 42 students while Section C has 35 students
