Find the optimal value of the given LP model
A farmer wants to decide which of the three crops he should plant on his 100-acre farm. The profit from each is dependent on the rainfall during the growing seasons. The farmer has categorized the amount of rainfall as high, medium, low. His estimated profit for each is shown in the table. If the farmer wishes to plant only one crop, decide which will be his choice using the EMV rule, prove your judgement by comparing the EMV of each crop. (Indicate the EMV in each crop, comparison and the right choice).
The service charge for repairs at an automobile service center is based on a standard time specified for each type of repair. The time specified for the replacement of the universal joint a driveshaft is one hour. To better serve the customers, the management would like to change the time specified in their service fee rates. The manager reviews such repairs and assumed that the workers are working faster than the standard time. The manager observed 30 of such repairs and gets an average repair time of 0.86 hours with a standard deviation of 0.32 hours. Test at the 1% level of significance the null hypothesis for the actual average time for this repair. Show the following steps. a. Formulation of the hypothesis and identifying the claimb. Determining what test to be usedc. Identifying the significance level and critical valued. Computation of the test statistice. Comparing the absolute value of the computed test statictic and critical value, decide whether null hypothesis is accepter…

- Use the Massey Method with a 10 max point differential for the following system: During the Early Part of the Season: Team B beats C by 8 points. Team D beats E by 5 points. During the Middle Part of the Season: Team A beats D by 10 points. Team E beats C by 5 points. During the Later Part of the Season: Team A beats E by 4. Team E beats B by 20 points. a. Draw a directed graph of this the season. Note that this question asks you to cap the point differential. b. Write the system of equations for this season using the Massey method. c. Solve the system (using least squares) to find the ratings for each team, and use those ratings to rank them.arrow_forwardDave Fletcher was able to determine the activity times for constructing his laser scanning machine.

- I need the Maximum target group exposurearrow_forwardA college bookstore must order books two months before each semester starts. They believe that the number of books that will ultimately be sold for any particular course is related to the number of students registered for the course when the books are ordered. They would like to develop a bestfitting line to predict how many books to order. From past records, the bookstore obtains the number of students registered, X, and the number of books actually sold for a course, Y , for 12 different semesters.A scatterplot of the data along with the best fitting line is presented below. a. The correlation between the two variables is r = .89. Calculate and interpret the value of r2.b. The equation for the best fitting line is Y = 9.30 + 0.673X. Explain and interpret the value of 9.30.c. How many books should the store order for a class of 50 students?
