In light of the recent death of former President Noynoy Aquino, the current government believes that no more Aquino is fit to lead the country, and therefore, also believes that their family has already lost relevance, the Philippine Government plans to demolish the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA). In its place, they shall build the new Paliparang Pandaigdig ng Pilipinas (PaPa Pi). Its manager, Papa P, is given a choice between two models: Model A, which is a relatively simple model that is a reasonable approximation of the airport to be built; and Model B, a thorough and complex model that almost resembles the exact plan for the proposed building. Model B is the most accurate possible representation of the future PaPa Pi to be built. Why might Papa P prefer to use Model A?

A state university is buying computers and has narrowed it down to two different models that they would like to purchase, the Pear and the iNac. Each Pear has 160 GB of memory and 160 TB of disk space and each iNac has 480 GB of memory and 80 TB of disk space. For accreditation reasons the school would like to be able to say they have a total of at least 43200 GB of memory and at least 19200 TB of disk space. If the Pears cost $2200 each and the iNacs cost $1000 each, how many of each computer should they get to minimize cost.

The Center for Information Technology at State Univer-sity has outgrown its office in Bates (B) Hall and is mov-ing to Allen (A) Hall, which has more space. The move will take place during the three-week break between the end of summer semester and the beginning of fall semes-ter. Movers will be hired from the university’s physical plant to move the furniture, boxes of books, and files thatthe faculty will pack. The center has hired a local retailcomputer firm to move its office computers so they willnot be damaged. Following is a list of activities, theirprecedence relationships, and probabilistic time estimatesfor this project:Determine the earliest and latest start and finish times, thecritical path, and the expected project duration.

The Enormous State University's Business School is buying computers. The school has two models to choose from, the Pomegranate and the iZac. Each Pomegranate comes with 400 GB of memory and 80 TB of disk space, while each iZac has 300 GB of memory and 100 TB of disk space. For reasons related to its accreditation, the school would like to be able to say that it has a total of at least 50,000 GB of memory and at least 12,400 TB of disk space. If both the Pomegranate and the iZac cost $1,800 each, how many of each should the school buy to keep the cost as low as possible?
The head of the department of management at Mitil University has noticed that the four secretaries in the department office seem to spend a lot of time answering questions from students that could better be answered by the college advising office, by the faculty advisors, or simply from the available literature; that is, course schedules, catalogs, the students handbook, and so on. As a result the department head is considering remodeling the office with cubicles so student do not have easy access to the secretaries. However, before investing in this project the head has decided to conduct a work sampling study to determine the proportion of time the secretaries spend assisting students. The head arranged for a graduate assistant to make observation for the sample, but the graduate student's schedule enabled her to make only 300 random observations in the time allotted of the time, somewhat less than the head anticipated. a. Given the number of observations that were included in the…

According to http://www.gasandoil.com/goc/news/ntl50398.htm , accessed on Feb 2, 2005, “17-12-04 Jamaica has found signs of oil in 10 exploratory wells drilled into deep underground structures. Now it's come to Houston looking for oil companies willing to help the island nation, which depends heavily on tourism, bauxite and alumina, to become the world's next oil and natural gas producer. Hopeful Jamaican officials traveled to Houston promoting the nation's first formal license round, offering 22 offshore blocks and four on-shore blocks. "There are plenty of reserves yet to be found -- exploration in new frontiers is now warranted," said Raymond Wright of the Petroleum Corporation of Jamaica, reflecting on the world's supply dilemma. Oil explorers order seismic tests to determine whether oil is likely to be found in a certain drilling area. These seismic tests have a known reliability: When oil exists the tests indicate so 85% of the time and when oil does not exist the…
