Suppose that
Since 75% of the untenured faculty remains untenured at the beginning of the year t+1.
Thus, the number of untenured faculty in the beginning of the year t+1 is given below:
Also, 20% of all untenured faculties become tenured and 90% of the tenured faculty remains tenured at the beginning of the year t+1.
Therefore, the number of tenured faculties in the beginning of the year t+1 is as follows:

At the beginning of the first day (day 1) after grape harvesting is completed, a grape grower has 8000 kg of grapes in storage. On day n, for n = 1, 2, . . . ,the grape grower sells 250n/(n + 1) kg of the grapes at the local market at the priceof $2.50 per kg. He leaves the rest of the grapes in storage where each day they dryout a little so that their weight decreases by 3%. Let wn be the weight (in kg) ofthe stored grapes at the beginning of day n for n ≥ 1 (before he takes any to themarket).(a) Find the value of wn for n = 2.(b) Find a recursive definition for wn. (You may find it helpful to draw a timeline.)(c) Let rn be the total revenue (in dollars) earned from the stored grapes from thebeginning of day 1 up to the beginning of day n for n ≥ 1. Find a recursiveformula for rn.(d) Write a MATLAB program to compute wn and rn for n = 1, 2, . . . , num wherenum is entered by the user, and display the values in three columns: n, wn, rnwith appropriate headings.Run the program for num =…
A ski rental agency has n pairs of skis, where the height of the the ith pair of skis is si . There are n skiers who wish to rent skis, where the height of the ith skier is hi. Ideally, each skier should obtain a pair of skis whose height matches her/his own height as closely as possible. We would like to assign skis to skiers so that the sum of the absolute differences of the heights of each skier and her/his skis is minimized. Design a greedy algorithm for the problem. Prove the correctness of your algorithm.
(Hint: Start with two skis and two skiers. How would you match them? Continue to three skis and three skiers, and identify a strategy.)
Consider the following R code.
>x = matrix(rnorm(n=500), ncol= 5)
>var x = var(x).
starting with var x, use 2 application s of the sweep() function, one dividing each row of the matrix and the other dividing each column, of a covariance matrix to obtain R, the correlation matrix.

- Evaluating and Solving Radical Functions A person's Body Mass Index is calculated with the formula: BMI=(weight / height2)⋅703 where weight is in pounds and height is in inches. If a person's BMI is above 25 and below 30, they are classified as overweight. If we solve this equation for height, we can determine how tall a person of a given weight should be if they have a BMI of 25.Our new Function is H(w)=√703w / b where H(w) is the person height in inches and ww is a person weight in pounds and b is the person's Body Mass Index (BMI). Use the function to answer the following questions. Determine how tall a person is if they weigh 225 pounds and they have a BMI of 25 Round your answer to one decimal place.The person that weights 225 pounds and has a BMI of 25 is about .......... inches tall. If a person is 68 inches tall and has a BMI of 25, determine their weight.A person that is 68 inches tall and has a BMI of 25 will weigh approximately ........... pounds.arrow_forwardK = 0, L = 18 Write and solve the following linear program using lingo, take screen shots of your model as well as the reports and the optimal solution.
