Question 6 options: 1) Climate involves statistics (e.g., long-term averages) but weather considers conditions at a particular time and place (e.g., one week of this summer). 2) The current weather at a location can be characterized by a single measurement, but climate requires many years of measurements (typically around 30) to characterize. 3) Both weather and climate can vary regionally (e.g., from one side of a mountain range to another). 4) Climate only refers to temperatures, but weather also includes other factors like wind, rain, and snow.arrow_forwardQuestion 5 AIT computer department purchases a new computer every two years with preferences for three models; T1, T2 and T3. If the present model is T1, the next computer may be T2 with probability 0.2 or T3 with probability 0.15. If the present model is T2, the probabilities of switching to T1 and T3 are 0.6 and 0.25 respectively. And if present model is T3 then, the probabilities of switching to T1 and T2 are 0.5 and 0.1 respectively. Represent the situation as a Markov chain.arrow_forward

Two Architectural Companies have provided building plans and technical schematics for the project. Management are happy with the proposals of both Standard apartment and Deluxe apartment. After investigating the steps involved in construction, management determined that each apartment complex built will require some resources. Management analysed each of the bids and concluded that if the plans of Standard apartment are built, it requires 0.7 days in foundation works, 0.5 days in the masonry, 1 day in finishing, and 0.1 days in painting works. Deluxe apartment will require 1 day in foundation works, 0.83 days in the masonry, 0.67 days in finishing, and 0.25 days in the painting works. Management estimate that, 630 days for foundation works, 600 days for masonry, 708 days for finishing and 135 days for 11painting works…arrow_forwardQuestion 1. Busch Gardens Sweets is preparing for the Halloween rush. They prepare two sizes of Peanut/Raisin Ghoulish Delight and need to calculate how many bags of deluxe and standard mixes they can produce. • The deluxe mix takes 0.9 of a pound of raisins and 0.4 of a pound of peanuts.• The standard mix takes 0.7 of a pound of raisins and 0.6 of a pound of peanuts.The shop has 100 pounds of raisins and 70 pounds of peanuts. The profit on the deluxe mix is $1.80 and the standard mix profit is $1.60. The owner wants no more than 110 bags of each type prepared. Do not forget the non-negativity constraint and remember that you cannot sell partial bags (whole numbers only). Use Excel Solver Question 2.

- Question 2 A particular road is used by N drivers each day. Each driver obtains a benefit v from the journey and incurs a cost c(N ) that increases with the number of drivers on the road due to congestion. Suppose that the cost incurred is given by c(N) = a+bN, for some positive numbers a, b. If the agent decides not to use the road, they receive 0. You may assume throughout that the number of drivers N can be any real number (rather than an integer). Each driver uses the road at most once. the number of drivers that join the road is Ne = (v−a)/b (iv) Suppose that the government charges a toll t (a congestion charge) for each journey. Find the optimum toll. Interpret your answer in terms of the externality that each driver imposes on others.arrow_forwardQuestion 2CWD Manufacturing makes three components for sale to refrigeration companies.
