The objective function for a linear optimization problem is: Max 3x + 2y, with one of the constraints being x and y both only take the values 0, 1 . Also x and y are the only decision variables. This is an example of a
 a. nonlinear program.
  b. mixed-integer linear program.
  c. LP relaxation of the integer linear program.
  d. binary integer linear program.

Question 2

A student wants to determine if pennies are really fair, meaning equally likely to land heads up or tails up. He flips a random sample of 50 pennies and finds that 28 of them land heads up. What are the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses?
 a. H0: p  0.5, Ha : p < 0.5
  b. H0: p  0.5, Ha : p  0.5
  c. H0: p = 0.5, Ha : p > 0.5
  d. H0: p  28, Ha : p < 28

Answer to Question 1

d
RATIONALE: In some applications, the integer variables may take on only the values 0 or 1 . Then we have a binary integer linear program.

Answer to Question 2

c
RATIONALE: The appropriate null and alternative hypotheses are H0 : p = 0.5, Ha : p  0.5 . This is equivalent to saying pennies are fair vs pennies are not fair.

For about 100 years, scientists thought that peptic ulcers were caused by stress, spicy food, and alcohol. Later, researchers added stomach acid to the list of causes and began treating ulcers with antacids.
