The ___________ approach to solving integer linear optimization problems breaks the feasible region of the LP Relaxation into subregions until the subregions have integer solutions or it is determined that the solution cannot be in the subregion.
 a. cutting plane
  b. trial-and-error
  c. breaking region
  d. branch-and-bound

Question 2

The average number of hours for a random sample of mail order pharmacists from company A was 50.1 hours last year. It is believed that changes to medical insurance have led to a reduction in the average work week. To test the validity of this belief, the hypotheses are
 a. H0: U > 50.1, Ha : U < 50.1.
  b. H0: U = 50.1, Ha : U  50.1.
  c. H0: U  50.1, Ha : U > 50.1.
  d. H0: U  50.1, Ha : U < 50.1.

Answer to Question 1

d
RATIONALE: The branch-and-bound approach to solving integer linear optimization problems breaks the feasible region of the LP Relaxation into subregions until the subregions have integer solutions or it is determined that the solution cannot be in the subregion.

Answer to Question 2

d
RATIONALE: The assumption to be challenged is last year's average. The alternative hypothesis comes from the fact that they believe there has been a reduction in the average work week. So the alternative hypothesis is Ha : u < 50.1 . The null is the complement of that: H0 : u  50.1.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
