Answer to Question 1

b
RATIONALE: A special case in which the optimal objective function contour line coincides with one of the binding constraint lines on the boundary of the feasible region leads to alternative optimal solutions; in such cases, more than one solution provides the optimal value for the objective function.

Answer to Question 2

b
RATIONALE: When we make estimates of or draw conclusions about one or more characteristics of a population based upon the sample, we are using the process of statistical inference.
