Answer to Question 1

d
RATIONALE: The simplex algorithm, developed by George Dantzig, is quite effective at investigating extreme points in an intelligent way to find the optimal solution to even very large linear programs.

Answer to Question 2

50

RATIONALE: In a standard normal probability distribution, the mean is located at the center of the curve which means that half of the area is below the mean and half is above the mean.
