  d. input variables that can be controlled during optimization.

Question 2

Suppose that the distribution of the number of steps he takes is normally distributed with a mean of 10,000 and a standard deviation of 1,500 steps. How many steps would he have to take to make the cut for the top 5 for his distribution?
 a. 7,533
  b. 8,078
  c. 10,000

Answer to Question 1

c
RATIONALE: Constraints are restrictions that limit the settings of the decision variables.

Answer to Question 2

d
RATIONALE: We are asked to calculate the number of steps needed to put the student at the top 5 of days. This is equivalent to finding the 95th percentile of the distribution. Given a normal distribution with a mean of 10.000 and a standard deviation of 1,500 steps this value can be calculated using the Excel function NORM.INV(0.95, 10000, 1500) = 12,467.

Though methadone is often used to treat dependency on other opioids, the drug itself can be abused. Crushing or snorting methadone can achieve the opiate "rush" desired by addicts. Improper use such as these can lead to a dangerous dependency on methadone. This drug now accounts for nearly one-third of opioid-related deaths.

There used to be a metric calendar, as well as metric clocks. The metric calendar, or "French Republican Calendar" divided the year into 12 months, but each month was divided into three 10-day weeks. Each day had 10 decimal hours. Each hour had 100 decimal minutes. Due to lack of popularity, the metric clocks and calendars were ended in 1795, three years after they had been first marketed.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.

Though newer “smart” infusion pumps are increasingly becoming more sophisticated, they cannot prevent all programming and administration errors. Health care professionals that use smart infusion pumps must still practice the rights of medication administration and have other professionals double-check all high-risk infusions.
