Question 34 Frontline Agricultural Processing Systems uses several ingredients to make wheat crackers. After several years of operations and testing, their scientists found high protein and carbohydrates in two of their ingredients, barley and corn. While an ounce of barley costs $0.25, an ounce of corn costs $0.46. While an ounce of barley provides 9 mg of protein and 1 mg of carbohydrates, an ounce of corn provides 7 mg of protein and 5 mg of carbohydrates. Recently, demand for wheat crackers has increased. To lower the overall cost of producing wheat crackers, Frontline Agricultural Processing Systems will want to know how many ounces of barley and corn to include in each box of wheat crackers to meet the minimum requirements of 160 milligrams of protein and 40 milligrams of carbohydrates. If the carbohydrate requirement is reduced by 2 milligrams, how much reduction would the optimal cost change by? Round to 2 decimal places.

Imagine you are an avid movie goer and you prepared a list of n movies you are considering watching. As a thorough researcher, you prepared a list of k friends, whose movie advice you trust. You have two ways to evaluate a movie: watch it or ask a friend if it is worth seeing. A movie typically lasts two hours. Usually when you speak with one of your friends, you also spend two hours talking. However, during these two hours, you can discuss multiple movies your friend has seen. Address the dilemma in each of the following two cases: For each movie, you are debating to either see it or speak to all of your friends and hear their recommendations. You only have a total of t hours. You have two choices: a) Design a polynomial-time algorithm for choosing t/2 recommenders, or b) prove that the problem is NP-hard. Decide between the two choices and explain your decision with mathematical rigor. A more efficient approach is to choose between watching the movie and speaking with at least one…

Mr Sulaiman has four kids, named Asmahan (eldest), Baraq, Dhikra, and Hamza (youngest). One day, Sulaiman brought a new motorcycle to home. As he opened this single-seated motorbike, all the kids were excited and want to ride the motorbike first. So, Sulaiman came up with a plan: each one will get only 9 minutes to ride and has to pass on to the next younger sister/brother. After Hamza finishes his 6 minutes, the turn goes to Asmahan again. Following is the time each kid ride the motorbike in total. • Asmahan played 9 minutes. • Baraq played 13 minutes. • Dhikra played 17 minutes. • Hamza played 15 minutes. Consider this scenario in terms of Process Scheduling Algorithm and answer the following. a) What is the suitable Process Scheduling Algorithm that can be used here? b) Draw a Gantt chart in a paper for the above scenario capture an image, upload it in moodle c) Find the Average Turnaround Time. d) Find the Average Waiting Time.
As the evidence on the adverse effects of cigarette smoke grew, people tried many different ways to quit smoking. Some people tried chewing tobacco or, as it was called, smokeless tobacco. A small amount of tobacco was placed between the cheek and gum. Certain chemicals from the tobacco were absorbed into the bloodstream and gave the sensation of smoking cigarettes. This prompted studies on the adverse effects of smokeless tobacco. One study in particular used 40 university students as subjects. Twenty were given smokeless tobacco to chew, and twenty given a substance that looked and tasted like smokeless tobacco, but did not contain any of the harmful substances. The students were randomly assigned to one of the groups. The students' blood and heart rate were measured before they started chewing and 20 minutes after they had been chewing. A significant increase in heart rate occurred in the group that chewed the smokeless tobacco. Answer the following questions. a. What type of study…
