1. The total cost of a business is its fixed costs plus its variable costs. For items like the cost of its buildings, there is no change (in the short term). If two analysts create linear programs using the same constraints, and one has the goal of minimizing total cost while the other has the goal of minimizing variable cost, why would their optimal solutions give the same values of the decision variables? (This is why we ignore fixed costs when solving these programs.) 2. What are the goal, the decision variables, and the constraints (in English and in mathematical equations) of the following problem (do not solve it, just set up the equations): A 24-hour pharmacy/drug store needs to plan for staffing but wants to cut costs to a minimum. The employees work 8-hour shifts. The pharmacy/drug store needs 12 staff between 8 am and noon, 10 staff between noon and 4 pm, 14 staff between 4 pm and 8 pm, 10 staff between 8 pm and 12 am, and only 6 staff between 12 am and 8 am. How should the drug store employees be scheduled? (Assumption: Schedule of staff is only on 4-hour intervals of midnight, 4am, 8am, noon, 4pm, and 8pm.) 3. Like question 2 above, what are the goal, the decision variables, and the constraints (in English and in mathematical equations) of the following problem (do not solve it, just set up the equations): A public relations firm has been contracted to perform a patient satisfaction survey for PA General Hospital. The firm must assign interviewers to conduct the survey by telephone or in person. One public relations firm’s interviewer can conduct 80 telephone interviews or 40 personal interviews in a single day. PA General Hospital has also established following requirements: At least 3,000 interviews must be conducted At least 1,000 interviews must be by telephone At least 800 interviews must be personal An interviewer conducts only one type of interview each day. The cost is $150 per day for a telephone interviewer and $200 per day for a personal interviewer. The PA General Hospital and the public relations firm are in negotiations. Therefore, in bargaining, the PA General Hospital needs to understand the minimum number of interviews to pay the public relations firm in order to minimize cost to the hospital.

Critical Thinking Assignment (110 points)This week we are learning about ordinal/categorical, continuous, and dichotomous variables. Using the Gestation Demographics SEU dataset that is located in the tabs at the bottom of the Framingham dataset provided, perform the following problems using R Studio or Excel. Create a simple distribution graph (histogram) where we will explore the age of women after giving birth to their first child. Remember that a histogram consists of parallel vertical bars that show the frequency distribution of a quantitative variable in the graph. See the example in Introductory Statistics with R on pages 71-7 or pages 123-124 in EXCEL statistics A quick guide. The area of each bar is equal to the frequency of items found in each class. Determine the mean age of the women in the Gestation Demographics SEU dataset. We will be testing the hypothesis that the mean age (? = ?0) for women is 37 years in the Gestation Demographics SEU dataset. The topic of hypothesis testing was introduced in HCM505. If you need a review see Chapter 7 of our text. H0 The mean age of women giving birth is 37 years old. (Null Hypothesis) H1 The mean age of women giving birth is not 37 years old. (Alternative Hypothesis)Ensure to submit the following requirements for the assignment: Present your findings in a Word document, by copying and pasting the histogram into the document. After your analysis state whether you accept or reject the null hypothesis and your reasoning why. Always use a title page, an introduction, a discussion where you interpret the meaning of the histogram, and a conclusion should be included. Your submission should be 2–3 pages to discuss and display your findings. Provide support for your statements with in-text citations from a minimum of two scholarly, peer-reviewed articles. One of these sources may be from the class readings, textbook, or lectures, but the others must be external. The Saudi Digital Library is a good place to find these sources and should be your primary resource for conducting research. Follow APA 7th edition and Saudi Electronic University writing standards.
