Use the Internet or other reference to find an industry that uses linear programming. Describe the restrictions or constraints of the problem and explain how linear programming is used to help solve the problem.

Fill in the blank with an appropriate word, phrase, or symbol(s). In linear programming problem the restrictions that are represented by linear inequalities are called the _.

How does the expected value of perfect information differ from the expected profit under certainty?

Andrew Thomas, a sandwich vendor at Hard Rock Cafe's annual Rockfest, created a table of conditional values for the various alternatives (stocking decision) and states of nature (size of crowd):

The probabilities associated with the states of nature are $0.3$ for a big demand, $0.5$ for an average demand, and $0.2$ for a small demand.

Compute the expected value of perfect information (EVPI).

An Employee Value Proposition (EVP) is about defining the essence of a company. The EVP is the value an employee receives from the employer; it defines the commitment the company will make to develop the employee in exchange for the effort the employee puts in to benefit the company. But do all agree on what makes a unique and compelling EVP? A study showed that 14% of business executives, 38% of HR leaders, and 33% of employees say that compensation (pay and rewards) makes for a unique and compelling EVP. If appropriate, use the Marascuilo procedure and $\alpha=0.05$ to determine which business groups differ in the proportion that say compensation (pay and rewards) makes for a unique and compelling EVP.
