A company makes two kinds of leather belts. Belt A is a high quality belt and Belt B is of lower quality. The respective profits are Rs 4 and Rs 3 per belt. The production of each of type A requires twice as much time as a belt of type B, and if all belts were of type B, the company could make 1000 per day. The supply of leather is sufficient for only 800 belts per day (Both A and B combined). Belt A requires a fancy buckle and only 400 per day are available. There are only 700 buckles a day available for Belt B. What should be the daily production of each type of belt? Formulate this problem as an LP Model and solve it using Simplex Method.

A statistician collected data of 78 values with two independent variable X1 and X2 . The four models considered are:
(a) Y = B0 + e, (b) Y = B0 + B1X1 (c) Y = B0 + B1X1 + B2X2 + e and (d) Y = B0 + B2X2 + e. The results are SS(B0) = 6524. 2, SS(B0,B1) = 6793.4, SS(B0,B2) = 6540.0,SS(B0,B1,B2) = 6877.9 and Find additional contribution of (i) X2 overX1 and (ii) X1 overX2 . Test whether their inclusion in the model is justified.

State whether the following statements are true or false and also give the reason in support of your answer.
i) The number of possible basic solutions of an LPP of order 2 × 3 is 5.
ii) If there are 3 jobs to be performed one at a time on each of the 2 machines, then the possible number of sequences would be 36.
iii) If the arrival rate is 6 per hour and service rate is 3 per hour then the probability of no customer in queue is 0.7
iv) The estimated value of ‘b’ in the regression line Y = a + bX + e in terms of variancecovariance is
v) Given the trend equation, y = 108 + 2.88 with 1980 as origin and yearly data from 1980 to 1982, the estimated value for 1985 is 119.52.
