In a railway marshalling yard, goods trains arrive at a rate of 36 trains per day. Assuming that the inter-arrival and service time distributions both follow exponential distribution with an average of 30 minutes, calculate the following:
(i) Traffic intensity
(ii) The mean queue length
(iii) Probability that the queue size exceeds

Using the graphical method to minimise the time required to process Job 1 and Job 2 on five machines A, B, C, D and E, find the minimum elapsed times an idle times to complete both jobs.
| Sequence | A | B | C | D | E | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Job 1 | Time (in hours) | 1 | 2 | 3 | 5 | 4 |
| Job 2 | Sequence | C | A | D | E | B |
| Time (in hours) | 3 | 4 | 2 | 1 | 5 |
Use the penalty (Big M) method to solve the following LP problem:

Subject to the constraints.
A researcher is interested in developing a linear model for the electricity consumption of a household having an AC (1.5 ton) so that she can predict the electricity consumption. For this purpose, she selects 25 houses and records the electricity consumption (in kWh), size of house (in square feet) and AC hours for one month during summers. The results obtained are:$

Build a regression model by selecting appropriate regressors in the model using the Stepwise Selection method.
State whether the following statements are True or False. Give reasons in support of your answers.
(a) The solution of a transportation problem with 5 rows (supplies) and 4 columns (destinations) is feasible if number of possible allocations are 8.
(b) The moving averages of suitable period in a time-series are free from the influences of seasonal and cyclic variations.
(c) If the basic solutions for a system of equations are (- 2, 0, 1), (0, 1, 3), (- 2, 3, 0), then only (0, 1, 3) is feasible.
(d) In the stepwise selection method of multiple regression model, once a variable enters in the model then it always remains in the model.
(e) An enterprise requires 1000 units per month. The ordering cost is estimated to be 50 per order. The purchase price is 20 per unit and the carrying cost per unit is 10% of it. Then the economic lot size to be ordered is 775.

A firm wants to know whether there is any linear relationship between the sales (X) and its yearly revenue (Y). The records for 10 years were examined and the following results were obtained:$
(a) Fit a regression line taking Y as the dependent variable and X as the independent variable.
(b) Test whether the sales have any effect on revenue at 5% level of significance.
(c) Comment on the goodness of fit of the regression line.
