Top Brass Trophy Company, makes large championship trophies for youth athletic teams. At the moment they are planning production for fall sports: football and soccer. Each football trophy has a wood base, an engraved plaque, a large brass football on top, and returns $12 in profit. Soccer trophies are similar except that a brass soccer ball is on top, and the unit profit is only $9. Since the football has an asymmetric shape, its base requires 4 board feet of wood; the soccer base requires only 2 board feet. At the moment there are 1000 brass footballs in stock, 1500 soccer balls, 1750 plaques, and 4800 board feet of wood. Required:
a. Define your decision variables and variable restrictions.
b. Build and present your linear programming model.
c. If you can, solve your linear programming model by graphical method. Otherwise, state your reason. Note that you can derive an optimal solution exactly by solving related equations.
d. If the number of available plaques is 200, modify your model and solve it again.

High school seniors with strong academic records apply to the nation’s most selective colleges in greater numbers each year. because the number of slots remains relatively stable, some colleges reject more early applicants. suppose that for a recent admissions class, an ivy league college received 2851 applications for early admission. of this group, it admitted 1033 students early, rejected 854 outright, and deferred 964 to the regular admission pool for further consideration. in the past, this school has admitted 18% of the deferred early admission applicants during the regular admission process. counting the students admitted early and the students admitted during the regular admission process, the total class size was 2375. let e, r, and d represent the events that a student who applies for early admission is admitted early, rejected outright, or deferred to the regular admissions pool.suppose a student applies for early admission. what is the probability that the student will be admitted for early admission or be deferred and later admitted during the regular admission process?
