Cedar Point amusement park management is preparing the park's annual promotional plan for the coming season. Several advertising alternatives exist: newspaper, television, radio, and displays at recreational shows. The information below shows the characteristics associated with each of the advertising alternatives, as well as the maximum number of placements available in each medium. Given an advertising budget of $125,000, how many placements should be made in each medium to maximize total audience exposure? Formulate this as a linear programming problem to be solved using QM.

A theme park owner records the number of times the same kids from two separate age groups ride the newest attraction.
| Age 13–16 | Time | Age 17–21 | Time |

You decide you want to build a skate park in your backyard, so you need to buy a lot of concrete. The good news is, you can get a discount when you buy in bulk. The price of concrete for different grades of concrete per cubic yard is as follows:
Write a program that calculates the price of an order of concrete when given the grade and quantity.
Notes
Examples
What grade of concrete (low/cheap, high/expensive)? low How many cubic yards of concrete? 75 The cost is $7500
The answer to the example above is calculated from 75 * $100 (low grade, less than 200 cubic yards) = $7500
What grade of concrete (low/cheap, high/expensive)? cheap How many cubic yards of concrete? 75 The cost is $7500
What grade of concrete (low/cheap, high/expensive)? high How many cubic yards of concrete? 75 The cost is $11250
What grade of concrete (low/cheap, high/expensive)? expensive How many cubic yards of concrete? 75 The cost is $11250

6. Jiffy Park Corp. has annual sales of $50,705,000, an average inventory level of $15,015,000, and average accounts receivable of $10,015,000. The firm's cost of goods sold is 85% of sales. The company makes all purchases on credit and has always paid on the 30th day. However, it now plans to take full advantage of trade credit and to pay its suppliers on the 40th day. The CFO also believes that sales can be maintained at the existing level but inventory can be lowered by $1,950,000 and accounts receivable by $1,950,000.
a. What is Jiffy Park’s cash conversion cycle (CCC) prior to the changes proposed?
b. What is Jiffy Park’s CCC after implementing the suggested changes?
c. What is the net change in Jiffy Park’s CCC given what you just calculated above?

theme park owner wants to know if the children’s rides are favoring 10 year old girls over 10 year old boys based on height. In other words, does one group taller than the other and thus can go on more rides?
Part a: The owner gathered height data on 10 year old girls and 10 year old boys, see data below. Determine at the 5% significance level if there is evidence that the two genders are not the same height and thus cannot all go on the same rides. Show your work and give your answer in complete sentences in context of the problem.

Parking charge application: A parking garage charges a $20.00 minimum fee to park for up to 3 hours. The garage charges an additional $5.00 per hour for hour or part thereof in excess of 3 hours. The maximum charge for any given 24-hour period is $50.00. Assume that no car parks for longer than 24 hours at a time. Write a program that calculates and prints the parking charge for each of 3 customers who parked their cars in this garage yesterday. You should enter the hours parked for each customer. Your program should save the result in a array of Customer. The class customer is the following:
class customer{ string plate; float hour; float fee; }
Your program should use the function calculateCharges to determine the fee for each customer. You should print the result for the 3 customers in the following format:
Plate Hours Charge
132AAC 1.5 20.00
236URT 4.0 25.00
390ROP 24.0 50.00
TOTAL 29.5 95.00
In doing this question make sure to keep the array of customer as global variable.
