What is help a company use its limited resources in the most efficient way.

100

Step 4 in implementing Linear Programming Model?

What is For each constraint, create a formula in a separate in the spreadsheet that corresponds to the Left-Hand Side-LHS of the constraint.

100

Decision variables in the algebraic formulation of a model go along with?

Characteristics of optimization problems include?

What is decision, constraints, and objectives

200

Step 1 in implementing Linear Programming Model

What is Organize the data for the model on the spreadsheet

200

The Left-Hand Side-LHS formulas for each constraint in an LP model must be implemented in?

What is different cells in the excel spreadsheet

300

Partitioning the data in the data mining process means?

What is divide, distribute, or portion the data.

300

2 benefits of modeling?

What is 

1. provides a simplified version of the object or decision problem they represent

2. less expensive to analyze decision problems using a model

3 models are frequently helpful to examine things that would be impossible to do in reality

4 models allow us to gain insight and understanding about the object or decision problem under investigation

300

f(X1, X2 …. Xn) ≤ b represents?

What is A less than or equal to constraint

300

Step 3 in implementing Linear Programming Model?

What is Create formula in a cell in the spreadsheet that corresponds to the objective function in the algebraic model.

300

A cell in the excel spreadsheet must represent?

What is the objective function in the LP model.

400

Classification does this in the data mining process?

hint, how does it use the information

What is takes a data mining problem and uses the information available in a set of independent variables to predict the value of a discrete or categorical(clear-cut) dependent variable.

400

Simplest and most common logical math model:

What is A equal to constraint.

400

Step 2 in implementing Linear Programming Model?

What is Reserve separate cells in the spreadsheet to represent each decision variable in the algebraic model.
