31 January through 2 February - Linear Programming Project
Directions: Create your own scenario that must be solved using the process of linear programming. You will need to design a scenario that will have at least three constraints that yield a feasible region with at least three vertices to be tested in an objective function. Your scenario needs to be presented as a paragraph with proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Your linear programming scenario should be submitted electronically as a Google Doc. You also need to include the answer key for your scenario. This can either be typed or handwritten, but it must include all steps of the linear programming process (system of linear inequalities, graph, feasible region identification, identifying vertices, and testing vertices in objective function with final answer provided in words with labels). After you create your own scenario and submit it, you will be tasked with solving another classmate’s scenario for the final 10 points of the project.
Submit your ORIGINAL PROBLEM (without the answer key) to this assignment.

Lab #4 - M&Ms and Loss
Lab Procedurees
Pour the M&M’s onto the paper plate so that the candies are one layer thick. Inspect the candies. Eat those candies that do not have an “M” showing on one side (Look closely at the yellow ones because the “M” is hard to see.). For our purposes, the candies we use must be marked. Count the marked M&M’s. Write this number in your table as your starting value (Year #0).
Put all the marked candies into the cup and dump them onto the plate so that the candies are one layer thick.
Count all the M&M’s with the “M” showing and put them into the baggie. These represent atoms that have decayed, so they are safe for you to eat later.
Count the remaining M&M’s and record this number in your table. Put them back into the cup.
REPEAT STEPS 2,3, and 4 UNTIL ALL THE M&M’S ARE REMOVED. Use as many trials as you need to complete this task
