1. Four workers, A, B, C and D, are to be assigned to three tasks, 1, 2 and 3. Each task must be assigned to just one worker and each worker can do one task only. Worker A cannot do task 2 and worke... r D cannot do task 3 The cost of assigning each worker to each task is shown in the table below. The total cost is to be minimised. 1 2 3 A 53 – 62 B 48 57 59 C 55 63 58 D 69 49 – Formulate the above situation as a linear programming problem. You must define your decision variables and make the objective function and constraints clear. (6) (Total for Question 1 is 6 marks) 2. Alka is considering paying £5 to play a game. The game involves rolling two fair six‑sided dice. If the sum of the numbers on the two dice is at least 8, she receives £10, otherwise she loses and receives nothing. If Alka loses, she can pay a further £5 to roll the dice again. If both dice show the same number then she receives £35, otherwise she loses and receives nothing. (i) Draw a decision tree to model Alka’s possible decisions and the possible outcomes. (ii) Determine Alka’s optimal EMV and state the optimal strategy indicated by the decision tree.

The table below shows the cost, in pounds, of transporting one unit of stock from each of four supply points, A, B, C and D, to four sales points, P, Q, R and S. It also shows the number of units held at each supply point and the number of units required at each sales point. A minimum cost solution is required.
