A market research firm has three clients who have each requested that the firm

conduct a sample survey. Four available statisticians can be assigned to these
three projects; however, all four statisticians are busy , and can only handle one
clients. The following data shows the number of hours required for resch statistician
to complete each job; the differences in time are based on experience and ability
of the statistician.

Statistician A B c
1 150 210 270
2 170 230 220
3 180 230 225
4 160 240 230

If they "can only handle one
clients," how do you get data from all the statisticians on all three companies (A, B and c)?

What is your question?

I hope this helps a little. Thanks for asking.

To get data from all the statisticians on all three companies (A, B, and C), you need to assign one statistician to each client. However, there are only four statisticians available, so one of the clients will not be assigned a statistician.

To determine which statistician should be assigned to which client, you can consider the number of hours required for each statistician to complete each job. You want to minimize the total amount of time required for all three projects.

Here's how you can solve this problem:

1. Calculate the total hours required for each combination of assignments. For example, for the assignment of Statistician A to company A, Statistician B to company B, and Statistician C to company C, the total hours required would be 150 + 230 + 225 = 605.
2. Repeat this calculation for all possible combinations of assignments.
3. Choose the combination of assignments that results in the minimum total hours required. In this case, the combination with the minimum total hours is Statistician A assigned to company B, Statistician B assigned to company C, Statistician C assigned to company A, and Statistician D assigned to no client. The total hours required for this combination is 210 + 220 + 180 = 510.

So, to get data from all the statisticians on all three companies, you would assign Statistician A to company B, Statistician B to company C, and Statistician C to company A. Statistician D would not be assigned to any client.
