QMB 3602 Exam 3 Exam Prep 120 Questions Linear Programming, What-If Analysis, Network Models, Data Analytics

This document provides a comprehensive collection of approximately 120 QMB 3602 Exam 3 questions with correct answers, focusing on quantitative methods, linear programming, and data-driven decision-making. It covers essential topics such as sensitivity analysis, shadow price interpretation (marginal value of resources on page 1), and what-if analysis techniques used to evaluate changes in objective functions and constraints. The material offers in-depth coverage of optimization models, including minimum-cost flow, maximum flow, assignment, and shortest path problems (pages 5–7). It also explores key concepts such as hard constraints, parameter sensitivity, and solver-based analysis, providing a strong foundation in operations research and decision science. Additionally, the document integrates business analytics and reporting concepts, including the distinction between data, information, and actionable insights, as well as report structuring approaches (data-centric vs audience-centric) and decision-making frameworks (pages 8–10). For example, later sections emphasize how insights are derived and communicated effectively in research reports, making this resource highly relevant for both exams and real-world business applications. This resource is ideal for courses such as Business Analytics (QMB3602), Operations Management, Decision Science, and Quantitative Methods at universities and business schools. It is particularly suited for business students, data analysts, and individuals preparing for exams involving optimization models and analytical decision-making. The content aligns closely with standard textbooks such as Business Analytics: Data Analysis & Decision Making by Albright & Winston and Introduction to Operations Research by Hillier & Lieberman, reflecting core principles of optimization, analytics, and managerial decision-making.
