Question:
Driver _____ Capacity
Saul .................. 5
Chris ................. 4
Rob .................. 3
Erick ................. 5
Anna ................. 6
Jim ................... 5
The campers represent different age groups. Each age group is to be delivered to a different location. Thus, if a car holds campers of different ages, then the driver will have to drive to different destinations. An ideal solution would require each driver to go to just one location. However, such a solution is unattainable. The campers and their age groups are listed in the table below.
a. Although we know what an "ideal" solution would look like, we need a metric for evaluating less-than-ideal solutions. Devise a metric to serve as a measure of performance for the assignment.
b. Find the best assignment for the metric developed in part (a).
