Q4 (a) Al Zahra software company, Muscat has recently received an order from an air bag manufacturing company to develop a code using programming language to control the functioning of the air bag. The size of the code is estimated to be 3100 LOC. The reliability of the product is very high and complexity of the product is nominal. The company has a set of developers who have (a) high application experience and low experience in C programming language and (b) low application experience and very high experience in C programming language. The project manager has a choice of hiring from two set of developers.
