If we go with the new OS, we’re looking at $6 million total, but the avoided cost should just be the $2 million for the upgrade, I think.

I practiced a similar question where we had to compare costs, but I can't recall if we included future savings in the avoided cost.

I think the avoided cost is just the initial upgrade cost of $2 million, right? That seems to make sense.

I remember something about avoided costs being the difference between options, but I'm not sure how to calculate it here.

Option B sounds promising. If the REST services are already there, we just need to enable them. I'll double-check the details, but that seems like the most straightforward approach.

Okay, I've seen questions like this before. I know the standard deviation of the sample means is equal to the population standard deviation divided by the square root of the sample size.

I'm a bit confused; I thought it was D, half the standard charge, but there might be an exception I overlooked in the material.
