Initial Tableau:
To summarize, when the coefficient of  in constraint 1 () was changed by -1, this caused the problem to have multiple optima. If the coefficient had been changed by a smaller negative amount or a positive amount, no change in the optimal solution would occur. If the change had been more than 1 in the negative direction, then the optimal solution would change. Thus, the range of optimality for () = (0, 7) is . Since this provides considerable latitude for an error in estimating , it is not a very sensitive parameter.
Now let's see what happens if we change the (objective) coefficient of a basic variable():
