An engineer is studying the mileage performance characteristics of 5 types of gasoline additives. In the road test he wishes to use cars as blocks; however, because of a time constraint, he must use an incomplete block design. He runs the balanced design with the five blocks that follow.

Terra Mesa Manufacturing uses a job order cost system to account for its production of specialty patio furniture. At the beginning of June, Terra Mesa had one job in Work in Process, job A75. Management has chosen direct labor cost as its activity base. The costs incurred to date on job A75 are as follows: Direct materials $8260 Direct labor 10500 Overhead 13125 During June, Terra Mesa added the following costs for direct materials and direct labor to job A75: Direct materials $2630 Direct labor 4620 Job A75 was competed on June 30. What is the cost of job A75? $26010 $39135 $44910 $42831
In the construction process for solid-state flash memory drives (thumb drives), nearly all drives areconstructed with a large potential amount of storage space, and are sold base on the actual amountof memory that forms correctly during the process (For example, drives that are designed to store 64gb but contain a large number of bad sectors will instead be formated and sold as 32 gb). Consider amanufacturing process where every chip has a 21% of having enough bad sectors to be downgraded,and these errors are random and independent.(a) If we wish to compute the probability thatxnumber of chips out of a production run of sizenaredowngraded, do we have a probability distribution that will work for that?

MSA Computer Corporation manufactures two models of minicomputers, the Alpha 4 and the Beta 5. The firm employs five technicians, working 160 hours each per month, on its assembly line. Management insists that full employment (i.e., all 160 hours of time) be maintained for each worker during next month’s operations. It requires 20 labor hours to assemble each Alpha 4 computer and 25 labor hours to assemble each Beta 5 model. MSA wants to see at least 10 Alpha 4s and at least 15 Beta 5s produced during the production period. Alpha 4s generate $1,200 profit per unit, and Beta 5s yield $1,800 each. Determine the most profitable number of each model of minicomputer to produce during the coming month.
TMA manufactures 37-in. high-definition LCD televisions in two separate locations: Location I and Location II. The output at Location I is at most 6500 televisions/month, whereas the output at Location II is at most 5000 televisions/month. TMA is the main supplier of televisions to Pulsar Corporation, its holding company, which has priority in having all its requirements met. In a certain month, Pulsar placed orders for 2600 and 4100 televisions to be shipped to two of its factories located in City A and City B, respectively. The shipping costs (in dollars) per television from the two TMA plants to the two Pulsar factories are as follows. To Pulsar Factories From TMA City A City B Location I $7 $4 Location II $8 $8 TMA will ship x televisions from Location I to City A and y televisions from Location I to City B. Find a shipping schedule that meets the requirements of both companies while keeping costs, C (in dollars), to a minimum. Minimize C =…
The Apple Electronics Company, produces two products: (1) theApple x-pod and (2) the apple Blueberry. The production process for each product issimilar in that both require a certain number of hours of electronic work and a certain numberof labour-hours in the assembly department. Each x-pod takes 4 hours of electronic work and2 hours in the assembly shop. Each Blueberry requires 3 hours in electronics and 1 hour inassembly. During the current production period, 240 hours of electronic time are available,and 100 hours of assembly department time are available. Each x-pod sold yields a profitof $7; each BlueBerry produced may be sold for a $5 profit.The company’s problem is to determine the best possible combination of x-pods andBlueBerrys to manufacture to reach the maximum profit. This product-mix situation can beformulated as a linear programming problem.
A T-shirt company has three machines, I, II, and III, which can be used to produce two types of T-shirts, standard design and custom design. The following table shows the number of minutes required on each machine to produce the designs.

Each standard T-shirt costs $8, and each custom T-shirt costs $9.Find the number of each type of T-shirt that should be produced to minimize costs. (For each answer, enter an exact number.) standard design : custom design : cost (in dollars) :
THE PINEAPPLE HARVESTING SEASON IN BACOLOD IS SHORT , AND MOST FARMERS DELIVER THEIR TRUCKLOADS OF PINEAPPLE TO A GIANT CENTRAL STORAGE BIN WITHIN A TWO - WEEK SPAN . BECAUSE OF THIS , PINEAPPLE - FILLED TRUCKS WAITING TO UNLOAD AND RETURN TO THE FIELDS HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO BACK UP FOR A BLOCK AT THE RECEIVING BIN . THE CENTRAL BINJ IS OWNED COOPERATIVELY, AND IT IS TO EVERY FARMER'S BENEFIT TO MAKE THE UNLOADING/STORAGE PROCESS AS EFFICIENT AS POSSIBLE. THE COST OF PINEAPPLE DETERIORATION CAUSED BY UNLOADING DSELAYS AND THE COST OF TRUCK RENTAL AND IDLE DRIVER TIME ARE SIGNIFICANT CONCERNS TO THE COOPERATIVE MEMBERS . ALTHOUGH FARMERS HAVE DIFFICULTY QUANTIFYING CROP DAMAGE, IT IS EASY TO ASSIGN A WAITING AND UNLOADING COST FOR TRUCK AND DRIVER OF P 18 PER HOUR . THE STORAGE BIN IS OPEN AND OPERATED 16 HOURS PER DAY AND 7 DAYS PER WEEK DURING THE HARVEST SEASON AND IS CAPABLE OF UNLOADING , 35 TRUCKS PER HOUR ACCORDING TO AN EXPONENTIAL DISTRIBUTION .

Anela is a computer scientist who is formulating a large and complicated program for a type of data processing. She has three ways of storing and retrieving data: cloud storage, disk, or hard drive. As an experiment, she sets up her program in three different ways: one using cloud storage, one using disks, and the other using a hard drive. Then she makes four test runs of this type of data processing on each program. The time required to execute each program is shown in the following table (in minutes). Use a 0.01 level of significance to test the hypothesis that the mean processing time is the same for each method. Hard Drive Cloud Disks 8.4 6.8 7.2 9.3 9.6 6.8 8.1 7.0 9.6 8.3 7.9 8.6 (ii) Find the sample test statistic. (Round your F Ratio to two decimal places. Round all other answers to four decimal places.) (vi) In the case of one-way ANOVA, make a summary table. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)
