The capacity of each couch is 280 passengers. Based on the computed maximum passengers in (a), compute headway possibilities and corresponding number of couches per train. You may use rail utilisation factor of 0.75 and load factor of 0.9.

2. Suppose that in Example 2.27, 400 units of food A, 500 units of B, and 600 units of C are placed in the test tube each day and the data on daily food consumption by the bacteria (in units per day) are as shown in Table 2.7. How many bacteria of each strain can coexist in the test tube and consume all of the food? Table 2.7 Bacteria Strain I Bacteria Strain II Bacteria Strain III Food A 1 2 0 Food B 2 1 3 Food C 1 1 1
The Boeing Company faces a critical strategic choice in its competition with Airbus Industries for the long-haul flight segment: Should it design and build a super-747 model that can carry 550 passengers at speeds around 350 mph, or a plane that can fly at 95 percent of the speed of sound but carry only about 350 passengers? As a member of Boeing's Planning Group, your task is to build a model to investigate the trade-offs involved in this decision.
It is known that in any given year, • 90% of the people in a city move to the suburbs; • 80% of the people in the suburbs do not move to the city. Given an initial city population of 55,000 and an initial suburb population of 77,000, what are the long-term population levels of the city and the suburb?
Use this data and create a model that estimates a student's giving rate as an alumni based on the three parameters provided. If a class has a graduation rate of 74, the % of classes under 20 student equal to 55, and a Student=Faculty Ratio of 19, what should we expect our Alumni Giving Rate to be?

The 2019-2020 flu season was especially tough. By the end of the season, an estimated total of 49 million people in the United States had contracted the flu, of whom an estimated 79,000 died from the flu. Assume that the US population was 300,000,000 during the 2019-2020 flu season and that during the season, a total of 2.9 million Americans died from all causes (including the flu). Assume the population of the US remained the same at the midpoint of the season. Report mortality rates per 100,000. Be sure to express the measure in the correct format. a.What was the proportionate mortality rate from flu during the 2019-2020 flu season? b.What was the case fatality rate from flue during the 2019-2020 flu season?

Based on this information alone, can we determine that the risk of dying from flu in 2019 was higher in this country compared to the US? Why or why not?

In a classic study of infant attachment, Harlow (1959) placed infant monkeys in cages with two artificial surrogate mothers. One “mother” was made from bare wire mesh and contained a baby bottle from which the infants could feed. The other mother was made from soft terry cloth and did not provide any access to food. Harlow observed the infant monkeys and recorded how much time per day was spent with each mother. In atypical day, the infants spent a total of 18 hours clinging to one of the two mothers. If there were no preference between the two, you would expect the time to be divided evenly, with an average of μ=9 hours for each of the mothers. However, the typical monkey spent around 15 hours per day with the terry-cloth mother, indicating a strong preference for the soft, cuddly mother. Suppose a sample of n=9 infant monkeys averaged M=15.3 hours per day with SS=216 with the terry-cloth mother. Is this result sufficient to conclude that the monkeys spent significantly more time with…
The production planning period for flat-screen moni-tors at Louisiana’s Roa Electronics, Inc., is 4 months. Cost data are as follows:Regular-time cost per monitor $ 70Overtime cost per monitor $110Subcontract cost per monitor $120Carrying cost per monitor per month $ 4 For each of the next 4 months, capacity and demand for flat-screen monitors are as follows: PERIOD MONTH 1 MONTH 2 MONTH 3 a MONTH 4Demand 2,000 2,500 1,500 2,100CapacityRegular time 1,500 1,600 750 1,600Overtime 400 400 200 400Subcontract 600 600 600 600aFactory closes for 2 weeks of vacation.CEO Mohan Roa expects to enter the planning period with 500monitors in stock. Back ordering is not permitted (meaning, forexample, that monitors produced in the second month cannot beused to cover first month’s demand).
