A satellite link is being used to transmit television pictures from America to England. The components of this system are the television studio in New York, the transmitter ground station, the satellite and the receiver ground station in London. The MTBF of each of the components is as follows: MTBFTS = 500 hours MTBFtgs = 3000 hours MTBFS = 50 000 hours MTBFrgs = 2000 hours Calculate the overall reliability of the system during a 30 day period and a yearly period of 180 days.

Johnson Industries received a contract to develop and produce four high-intensity longdistance receiver/transmitters for cellular telephones. The i rst took 2,000 labor hours and $39,000 worth of purchased and manufactured parts; the second took 1,500 labor hours and $37,050 in parts; the third took 1,450 labor hours and $31,000 in parts; and the fourth took 1,275 labor hours and $31,492 in parts.Johnson was asked to bid on a follow-on contract for another dozen receiver/transmitter units. Ignoring any forgetting factor effects, what should Johnson estimate time and parts costs to be for the dozen units? (Hint: There are two learning curves—one for labor and one for parts.)
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. Machine I Machine II Machine IIIStandard 1 1 1Custom 1 4 5For efficient use of equipment, the company uses machine I at least 240 minutes per day, machine II at least 330 minutes per day, and machine III at least 1000 minutes per day. 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.

The military requires to send five autonomous tanks to a remote location for a mission. While working on the requirements of the mission it has been found that for successful completion of the mission, it is necessary that at least three tanks must survive. The reliability of an individualtank is 75% for the mission and it is same for all the tanks. Determine the overall reliability of the system for successful completion of the mission
Cecille Paper Company uses softwood and hardwood pulp as basic materials for producing converter-grade paper. Hardwood is 80% pulp fiber and 20% pulp binder, while softwood is 50% pulp fiber and 50% pulp binder. The cost per pound for hardwood and softwood is $.50 and $.40, respectively. The company s quality control expert specifies that in order for the product to meet quality standards, each batch must contain at least 12,000 pounds of pulp fiber and at least 6,000 pounds of pulp binder. Because of equipment limitations, the size of a batch cannot exceed 24,000 pounds. The Production Department recently received a new standard from the Cost Department, allowing $8,200 per batch. The production manager feels that this amount is too low, because such costs have never been less than $8,400. Required: Using the graphic method, determine the hardwood and softwood mix necessary to minimize the cost per batch.
A state university is buying computers and has narrowed it down to two different models that they would like to purchase, the Pear and the iNac. Each Pear has 160 GB of memory and 160 TB of disk space and each iNac has 480 GB of memory and 80 TB of disk space. For accreditation reasons the school would like to be able to say they have a total of at least 43200 GB of memory and at least 19200 TB of disk space. If the Pears cost $2200 each and the iNacs cost $1000 each, how many of each computer should they get to minimize cost.

A veterinarian has been asked to prepare a diet, x ounces of Brand A and y ounces of Brand B, for a group of dogs to be used in a nutrition study at the School of Animal Science. It has been stipulated that each serving should be no larger than 8 oz and must contain at least 29 units of Nutrient I and 20 units of Nutrient II. The vet has decided that the diet may be prepared from two brands of dog food: Brand A and Brand B. Each ounce of Brand A contains 3 units of Nutrient I and 4 units of Nutrient II. Each ounce of Brand B contains 5 units of Nutrient I and 2 units of Nutrient II. Brand A costs 2 cents/ounce, and Brand B costs 5 cents/ounce. Determine how many ounces of each brand of dog food should be used per serving to meet the given requirements at a minimum cost. (x, y) = Your answer cannot be understood or graded.
