Cellulon, a manufacturer of home insulation, wants to develop guidelines for builders and consumers on how the thickness of the insulation in the attic of a home and the outdoor temperature affect natural gas consumption. In the laboratory, it varied the insulation thickness and temperature. A few of the findings are: Monthly Natural Gas Consumption (cubic feet), Y Thickness of Insulation (inches), X1 Outdoor Temperature (°F), X2 30.3 6 40 26.9 12 40 22.1 8 49 How much natural gas can homeowners expect to use per month if they install 6 inches of insulation and the outdoor temperature is 40 degrees F? Group of answer choices 36.69 cubic feet 30.30 cubic feet 30.89 cubic feet 33.69 cubic feet

A company wants to plan production for the ensuing year so as to minimize thecombined cost of production and inventory storage. In each quarter of the year, demand isanticipated to be 65, 80, 135 and 75 respectively. The product can be manufactured duringregular time at a cost of Php 16 per unit produced, or during overtime at a cost of Php 20 perunit. The given table below shows data pertinent to production capacities. The cost of carryingone unit in inventory per quarter is Php 2. The inventory level at the beginning of the firstquarter is zero.

The U.S. government wants to determine whether immigrants should be tested for a contagious disease, and it is planning to base this decision on financial considerations. Assume that each immigrant who is allowed to enter the United States and has the disease costs the country $100,000. Also, assume that each immigrant who is allowed to enter the United States and does not have the disease will contribute $10,000 to the national economy. Finally, assume that x percent of all potential immigrants have the disease. The U.S. government can choose to admit all immigrants, admit no immigrants, or test immigrants for the disease before determining whether they should be admitted. It costs T dollars to test a person for the disease, and the test result is either positive or negative. A person who does not have the disease always tests negative. However, 10% of all people who do have the disease test negative. The government’s goal is to maximize the expected net financial benefits per…
