J 2 When discussing the measurement process, I introduced three terms: theoretical construct, conceptual definition, and operational definition. In class, we discussed the example of the healthiness of foods. For example, I have theory that if people had a greater understanding of what healthy foods are, they would be more likely to have a healthy diet. Suppose I wanted to conduct market research to test this theory. “Healthy Food’ is therefore the Theoretical Construct. Please explain to me how the terms conceptual definition and operational definition would apply to healthy food. Include specific examples relevant to this situation. Q1 Conceptual definition as it applies to healthy food would include things like: Q2 Operational definition as it applies to healthy food would include things like:

) Creative Sports Design (CSD) manufactures a standard-size racket and an oversize racket.The firm’s rackets are extremely light due to the use of a magnesium-graphite alloy that wasinvented by the firm’s founder. Each standard-size racket uses 0.125 kilograms of the alloy andeach oversize racket uses 0.4 kilograms; over the next two-week production period only 80kilograms of the alloy are available. Each standard-size racket uses 10 minutes of manufacturingtime and each oversize racket uses 12 minutes. The profit contributions are $10 for eachstandard-size racket and $15 for each oversize racket, and 40 hours of manufacturing time areavailable each week. Management specified that at least 20% of the total production must be thestandard-size racket. How many rackets of each type should CSD manufacture over the next twoweeks to maximize the total profit contribution? Assume that because of the unique nature oftheir products, CSD can sell as many rackets as they can produce.
