Use this data for the exercises that follow: In 2013, there were roughly 317 million citizens in the United States, and about 40 million were elderly (aged 65 and over).[34] 60. It is predicted that by 2030, one in five U.S. citizens will be elderly. How much greater will the chances of meeting an elderly person be at that time? What policy changes do you foresee if these statistics hold true?
Toward the middle of the harvesting season, peaches for canning come in three types, early, late, and extra late, depending on the expected date of ripening. During a certain week, the data to the right were recorded at a fruit delivery station. Complete parts (a) through (d) below. 40 trucks went out carrying early peaches; 71 carried late peaches; 52 carried extra late peaches; 26 carried early and late; 32 carried late and extra late; 11 carried early and extra late; 6 carried all three; 5 carried only figs (no peaches at all). a) How many trucks carried only late variety peaches? trucks (Type a whole number.) (b) How many carried only extra late? trucks (Type a whole number.) (c) How many carried only one type of peach? trucks (Type a whole number.) (d)How many trucks (in all) went out during the week? trucks (Type a whole number.)

A production manager is concerned about the low output levels of his employees. The articles that he read on job performance frequently mentioned four variables as important to job performance: skill required for the job, rewards, motivation, and satisfaction. In several of the articles it was also indicated that only if the rewards were valent (attractive) to the recipients did motivation, satisfaction, and job performance increase, not otherwise. Based on the scenario presented, answer the following questions: A) Find out Independent, Dependent, Moderating, and Mediating Variables. B) Develop Conceptual Framework C) Write 3 alternative hypotheses
The Crazy Nut Company wishes to market two special nut mixes during the holiday season. The Fancy Mix contains 0.5 pound of peanuts and 0.5 pound of cashews. The Deluxe Mix contains 0.6pound of peanuts, 0.2 pound of cashews and 0.15 pound of almonds. Fancy Mix sells for $12 per can and Deluxe Mix sells for $16 per can. The data pertinent to the raw ingredients appear in the table. The Crazy can sell all cans of either mix that it produces, but wants to keep the production quantity of Fancy Mix at least twice as many as Deluxe Mix. Formulate an LP model to determine how many of each mix to produce to maximize the total profit. Do not solve it. You can formulate as a spreadsheet model or an algebraic model. Define your decision variables (changing cells) clearly. Ingredient Amount Available (lb) Cost Per Pound (s) Peanuts 300 $1 Cashews 120 $3 Almonds 90 $4
The Badrutt’s Palace Hotel St. Moritz which is one of the best Alpine hotels in Switzerland has provided you with their quarterly bookings data over the last 6 years as follows: Year Quarter-1 (Demand in units) Quarter-2 (Demand in units) Quarter-3 (Demand in units) Quarter-4 (Demand in units) 2018 45,000 22,000 64,000 33,000 2019 48,000 27,000 74,000 41,000 2020 52,000 32,000 83,000 46,000 2021 57,000 35,000 94,000 52,000 2022 61,000 42,000 104,000 56,000 2023 67,000 49,000 120,000 61,000 Required: i) Calculate the seasonal indices for each season using multiplicative index ii) Forecast the demand for each season of the year 2024 given that the annual demand forecast is 324,000 units. iii) Deseasonalize the actual demand data (2018-2023) above using the seasonal indices obtained in (a) above. iv) Generate OLS equation using the Deseasonalized data in (iii) above (in thousand units)
You hypothesize that there may be a non-linear relationship between your predictors, where there may be more mosquitoes in sites with water and with caribou hosts. How do you create your model? Assume that "caribou" corresponds to the presence/absence of caribou Assume that "water" corresponds to the presence/absence of water number of mosquitoes ~ caribou * water number of mosquitoes ~ caribou + water presence/absence of mosquitoes ~ caribou + water presence/absence of mosquitoes ~ caribou * water
Two groups of secretaries operate under the same manager. Both groups have the same number of people, use the same equipment, and turn out about the same amount of work. During one maintenance penod group A had 10 service calls on the equipment, while group B had only 6 calls From these data, would you conclude that group A was harder on the equipment?
How will marketers change their social media use in the near future? A survey by Social Media Examiner reported that 77% of B2B marketers (marketers that focus primarily on attracting businesses) plan to increase their use of LinkedIn, as compared to 54% of B2C marketers (marketers that primarily target consumers). The survey was based on 1,184 B2B marketers and 1,703 B2C marketers. The following table summarizes the results: Give an example of a simple Give an example of a joint What is the complement of a marketer who plans to increase use of LinkedIn? Why is a marketer who plans to increase use of LinkedIn and is a B2C marketer a joint event?
As you read about each study, (a) classify the type of research that it reflects, and (b) identify the kinds of conclusions that might reasonably be drawn from the results. An educational psychologist videotapes 20 high school history teachers in action for a period of 4 weeks. He then codes every teacher statement as belonging to one of three categories: whether it (a) presents new information, (b) asks a question, or (c) gives instructions. He summarizes this information and compares the amount of teacher questioning to the students' scores on a district-wide history achievement test given later in the year. The researcher finds that when teachers ask a lot of questions in class, students are more likely to score at high levels on the achievement test. (a) Classify the research as one of the following: Quantitative/descriptive Quantitative/correlational Quantitative/experimental Quantitative/quasi-experimental Qualitative Mixed methods, and…

XYZ Manufaturing company has hired a new VP (D.A.King) for managing capacity investment decisions. Mr. King reviews the situation after he comes on board and decides that he can invest in Batch manufacturing, Custom manufacturing or Group technology. Mr. King will not be able to forecast demand accurately till after the technology choices are made. Demand will be classified into four scenarios: poor, fair, good and excellent. The table below indicates the payoffs for each combination of technology choice and demand scenario. POOR FAIR GOOD EXCELLENT PROBABILITY 0.1 0.4 0.3 0.2 Batch - $200,000 $1,000,000 $1,200,000 $1,300,000 Custom $100,000 $300,000 $700,000 $800,000 Group Technology - $1,000,000 -$500,000 $500,000 $2,000,000 1.What is the expected monetary value of choosing the Group Technology option? 2.What is the expected monetary value of choosing the Batchoption? 3What is the BEST decision based on…
