Workers at a particular mining site receive an average of 35 days paid vacation, which is lower than the national average. The manager of this plant is under pressure from a local union to increase the amount of paid time off. However, he does not want to give more days off to the workers because that would be costly. Instead he decides he should fire 10 employees in such a way as to raise the average number of days off that are reported by his employees. In order to achieve this goal, should he fire employees who have the most number of days off, least number of days off, or those who have about the average number of days off? a. He should fire employees who have the most number of days off. b. No matter who he fires, it will not increase the amount of paid time off. c. He should fire employees who have the average number of days off. d. He should fire employees who have the least number of days off.
Two of the mathematics professors at Enormous State University are Professor A (known for easy grading) and Professor F (known for tough grading). Last semester, roughly three-fifths of Professor F's class consisted of former students of Professor A; these students apparently felt encouraged by their (utterly undeserved) high grades. (Professor F's own former students had fled in droves to Professor A's class to try to shore up their grade point averages.) At the end of the semester, as might have been predicted, all of Professor A's former students wound up with a C− or lower. The rest of the students in the class—former students of Professor F who had decided to "stick it out"—fared better, and one-fourth of them earned higher than a C−. After discovering what had befallen them, all the students who earned C− or lower got together and decided to send a delegation to the Department Chair to complain that their grade point averages had been ruined by this callous and heartless beast!…

Gulf Coast Electronics is ready to award contracts to suppliers for providing reservoir capacitors for use in its electronic devices. For the past several years, Gulf Coast Electronics has relied on two suppliers for its reservoir capacitors: Able Controls and Lyshenko Industries. A new firm, Boston Components, inquired into the possibility of providing a portion of the reservoir capacitors needed by Gulf Coast. The quality of products provided by Lyshenko Industries has been extremely high; in fact, only 0.5% of the capacitors provided by Lyshenko had to be discarded because of quality problems. Able Controls has also had a high quality level historically, producing an average of only 1% unacceptable capacitors. Because Gulf Coast Electronics has had no experience with Boston Components, it estimated Boston’s defective rate to be 10%. Gulf Coast would like to determine how many reservoir capacitors should be ordered from each firm to obtain 75,000 acceptable-quality capacitors to use…
CWD Business systems maintains a successful Telecom sales department for Top up call creditin which a clerk takes orders by telephone. If the clerk is occupied on one line, incoming phonecalls to the department are answered automatically by an answering machine and asked to wait.As soon as the clerk is free, the party that has waited the longest is transferred and answered first.Calls come in at a rate of about 15 per hour. The clerk is capable of taking an order in an averageof 3 minutes. Calls tend to follow a Poisson distribution, and service times tend to be exponential.The clerk is paid $15 per hour, but because of lost goodwill and sales, CWD loses about $30 perhour of customer time spent waiting for the clerk to take an order. Part B CWD is considering adding a second clerk to take calls. The store would pay that person thesame $15 per hour.Using appropriate formula for the multiple channel model, answer the following questions. a. What is the probability that no customers are…

They have researched several other closure products on themarket and have decided to try using a new closure in a test run of 91 bottles theirchardonnay. After allowing the wine to stay in the bottles for the time it generally takes toget it from the winery to customers, they tested the run and found 16 spoiled bottles. As thecompany has a both an immediate financial and reputation risk, they want to be 90% surethat changing the closures will help limit wine spoilage. What do their results suggest? a)What is known?

The supervisor at the Precision Machine Shop wants to determine the staffing policy that minimizes total operating costs.

A private investment club has $200,000 earmarked for investment in stocks. To arrive at anacceptable overall level of risk, the stocks that management is considering have been classifiedinto three categories: high risk, medium risk, and low risk. Management estimates that high-riskstocks will have a rate of return of 15%/year; medium-risk stocks, 10%/year; and low-risk stocks,6%/year. The members have decided that the investment in low-risk stocks should be equal tothe sum of the investments in the stocks of the other two categories. Determine how much theclub should invest in each type of stock if the investment goal is to have a return of$20,000/year on the total investment. (Assume that all the money available for investment isinvested.)Note: Develop the linear system of equations from the above theory and solve the system byGauss Jordon Method.
