Two competing brands, Rain and Shine, produced two different latex paints and planned to sponsor a home makeover by Marie Condo TV (MCTV). While thankful for these two sponsorships, MCTV producers wish to partner with the brand with the most consistent drying times since, based on experience, some paints from another brand dry fast while some dry longer than expected even if the paints came from the same brand. Fourteen specimens from Rain and sixteen specimens from Shine were collected, and their drying times (in hours) are as follows: Rain Shine 3.5 4.7 2.7 3.9 3.9 4.5 4.2 5.5 3.6 4.0 2.1 5.3 3.8 4.3 5.2 6.0 4.2 5.2 2.9 3.7 4.4 5.5 5.2 6.2 4.0 5.7 4.1 5.4 4.8 4.4 Assuming that the drying time is normally distributed, construct a 95% Cl to determine which paint brand produced more consistent drying times.

If during the following year it is predicted that each comedy skit will generate 30 thousand and each musical number 20 thousand, find the maximum income for the year. A television program director must schedule comedy skits and musical numbers for prime-time variety shows. Each comedy skit requires 2 hours of rehearsal time, costs 3000, and brings in 20,000 from the shows sponsors. Each musical number requires 1 hour of rehearsal time, costs 6000, and generates 12,000. If 250 hours are available for rehearsal and 600,000 is budgeted for comedy and music, how many segments of each type should be produced to maximize income? Find the maximum income.
California Wine producer Chill Wines has in their line a mid-market chardonnay, of whichthey produce 200,000 bottles a year. They have been bottling their wines with natural corkclosures, which are known to have sealing issues resulting in the spoilage of wine, aproblem that is worse in their chardonnay than in the other wines they sell. This problem,which results in a 15% spoilage rate for their chardonnay, is both expensive and impactsthe company’s reputation. 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?

Whenever Toronto has severe snow storm, many flights are delayed and Pearson International Airport has to deploy resources to clear the apron, taxiways and runaways to ensure that the airport continues to remain operational in addition to making sure all the departing aircraft are completely de-iced before they take-off. This is a critical safety measure as aircraft with ice buildup on the wings or the fuselage during take-off can be catastrophic. At the same time, the de-icing operation is extremely time consuming and costly, and must be accurately factored into the forecast of an airport's operation to ensure optimal and safe performance. You are the Operations Manager at Pearson International Airport, and after reviewing the snowfall patterns for the last 10 years, you have determined the following probabilities: The chance of having a severe snow storm during the winter season is 0.15 The chance of having major flight delays during the winter season is 0.35 Amongst the days there…
There are two types of farming tractors on the market, the FT250 and the FT500. The only difference between the two is that the FT250 is more prone to accidents than the FT500. Over their lifetime, 1 in 10 FT250s is expected to result in an accident, as compared to 1 in 25 FT500s. Further, 1 in 1,000 FT250s is expected to result in a fatal accident, as compared to only 1 in 5,000 FT500s. The FT250 sells for $125,000 while the FT500 sells for $137,000. At these prices, 2,000 of each model are purchased each year. What is the statistical value farmers place on avoiding a tractor accident? What is the statistical value of a life of a farmer?
A grower estimates that if he picks his apple crop now, he will obtain 1000 boxes of apples, which he can sell at $30 per box. However, he thinks his crop will increase by 120 boxes of apples for each week he delays picking, but that the price will drop at a rate of $1.50 per box per week; in addition, he estimates that approximately 20 boxes per week will spoil for each week he delays picking. (a) When should he pick his crop to obtain the largest total cash return? How much will he receive for his crop at that time? (b) Build a spreadsheet to calculate the profit for 0, 1, 2, …, 6 weeks.
The research department at a manufacturing company has developed a new process that it believes will result in an improved product. Management must decide whether to go ahead and market the new product. The new product may or may not be better than the old one. If the new product is better and the company decides to market it, sales should increase by $60,000. If it is not better and they replace the old product with the new product on the market, they will lose $25,000 to competitors. If they decide not to market the new product, they will lose a total of $50,000 if it is better and just research costs of $20,000 if it is not. Answer parts a through c below.

A food manufacturing company wants to hire an auditing firm to asses their food safety performance. Two auditing firms are considered: firm A will change 42$/hr and a flat fee of $4500, while firm B will charge 50$/hr with a flat fee of $3900. What is the break-even point in number of required auditing hours that would yield equal value from both companies?
