You are employed as a network engineer and have been asked to analyze a communication network to determine the current data rates and ensure that the links aren’t at risk of “reaching capacity.” In the following figure of the network, the sender is transmitting data at a total rate of 100+50 = 150 megabits per second (Mbps). The data is transmitted from the sender to the receiver over a network of five different routers. These routers are labeled A, B, C, D, and E. The connections and data rates between the routers are labeled as x1,x2, x3, x4, and x5 . Directions For this assignment, you will analyze the communication network and solve for the unknown data rates using a variety of techniques. The system can be modeled mathematically as a system of linear equations by writing an equation for each node/router in the network. Each of these equations can be written by noting that the sum of inputs must equal the sum of outputs.

A certain company produces fidget spinners with ball bearings made of either plastic or metal. Under standard testing conditions, fidget spinners from this company with plastic bearings spin for an average of 2.7 minutes, while those from this company with metal bearings spin for an average of 4.2 minutes. A random sample of three fidget spinners with plastic bearings is selected from company stock, and each is spun one time under the same standard conditions; let x¯1x¯1 represent the average spinning time for these three spinners. A random sample of seven fidget spinners with metal bearings is selected from company stock, and each is likewise spun one time under standard conditions; let x¯2x¯2 represent the average spinning time for these seven spinners.

The 2019-2020 flu season was especially tough. By the end of the season, an estimated total of 49 million people in the United States had contracted the flu, of whom an estimated 79,000 died from the flu. Assume that the US population was 300,000,000 during the 2019-2020 flu season and that during the season, a total of 2.9 million Americans died from all causes (including the flu). Assume the population of the US remained the same at the midpoint of the season. Report mortality rates per 100,000. Be sure to express the measure in the correct format. a.What was the proportionate mortality rate from flu during the 2019-2020 flu season? b.What was the case fatality rate from flue during the 2019-2020 flu season?

Based on this information alone, can we determine that the risk of dying from flu in 2019 was higher in this country compared to the US? Why or why not?
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.
