Jamaica has found signs of oil in 10 exploratory wells drilled into deep underground structures. Now it's come to Houston looking for oil companies willing to help the island nation, which depends heavily on tourism, bauxite and alumina, to become the world's next oil and natural gas producer. Hopeful Jamaican officials traveled to Houston promoting the nation's first formal license round, offering 22 offshore blocks and four on-shore blocks. "There are plenty of reserves yet to be found -- exploration in new frontiers is now warranted," said Raymond Wright of the Petroleum Corporation of Jamaica, reflecting on the world's supply dilemma. 2 Oil explorers order seismic tests to determine whether oil is likely to be found in a certain drilling area. These seismic tests have a known reliability: When oil exists the tests indicate so 85% of the time and when oil does not exist the tests will erroneously indicate that it exists 10% of the time. The explorer believes that there is a 40%…
An Employee Value Proposition (EVP) is about defining the essence of a company. The EVP is the value an employee receives from the employer; it defines the commitment the company will make to develop the employee in exchange for the effort the employee puts in to benefit the company. But do all agree on what makes a unique and compelling EVP? A study showed that 13% of business executives, 36%cof HR leaders, and 33% of employees say that compensation (pay andrewards) makes for a unique and compelling EVP. Assume that 200 individuals within each business group were surveyed.
A) The test statistic is χ2STAT=? (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
B) The critical value for α=0.05 is = ? (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
C) What is the p-value? (Round to three decimal places as needed.)

- In the city of Milford, applications for zoning changes go through a two-step process: a review by the planning commission and a final decision by the city council. At step 1, the planning commission reviews the zoning change request and makes a positive or negative recommendation concerning the change. At step 2, the city council reviews the planning commission's recommendation and then votes to approve or to disapprove the zoning change. Suppose the developer of an apartment complex submits an application for a zoning change. Consider the application process as an experiment. (a) How many sample points are there for this experiment?

The Porsche Club of America sponsors driver education events that provide high-performance driving instruction on actual racetracks. Because safety is a primary consideration at such events, many owners elect to install roll bars in their cars. Deegan Industries manufactures two types of roll bars for Porsches. Model DRB is bolted to the car using existing holes in the car’s frame. Model DRW is a heavier roll bar that must be welded to the car’s frame. Model DRB requires 20 pounds of special high-alloy steel, 40 minutes of manufacturing time, and 60 minutes of assembly time. Model DRW requires 25 pounds of the special high-alloy steel, 100 minutes of manufacturing time, and 40 minutes of assembly time. Deegan’s steel supplier indicated that at most 40,000 pounds of the high-alloy steel will be available next quarter. In addition, Deegan estimates that 2000 hours of manufacturing time and 1600 hours of assembly time will be available next quarter. The profit contributions are $200…arrow_forward
