A contractor, Susan Meyer, has to haul gravel to three building sites. She can purchase as much as 18 tons at a gravel pit in the north
of the city and 14 tons at one in the south. She needs 10, 5, and 10 tons at sites 1, 2, and 3, respectively. The purchase price per ton
at each gravel pit and the hauling cost per ton are given in the table below. Susan wishes to determine how much to haul from each pit
to each site to minimize the total cost for purchasing and hauling gravel.

Now suppose that trucks (and their drivers) need to be hired to do the hauling, where each truck can only be used to haul gravel from
a single pit to a single site. Each truck can haul 5 tons, and the cost per truck is five times the hauling cost per ton given above. Only
full trucks would be used to supply each site.

With their current renovation plan, they hope to increase their screens to three. As of now, they are still in need of $14,000 to finish the construction project. Through market research completed on their members as well as the greater community, they estimated that each donator would give around $50. As the donations have been coming in over the course of the last 18 months, they believe that the research estimate may have been too high. They created a sample of members consisting of 40 individuals. On average, they are willing to give $40 and the standard deviation for the sample is $1.35. With an alpha of .05, construct an appropriate hypothesis test. If you find that the null hypothesis is not true, what real world circumstance may have affected the research estimate?arrow_forward

It was typically about a 2,000-mile journey, and pioneers averaged about 10 miles per day. One pioneer family, the Smiths, is planning to join a wagon train traveling west to Oregon. The destination is Fort Vancouver, which is near present-day Portland. The family plans to join a wagon train in St. Louis. However, the trains follow various trails west that are mostly determined by the location of forts and trading posts along the way. The Smith family wants to choose a wagon train that will get them to Oregon in the shortest amount of time. They have checked around with the different wagon train leaders plus immigrants, soldiers, fur traders, and scouts who have previously made the trip west, and from the information they have gathered, they have developed the following network, with estimated times (in days) along each branch: a.
