A cosmetics company fills its best selling jars of facial cream by an automatic dispensing machine. The machine is set to dispense a mean of 7.2 ounces per jar. Uncontrollable factors in the process can cause either underfill or overfill, both of which are undesireable. In such a case, the dispensing can be stopped and recalibrated. Regardless of the mean amount despensed, the standard deviation of the amount dispwnsed always has a value of 0.25 ounce. A quality control engineer routinely selects 36 jars from the assembly line to check the amounts filled. On one occasion, the sample mean is 7.8 ounces. Determine if there is sufficient evidence in the sample to indicate, at the 1% level of significance, that the machine should be recalibrated.
STAR Co. provides paper to smaller companies with volumes that are not large enough to warrant dealing directly with the paper mill. STAR receives 100-feet-wide paper rolls from the mill and cuts
the rolls into smaller rolls of widths 12, 15, and 30 feet. The demands for these widths vary from week to week. The following cutting patterns have been established.

Trim loss is the leftover paper from a pattern (e.g., for pattern 4, 3(12)+ 0(15) + 2(30) 96 feet used results in 100-96-4 foot of trim loss). Orders in hand for the coming week are 5,660 12-
foot rolls, 1,690 15-foot rolls, and 3,340 30-foot rolls. Any of the three types of rolls produced in excess of the orders in hand will be sold on the open market at the selling price. No inventory is held.

The warehouse management system (WMS) of RoyaTech's
Delaware Valley warehouse tracks service level at the
warehouse. A service level failure at the warehouse is an event
where a customer's order could not be shipped out in full by
the promised shipping time.
RoyalTech's ordering system prevents customers from placing
orders on products that are not in-stock at the warehouse.
Therefore, we can make the statement that "the WMS is
guaranteed to show 100% service level at the warehouse."
Choose the most appropriate statement in response:
O True, because orders will be placed only for products that are
available.
O False, because service level can never be 100%.
O False, because resource constraint or human error may delay the
shipping even though inventory is available in the system.
O False, because WMS calculations are faulty.

- At the beginning of each week, a machine is in one of four conditions: 1 = excellent; 2 = good; 3 = average; 4 = bad. The weekly revenue earned by a machine in state 1, 2, 3, or 4 is 100, 90, 50, or 10, respectively. After observing the condition of the machine at the beginning of the week, the company has the option, for a cost of 200, of instantaneously replacing the machine with an excellent machine. The quality of the machine deteriorates over time, as shown in the file P10 41.xlsx. Four maintenance policies are under consideration: Policy 1: Never replace a machine. Policy 2: Immediately replace a bad machine. Policy 3: Immediately replace a bad or average machine. Policy 4: Immediately replace a bad, average, or good machine. Simulate each of these policies for 50 weeks (using at least 250 iterations each) to determine the policy that maximizes expected weekly profit.
