- QUESTION 3 In an effort to reduce energy costs, a major university has installed more efficient lights as well as automatic sensors that turn the lights off when no movement is present in a room. Historically, the cost of lighting an average classroom for 1 week has been $265. To determine whether the changes have signficantly reduced costs, the university takes a sample of 50 classrooms. They find that the average cost for 1 week is $247 with a standard deviation of $60. When testing whether the average energy use has decreased from the past (with a null hypothesis that the use has increased) (using the 5% level of significance), what is the p-value?

If Nitro markets the product and it is successful, the company will earn a $50,000 profit; if it is unsuccessful, the company will lose$35,000. In the past, similar products have been successful 60% of the time. At a cost of $5,000,3 the effectiveness of the new fertilizer can be tested. If the test result is favorable and Nitro markets the product, there is an 80% chance that the fertilizer will be successful. If the test result is unfavorable and Nitro markets the product, there is only a 30% chance that the fertilizer will be successful. There is a 60% chance of a favorable test result and a 40% chance of an unfavorable test result. Use a decision tree to determine how to maximize this company’s expected profit.

- QUESTION 2 A. In Akhwan Company, operations director Mr Tamad recently realized there had been an increase in products failing during the final quality checks. These checks were carried out in the QC (quality control) laboratory, which tested finished goods products before being released for sale. The product failure rate had risen from 1% to 4% in two years' time which meant an increase of hundreds of items of output a month which were not sold to Akhwan's customers. The failed products had no value to the company once they had failed QC as the rework costs were not economic. Because the increase was gradual, it took a while for Mr Tamad to realize that the failure rate had risen. A thorough review of the main production operation revealed nothing that might explain the increased failure and so attention was focused on the QC laboratory. For some years, the QC laboratory at Ikhwan, managed by Ramly, had been marginalized in the company, with its two staff working in a remote…arrow_forwardQUESTION 12 A company has experienced the following quarterly sales for the past eight quarters Demand Quarter (year Quarter (year 1) 2) 1 2 3 5 Deman d 10 12 22 6 26 26 7 30 4 19 8 22 Considering the following values for the intercept, slope, seasonal factors, and smoothing constants Go= 2.3362, So=-29.36, c.3= 0.5330, c.2-1.1752, c.1 1.2825, co=0.9203 a=0.2, y=0.1, B=0.1 Forecast four period ahead demand at time t=0.
