Many manufacturers have quality control programs that include inspection of incoming materials for defects. Suppose a computer m

anufacturer receives circuit boards in batches of five. Two boards are selected from each batch for inspection. We can represent possible outcomes of the selection process by pairs. For example, the pairs (1, 2) and (2, 1) represent the selection of boards 1 and 2 for inspection. (a) List the ten different possible outcomes. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list of ordered pairs.) (b) Suppose that boards 1 and 4 are the only defective boards in a batch. Two boards are to be chosen at random. Define X to be the number of defective boards observed among those inspected. Find the probability distribution of X.

Answer:

Explanation:

There are total 5 batches and two boards are selected from each batch for inspection.

Let the boards are numbered from 1 to 5.

If the selected boards are 1 and 2, then it is represented in pair as (1, 2).

If the selected boards are 1 and 3, then it is represented in pair as (1, 3).

Similarly, other pairs can be obtained.

a) Let X be the number of defective boards observed among the two inspected.

If the boards 1 and 2 are the only defective boards in a lot of five, then

(1,2),x=2; (1,3),x=1; (1,4),x=1; (1,5),x=1;

(2,3),x=1; (2,4),x=1; (2,5),x=1;

(3,4),x=0;\ (3,5),x=0;\ (4,5),x=0.(3,4),x=0; (3,5),x=0; (4,5),x=0.

P(X=0)=  3/10 =0.3

P(X=1)={6 \over 10}=0.6P(X=1)=  6/10 =0.6

P(X=2)={1 \over 10}=0.1P(X=2)=  1/10 =0.1

b)

x                  0               1                    2

p(x)            0.3           0.6                0.1

​

​μ  X  =0⋅0.3+1⋅0.6+2⋅0.1=0.8

σ  X ² =(0−0.8)²  ⋅0.3+(1−0.8)²  ⋅0.6+(2−0.8)² ⋅0.1=0.36

μₓ=0.8, σX  =0.6

Your company experienced 20% percent turnover last year. This means 20 percent of people employed at the beginning of the year w
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

48

Explanation:

Employee turnover is the rate at which employees leave a company, whether voluntary or involuntary.

In this company, 20 percent of employees leave every year.

If the company intends to have 40 more workers, it should plan to hire the 40 plus an extra 20 percent.

The company should hire 40 plus 20% of 40

=40 + (20/100 x 40)

=40 +(0.2 x40)

=40 +8

=48

The company should hire 48 workers

The competitive equilibrium rent in a standard two bedroom apartment in lawrence (a city) is $600. now suppose the city council
Mekhanik [1.2K]
<span>Setting a rent control price ceiling will cause the same impact as any other price ceiling that is below the market equilibrium price: it will create a shortage in the market. At the price equilibrium of $600, the number of renters would exactly meet the number of available 2 bedroom apartments. However, with this fixed price ceiling, the position along the demand curve will shift to one of higher demand, with no analogous change in the supply curve. Thus there will be more renters than can be supported, and renters will have to look for alternatives and substitutes.</span>

A North Face retail store in Chicago sells 500 jackets each month. Each jacket costs the store $100 and the company has an annua
algol13

Answer:

1) What is the annual holding and ordering cost?

annual ordering cost = $100 x 12 = $1,200

annual holding cost = ($100 x 25%) x [500 x 1/2(average inventory)] = $6,250

total $7,450

2) On average, how long does a jacket spend in inventory?

= 30 days / 2 = 15 days

3) If the retail store wants to minimize ordering and holding cost, what order size do you recommend?

economic order quantity (EOQ) = √[(2 x annual demand x order cost) / annual holding cost per unit]

EOQ = √[(2 x 6,000 x 100) / 25] = √48,000 = 219.09 units ≈ 219 units

4) How much would the optimal order reduce holding and ordering cost relative to the current policy?

EOQ = 219

total number of orders = 6,000 / 219 = 27.4 per year

average inventory = 219 / 2 = 109.5 units

annual ordering cost = $100 x 27.4 = $2,740

annual holding cost = ($100 x 25%) x 109.5 = $2,737.50

total $5,477.50

annual savings = $7,450 - $5,477.50 = $1,972.50

ra1l [238]

Answer: a) Maude likely can successfully sue her employer for violation of a Whistleblower Protection Law.

Explanation:

Whistleblowers are people who call attention to illegal activities in their workplace which means that Maude qualifies as one.

In order to encourage people to speak out and call attention to illegal activities in the workplace, there are several laws at both Federal and State level that are aimed at protecting employees should they report said illegal activities.

This is why it is likely that Maude can sue her employer for violation of such laws but she must do so speedily to ensure that she can be helped as some of these laws tend to be limited.
