In many manufacturing processes, the term work-in-process (often abbreviated WIP) is used. At BLK publishing book manufacturing

plants, WIP represents the time it takes for sheets from a press to be folded, gathered, sewn, tipped on end sheets, and bound together to form a book, and the book placed in a packing carton. The operational definition of the variable of interest, processing time, is the number of days (measured in hundredths) from when the sheets came off the press to when the book is placed in the packing carton. The data below represent samples of WIP times for 20 books at each of two manufacturing plants, Plant 1 and Plant 2. NOTE: You can copy and paste the data into Excel/PHStat. The manager of Plant 1 claims that his WIP time is lower than the WIP time at Plant 2.

Answer and step -by-step explanation:

a) estimate with 99% confidence interval plant 1

 Middle Floor 1 = 9,417

Standard Deviation = 4,979

Given alpha = 1 - (. 99) = .01

Z = 2,045

CI = Average +/- (Z * SD / sqrt (n))

the result is:

CI = 7.14 to 11.62

b) estimate with 99% confidence interval plant 1

Plant mean 2 = 11,353

Standard deviation = 6.293

Given alpha = 1 - (. 99) = .01

Z = 2,045

CI = Average +/- (Z * SD / sqrt (n))

Outcome:

CI = 8.47 to 14.23

c) Yes, they are compatible because the IC is lower for both limits in Plant 1 than in Plant 2

d) it must be true that the confidence intervals between wider, will have less probability of error and more success, however when this is very small the possibility of error will also increase

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

B) irrational. Since an irrational number cannot equal a rational number.  

The premise that c is rational is false

Step-by-step explanation:

The assumption that c is rational means that the difference c-a must be rational. That difference is b, so b=c-a would mean that b must be rational. But b is defined to be irrational. Since an irrational number cannot equal a rational number, a contradiction arises and the assumption that c is rational must be false. Therefore the sum (c) must be irrational. (B)

Compare A and B if 70% of A is equal to $0.7a and 35% of B is equal to $0.35a
MrRa [10]

Answer:

A=B

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation 1: 70% of A = 0.7a

Equation 2: 35% of B = 0.35a

Equation 3 = (Equation 2) • 2

Equation 3: 70% of B = 0.7a

Equation 3 = Equation 1

A = B

If the farmer has 234 feet of fencing, what are the dimensions of the region which enclose the maximal area?
marissa [1.9K]

Answer: 58 ft × 58 ft  

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the region = x feet

And, the width of the region = y feet

Since, the perimeter of the region = 234 feet ( Given )

⇒ 2(x+y) = 234

⇒ x+y = 117

⇒ y = 117 - x

Again the area of the region, A = xy

⇒ A(x) = x(117-x)

⇒ A(x) = 117x - x^2

By differentiating the above equation with respect to x,

⇒ A'(x) = 117 - 2x  

For maxima or minima,

A'(x) = 0

\implies 117 - 2x = 0

\implies -2x = -117

\implies x = 58.5

Again differentiating equation A'(x) with respect to x,

We get, A''(x) = -2

Hence, For x = 58.5 A''(x) = negative

⇒ For x = 58.5 feet the area A(x) is maximum,

⇒ The length of the region having maximum area = x = 58.5 feet

And, the width of the region having maximum area = y = 117-x= 117 - 58.5=58.5 feet,

⇒ The dimension of the region having the maximum area = 58.5 ft × 58.5 ft

Given: PRST square
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

7a²/16

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the triangle PTS

½ × a × a

a²/2

Length of PS:

sqrt(a² + a²)

asqrt(2)

Length of MS:

¼asqrt(2)

Triangles MCS and TPS are similar

With sides in the ratio:

¼asqrt(2) : a

sqrt(2)/4 : 1

Area of triangle SMC:

A/(a²/2) = [(sqrt(2)/4)]²

2A/a² = 1/8

A = a²/16

Area of PTMC

= a²/2 - a²/16

= 7a²/16

Leah borrows £10,000 over 5 years at a simple interest rate of 15%.
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

She will pay $7,500 interest over the 5 years

She will have to pay back $17,500 in total

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise the rule of the simple interest

<em>I</em> = <em>Prt</em> and <em>A</em> = <em>P</em>(1 +<em> rt</em>) , where:

  • A = Total Accrued Amount (principal + interest)
  • P = Principal Amount
  • I = Interest Amount
  • r = Rate of Interest per year in decimal
  • t = Time Period involved in months or years

∵ Leah borrows £10,000 over 5 years at a simple interest rate of 15%.

∴ P = 10,000

∴ t = 5

∴ r = 15% = \frac{15}{100} = 0.15

→ Substitute them in the first rule to find the interest

∵ I = 10,000(0.15)(5)

∴ I = 7,500

∴ She will pay $7,500 interest over the 5 years

→ Let us find A

∵ A = 10,000(1 + 0.15×5)

∴ A = 17,500

∴ She will have to pay back $17,500 in total
