A new mechanized luggage system will be installed in 3 years, so the tractor will not be needed after that.

Contingency Table

A contingency table can be defined as the visual representation of the relationship between two or more categorical variables that can be evaluated and registered. It is a categorical version of the scatterplot, which is used to investigate the linear relationship between two variables. A contingency table is indeed a type of frequency distribution table that displays two variables at the same time.

Binomial Distribution

Binomial is an algebraic expression of the sum or the difference of two terms. Before knowing about binomial distribution, we must know about the binomial theorem.

Question

At a small but growing airport, the local airline company is purchasing a new tractor for a
tractor-trailer train to bring luggage to and from the airplanes. A new mechanized luggage
system will be installed in 3 years, so the tractor will not be needed after that. However, because
it will receive heavy use, so that the running and maintenance costs will increase rapidly as the
tractor ages, it may still be more economical to replace the tractor after 1 or 2 years. The
following table gives the total net discounted cost associated with purchasing a tractor (purchase
price minus trade-in allowance, plus running and maintenance costs) at the end of year i and
trading it in at the end of year j (where year 0 is now).

The problem is to determine at what times (if any) the tractor should be replaced to minimize the
total cost for the tractors over 3 years. Formulate this problem as a shortest-path problem by
drawing a network after you define nodes, arcs, and number of each arc.

Netflix made headlines in September 2011 when it split its streaming video service and its DVD by-mail service into two companies. This decision was based on projections that streaming videos will replace DVDs in the future. In this problem, you will explore these projections. Numbers below are close to the correct values, but vary to allow more practice with this idea. Total DVD and Blu-ray disc sales in 2009 were $8.72 billion. For the purposes of this problem, you will combine DVD and Blue-ray disk sales into one category of DVD sales. A study by In-Stat predicted that "physical disc sales will decline by $4.7 billion by 2014," and that "streaming, on the other hand, should grow from its current $2.1 billion to $6.3 billion over the same time period (2009–2014)."12 What is the slope, including units, of the model for DVD sales? Write a statement interpreting the meaning of the slope in the context of the problem.
Brawdy Plastics, Inc., produces plastic seat belt retainers for General Motors at the Brawdy Plastics plant in Buffalo, New York. After final assembly and painting, the parts are placed on a conveyor belt that moves the parts past a final inspection station. How fast the parts move past the final inspection station depends upon the line speed of the conveyor belt (feet per minute). Although faster line speeds are desirable, management is concerned that increasing the line speed too much may not provide enough time for inspectors to identify which parts are actually defective. To test this theory, Brawdy Plastics conducted an experiment in which the same batch of parts, with a known number of defective parts, was inspected using a variety of line speeds. The following data were collected. LineSpeed Number ofDefectiveParts Found 20 23 20 21 30 19 30 15 40 16 40 18 50 14 50 10 (a) Develop a scatter diagram with the line speed as the independent variable. A…

If a company A manufactures t-shirts and sells them to retailers for $9.80 each. It has fixed cost of $2625 related to the production of the t-shirts and production cost per unit is $2.30. Company B also manufactures t-shirts and sell them directly to consumers. The demand for this product is p= 15-x/125, its production cost per unit is $5.00 and its fixed cost is the same as company A. 1. Derive the total revenue function, R(x) for company B. 2. Derive the profit function, for company B. 3. How many t- shirts should company B sell to in order to break even. 4. How many t- shirts must company B sell to maximise its profit.
Question 4 Maggie works at a very popular freshly squeezed lemonade stand on a beach that sells regular lemonade and strawberry lemonade. To make a glass of regular lemonade it takes 4 whole lemons. To make a glass of strawberry lemonade it takes 3 whole lemons and 2 average sized strawberries. The owners figured they have a budget so that each morning a truck delivers 900 lemons to the stand and 408 strawberries to the stand. On each glass of regular lemonade, a profit of R1,95 is made. The stand is able to charge more for strawberry lemonades and a profit of R2,10 is made on each glass of that. The owners want Maggie to sell at least twice the amount of strawberry lemonade each day as regular lemonade because more profit is made on the strawberry lemonade. They have also asked that at least 50 strawberry lemonades get sold each day because the strawberries spoil more quickly than the lemons. How many regular lemonades and how many strawberry lemonades should Maggie sell each day to…

From the data given compute the sales price for each product T and O. From the data given compute variable cost per unit for each product T and O. Letter Co. produces and sells two products, T and O. It manufactures these products in separate factories and markets them through different channels. They have no shared costs. This year, the company sold 50,000 units of each product. Sales and costs for each product follow.
Suppose that a company needs 1,500,000 items during a year and that preparation for each production run costs $900. Suppose also that it costs $14 to produce each item and $3 per year to store an item. Use the inventory cost model to find the number of items in each production run so that the total costs of production and storage are minimized.
