Casper Geriatric Center, a senior medical facility located in a large hospital in New Zealand, started a procedure where their guests receive their meals in their rooms while the food is still as hot as possible. The facility will continue to prepare the food in the commissary, but will now deliver it in bulk (not individual servings) to one of three new meal serving stations in the building. From there, the food will be reheated, meals will be placed on individual trays, loaded onto a cart, and distributed to the various floors and sections of the facility. The three new serving stations are as efficiently located as possible to reach the various hallways in the facility. The purpose of the new procedure is to increase the temperature of the hot meals that the guest receives. Therefore, the amount of time needed to deliver a tray from a serving station will determine the proper distribution of food from serving station to section. The table below summarizes the time associated with each possible distribution channel. DISTRIBUTION TIME (minutes) TO: DESTINATIONS FROM: Section A Section B Section C Section D Section E Section F SOURCES Station 10J 12 11 8 9 6 Station 6G 6 12 7 8 Station 2L 7 Station 10J can supply 200 meals. Station 6G can produce 225. The maximum that Station 2L can prepare is 275. This month, there are 700 guests in the facility, 30% are in Section D, 160 are divided equally in Sections A and F, Section B has 120, Section C has 30 more patients than Section B, and the rest are in Section E. This is a maximization problem. o True o False 6

Hillary and Adams, Inc., is a privately owned firm located in Atlanta that serves as the regional distributor of natu-ral food products for Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. They are particularlywell known for their unique blend of fiery hot Habanera sauces. Every week, a truck leaves the large distributioncenter in Atlanta to stock local warehouses located in Charlotte, North Carolina; Charleston, South Carolina;Columbia, South Carolina; Knoxville, Tennessee; Lexington, Kentucky; and Raleigh, North Carolina. The truckvisits each local warehouse only once and returns to Atlanta after all the deliveries have been completed. Thedistance between any two cities in miles is given below John Jensen, vice president of logistics at Hillary and Adams, Inc., is worried about the rising fuel costs.With a reduction in operating budgets, he is interested in finding a route that would minimize the distance trav-eled by the truck.Use the NN heuristic to identify a…

Some commercial airlines recirculate about half the air in the cabin during flights as a way to improve fuel efficiency. Other airlines make a policy of NOT recirculating the air and instead, have fresh air from the atmosphere constantly being inserted into the cabin with the “old” air being pumped out of the plane. A total of 1100 passengers flying from San Francisco to Denver were used for an experiment. After their flight, they were each given a list of symptoms associated with the common cold. They were asked to report if they experienced cold symptoms within 24 hours of the flight landing. Of the 517 passengers who flew on planes that recirculate the air, 108 reported post-flight cold symptoms. Of the 583 passengers who flew on airlines that do not use recirculation in the cabin, 110 reported symptoms. Suppose now that we want to use the recirculation of air data to explore “Goal #2”, which is to resolve a hypothesis test about . a) If we want to resolve this hypothesis…

A researcher working at Hershey's is interested in comparing two new chocolate bars: Chocolate Bar A versus Chocolate Bar B. The researcher expects the bars to be different in how much customers will eat per month. The researcher believes the more candy bars someone eats will indicate which one tastes the best. An experiment is designed to compare the two new bars. The number of candy bars eaten by one group of 8 people in a month is measured with Candy Bar A and then the number of candy bars eaten in the same month by another group of 8 participants is measured with Candy Bar B. Use the data below to determine if there is a difference in the consumption of the two candy bars. Candy Bar A Candy Bar B Number of Candy Bars eaten within a month 10, 30, 5, 35, 60, 3, 20, 30, 28, 27, 26, 27, 17, 25 12, 20 With a = .05, determine the critical value of t* that needs to be employed here. The value of the appropriate of t* is: 2.145 O 1.717 2.064 2.819 2.074 O The correct answer is not listed.

Assuming a group has one uniform rate, 40% of the group receives a 10% rate increase and 60% of the group receives a 20% increase, what is the total percentage increase for the group?

An interdepartmental task force is being formed to investigate an increase in violent crimes. 1/5 of the task force will be police officers from the local precinct. 1/4 will be ATF agents, and the remaining 22 will be from the FBI. How many people are participating in the task force?

Workers at a particular mining site receive an average of 35 days paid vacation, which is lower than the national average. The manager of this plant is under pressure from a local union to increase the amount of paid time off. However, he does not want to give more days off to the workers because that would be costly. Instead he decides he should fire 10 employees in such a way as to raise the average number of days off that are reported by his employees. In order to achieve this goal, should he fire employees who have the most number of days off, least number of days off, or those who have about the average number of days off?   a. He should fire employees who have the most number of days off.     b. No matter who he fires, it will not increase the amount of paid time off.     c. He should fire employees who have the average number of days off.     d. He should fire employees who have the least number of days off.

The Conch Café, located in Gulf Shores, Alabama, features casual lunches with a great view of the Gulf of Mexico. To accommodate the increase in business during the summer vacation season, Fuzzy Conch, the owner, hires a large number of servers as seasonal help. When he interviews a prospective server, he would like to provide data on the amount a server can earn in tips. He believes that the amount of the bill and the number of diners are both related to the amount of the tip. He gathered the following sample information.  Customer Amount of Tip Amount of Bill Number of Diners Customer Amount of Tip Amount of Bill Number of Diners 1   $ 7.00   $ 48.97   5 16 $ 3.30   $ 23.59   2 2     4.50     28.23   4 17   3.50     22.30   2 3     1.00     10.65   1 18   3.25     32.00   2 4     2.40     19.82   3 19   5.40     50.02   4 5     5.00     28.62   3 20   2.25     17.60   3 6     4.25     24.83   2 21   5.50     44.47   4 7     0.50     6.24   1 22   3.00     20.27   2…

You're a quality engineer at Norman's fouth largest cracker factory. where there are two production lines (A, which produces 20% of cracker boxes, and B which produces the rest).

Given that you're only looking at a line A, what is the probability that you will need a request a maitenance check.
