Create a weighted scoring model to determine grades for a course. Final grades are based on threeexams worth 20 percent, 15 percent, and 25 percent, respectively; homework is worth 15 percent;and a group project is worth 25 percent. Enter scores for three students. Assume that Student 1earns 90 percent (or 90) on every item. Assume that Student 2 earns 70 percent on each of theexams, 80 percent on the homework, and 95 percent on the group project. Assume that Student 3earns 90 percent on Exam 1, 80 percent on Exam 2, 75 percent on Exam 3, 80 percent on thehomework, and 70 percent on the group project.

Sarah Chang is the owner of a small electronics company. In six months, a proposal is due for an electronic timing system for the next Olympic Games. For several years, Chang’s company has been developing a new microprocessor, a critical component in a timing system that would be superior to any product currently on the market. However, progress in research and development has been slow, and Chang is unsure whether her staff can produce the microprocessor in time. If they succeed in developing the microprocessor (probability p1), there is an excellent chance (probability p2) that Chang’s company will win the $1 million Olympic contract. If they do not, there is a small chance (probability p3) that she will still be able to win the same contract with an alternative but inferior timing system that has already been developed. If she continues the project, Chang must invest $200,000 in research and development. In addition, making a proposal (which she will decide whether to do after…

In contract negotiations between a local government agency and its workers, it is estimated that there is a 50% chance that an agreement will be reached on the salaries of the workers. It is estimated that there is a 70% chance that there will be an agreement on the insurance benefits. There is a 20% chance that no agreement will be reached on either issue. Are the agreement on salaries (S) and the agreement on insurance (I) independent events? O not independent because P(S) P(I) # P(S and I) O independent because P(S) P(I) = P(S and I) %3D Oindependent because P(S) P(I) P(S and !)
An engineer failed to finish its building construction contract on time. With this, a penalty of P10,000 will be paid for each day that passes beyond the date of contract. According to the engineers estimate, if the construction will continue with the same number of workers, the project will be finished 30 days after the contract date. But the engineer also has an option of hiring more workers to hasten the construction process. Every additional worker, the engineer has to pay P3,000 per day and every 3 additional workers the construction period will be lowered down by 1 day. But, the engineer can only hire 21 workers. If you are the engineer, what method are you going to follow so as to incur a lesser amount of extra construction cost? Just pay P10,000 per day for 30 days? Or just hire additional workers to lower down the construction time?
Please do not give solution in image formate thanku. 11-24 Using PERT, Ed Rose was able to determine that the expected project completion time for the construction of a pleasure yacht is 21 months and the project variance is 4.

A company is operating in two unrelated businesses. The first one is making common salt, which is sold in one kilogram consumer packs. The second business is making readymade garments. The owner of the businesses has decided to implement Materials Requirement Planning (MRP) in one of the two businesses, which is likely to give him greater benefit. Assuming that the current turnover and profits of both the units are comparable, compare the relative benefits and limitations of Materials Requirement Planning (MRP) for these two businesses.

the market in the small rural town of centerville has been very hot. values are leveling off but single family residences remain scarce . a potential buyer asks about the advisability of buying some farmland outside of town to develop into single family lots for sale to builders. she has noticed several builders already getting ready for new subdivisions by preparing new lots . how might a broker best advise this potential buyer. a) he should suggest to this potential buyer that her timing is perfect. The slowing residential market will give her a chance to get the lots ready and she can probably pre-sell some to builders and raise some cash. Since strong markets usually last a decade or more, she should line up her financing and get started. b) in a cycle like the one described, builders always play "follow the leader". The builders obviously will sell their new homes quickly and a broker should encourage this potential buyer to go ahead with her plan to she can be ready to profit by…
