MSA Computer Corporation manufactures two models of minicomputers, the Alpha 4 and the Beta 5. The firm employs five technicians, working 160 hours each per month, on its assembly line. Management insists that full employment (i.e., all 160 hours of time) be maintained for each worker during next month’s operations. It requires 20 labor hours to assemble each Alpha 4 computer and 25 labor hours to assemble each Beta 5 model. MSA wants to see at least 10 Alpha 4s and at least 15 Beta 5s produced during the production period. Alpha 4s generate $1,200 profit per unit, and Beta 5s yield $1,800 each. Determine the most profitable number of each model of minicomputer to produce during the coming month.

A meat processing factory performs tasks by a series of 4 operators. Below table lists for each of the four resource pools, the unit load and the number of resource units. Base on this information, compute the effective capacity of each of the resource pools. Which one is the bottleneck of the meat processing operation?     operator 3 operator 1 operator 2 operator 4

This exercise requires the use of technology.Four sectors of the U.S. economy are (1) livestock and livestock products, (2) other agricultural products, (3) forestry and fishery products, and (4) agricultural, forestry, and fishery services. Suppose that in 1977 the input-output table involving these four sectors was as follows (all figures are in millions of dollars).Determine how these four sectors would react to an increase in demand for livestock (Sector 1) of $1,000 million, how they would react to an increase in demand for other agricultural products (Sector 2) of $1,000 million, and so on. (Round your answers to two decimal places. Let the columns of the matrix be given in millions of dollars.)                                     To 1 2 3 4 From        1 11,937 9 109 855 2 26,649 4,285 0 4,744 3 0 0 439 61 4 5,423 10,952 3,002 216 Total Output 97,795 120,594 14,642 47,473

Johnson Industries received a contract to develop and produce four high-intensity longdistance receiver/transmitters for cellular telephones. The i rst took 2,000 labor hours and $39,000 worth of purchased and manufactured parts; the second took 1,500 labor hours and $37,050 in parts; the third took 1,450 labor hours and $31,000 in parts; and the fourth took 1,275 labor hours and $31,492 in parts.Johnson was asked to bid on a follow-on contract for another dozen receiver/transmitter units. Ignoring any forgetting factor effects, what should Johnson estimate time and parts costs to be for the dozen units? (Hint: There are two learning curves—one for labor and one for parts.)

Anela is a computer scientist who is formulating a large and complicated program for a type of data processing. She has three ways of storing and retrieving data: cloud storage, disk, or hard drive. As an experiment, she sets up her program in three different ways: one using cloud storage, one using disks, and the other using a hard drive. Then she makes four test runs of this type of data processing on each program. The time required to execute each program is shown in the following table (in minutes). Use a 0.01 level of significance to test the hypothesis that the mean processing time is the same for each method. Hard Drive Cloud Disks 8.8 7.5 7.1 8.8 9.2 6.6 8.0 7.2 10.2 7.6 7.9 8.0   (i) Give the value of the level of significance. (ii) Find the sample test statistic. (Round your F Ratio to two decimal places. Round all other answers to four decimal places.) (vi) In the case of one-way ANOVA, make a summary table. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)…

Assume that producing 1 unit of calcium requires 0.4 units of calcium, 0.1 units of hydrogen, and 0.1 units of sea salt; that producing 1 nit of hydrogen requires 0.2 units of calcium, 0.3 units of hydrogen, and 0.1 units of sea salt; and that producing 1 unit of sea salt equires 3 units of calcium, 0 units of hydrogen, and 0.2 units of sea salt. Find the production schedule that satisfies an external demand for 41 units of calcium, 39 units of hydrogen, and 11 units of sea salt. X =

A researcher is interested in the effects of diazepam on anxiety in rats. She takes a group of 15 female rats and injects them with 0.005 mg of diazepam for every 100 g the rats weigh, and takes a different group of female rats and injects them with saline. She then puts them all on an elevated-plus maze for 15 minutes and observes how long they spend (in seconds) in the enclosed arms versus the open arms. The less time they spend in the enclosed arms means they have less anxiety. She also weighs them before the injection to make sure she gets the dosage correct. a. Identify the population of interest b. Identify the Independent variable. c. Identify the Dependent variable. d. What scale of measurement was used for the independent variable? Explain why you think so. e. Was the independent variable discrete or continuous? Explain why you think so. f. What scale of measurement was used for the dependent variable? Explain why you think so. g. How could you change the dependent measurement…
