The field of a new soccer stadium is watered by three individual sprinkler systems, as shown by the A, B, and C regions in the figure below. Each sprinkler system is controlled by exactly one of three on-off valves in an underground maintenance room, and each sprinkler system can be turned on without turning on the other two systems.

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

2) The field of a new soccer stadium is watered by three individual sprinkler systems, as
shown by the A, B, and C regions in the figure below. Each sprinkler system is controlled
by exactly one of three on-off valves in an underground maintenance room, and each
sprinkler system can be turned on without turning on the other two systems. Each of the
valves is presently in the off position, and the field is dry. The valves have not been
labeled, so you do not know which valve controls which sprinkler system. You want to
correctly label the valves as A, B, and C. you also want to do it by making only one trip up
to the field. You cannot see the field from the
maintenance room, and no one is available to
help you. What procedure can you use to
determine how to correctly label the valves?
Assume that all of the valves and all of the
sprinkler systems are operating properly. Also
that
the sprinklers
are
either
completely off or completely on. Explain your
reasoning.

PROBLEM 03: The Jokia Cell Phone Company manufactures two models of cell phones - the Wombat and the Sloth. Each Wombat phone uses 2.5 ounces of gold leaf and 3 ounces of plastic, whereas each Sloth phone uses 2 ounces of gold leaf and 2 ounces of plastic. Each day, the company has only 370 ounces of gold leaf and 420 ounces of plastic to be used for making cell phones. If the company makes the correct number of each type of phone on a given day to use up all of the available gold leaf and plastic, how many Wombat phones will be made? A) 60 B) 100 C) 50 D) 90 E) 110 N) none of the above

Mexico City Bank of Commerce and Industry is a busy bank. Due to different customers' needs, it needs to assign a different number of tellers at the counter at different times of each day. The table below indicates the number of bank Employees/tellers needed at different hours of a day (from 9 am. to 5 pm) at one of its branches. The branch will hire two different types of Employees/tellers: Full-time Teller and Part-time Tellers. The following is a summary of the info. в Етployees Full-time Employees: The bank currently has employed 18 Full time tellers/employees. Full-time tellers that work from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Each full-timer will be paid $85 per day on average. The 18 employees can't be layoff. However, the manager may use only Part of the 18 Full-Time Employees in this branch and relocate the rest to another branch with a relocation-related cost $10 per-employee per-day. That is, the employees to be relocated to another department will cost this department $10, instead of $85, a…
Rivers in North Carolina contain small concentrations of mercury that can accumulate in fish over their lifetimes. The concentration of mercury in fish tissue can be obtained by catching fish and sending samples to a lab for analysis. A study was conducted on fish from the Waccamaw and Lumber Rivers to investigate mercury levels in tissues of largemouth bass. At several stations along each river a group of fish were caught, weighed and measured; in addition a filet from each fish was sent to a lab so that the tissue concentration of mercury could be determined. In all, 171 fish were caught at 15 different research stations along the Waccamaw and Lumber Rivers. Data from fish caught at one of these stations is shown in the following table: length weight 1616 47.0 1862 48.7 2855 55.7 1199 45.2 1320 44.7 1225 43.8 870 38.5 1455 45.8 1220 44.0 1033 40.4 Compute the correlation between length and weight for these fish. (Assume the correlation conditions have been…
A freshly brewed shot of espresso has three distinct components: the heart, body, and crema. The separation of these three components typically lasts only 10 to 20 seconds. To use the espresso shot in making a latte, a cappuccino, or another drink, the shot must be poured into the beverage during the separation of the heart, body, and crema. If the shot is used after the separation occurs, the drink becomes excessively bitter and acidic, ruining the final drink. Thus, a longer separation time allows the drink-maker more time to pour the shot and ensure that the beverage will meet expectations. An employee at a coffee shop hypothesized that the harder the espresso grounds were tamped down into the portafilter before brewing, the longer the separation time would be. An experiment using 24 observations was conducted to test this relationship. The independent variable Tamp measures the distance, in inches, between the espresso grounds and the top of the portafilter (i.e., the harder the…
Every day, secret, over-worked employees at Wayne Enterprises work two 6-hour shifts producing Batmobiles. These shifts are selected from 12 am - 6 am, 6 am - 12 pm, 12 pm - 6 pm, and 6 pm - 12 am.

Employees whose shifts are not consecutive are paid $18 per hour for the inconvenience. Formulate an LP that can be used to minimize the cost of meeting the daily workforce demands for Batmobile production. To formulate the model, use the following decision variables: Xij = workers working shifts i and j where i, j = {1, 2, 3, 4}
