What we know is that we have this one large batch of a Johnson & Johnson vaccine: 15 million doses. That's enough to vaccinate 7 percent of the US adult population. That's the number to vaccinate the entire state of Maryland, plus West Virginia, plus a few other states. And it had to be thrown away. And so the FDA and Biden administration has asked Johnson & Johnson to step up its supervision of Emergent BioSolutions. And this factory in Baltimore, which hasn't been authorized by the FDA yet - its authorization process will be delayed.  a. After reading the article Robin says there are just over 1 million adults in the US.  Max disagrees and says there are just over 210 million adults.  Who is correct?  Robin Max b. explain why

An article on the PureEnergySystems.com website written by Louis LaPoint discusses a product called acetone. The article stated that “Acetone 1CH3COCH32 is a product that can be purchased inexpensively in most locations around the world, such as in common hardware, auto parts, or drug stores. Added to the fuel tank in tiny amounts, acetone aids in the vaporization of the gasoline or diesel, increasing fuel efficiency, engine longevity, and performance—as well as reducing hydrocarbon emissions.” To test whether this product actually does increase fuel efficiency in passenger cars,  a consumer group has randomly selected 5 people to participate in the study. The following procedure is used: People are to bring their cars into a specified gasoline station and have the car filled with regular, unleaded gasoline at a particular pump. Nothing extra is added to the gasoline at this fill-up. The  car’s odometer is recorded at the time of fill-up. When the tank is nearly empty, the person is…

You are the Brand Manager for Crisco, the leading brand of cooking medium (both cooking oil and shortening).  You have been searching for ways to reduce the brand’s reliance on price promotion and you think you have found a winner:  NASCAR, the major league stock car auto racing circuit.  NASCAR fans are extremely loyal to their sponsors and the sport is not only a major event in your best business areas, but it is the only major league sport that is enjoying strong growth.  Your management chain, however, still thinks of NASCAR as “good old boys”—with the emphasis on boys…and your target audience is largely female.  After two years, you finally have received agreement to a test of the proportion of women in the NASCAR audience, as represented by media (TV and radio).  If you can demonstrate, as NASCAR claims, that the NASCAR audience is no less than 40 per cent female, management will agree to let you sponsor a NASCAR race team next year.  If not, you will have to devote the same…

Based on Angel et al. (2003). A fertilizer companyis trying to determine the cheapest fertilizer mix thatprovides desired amounts of nutrients. The mix ismade by combining the following fertilizers: SSA,SPO, GUR, TSP, KCI, FERT, and SPF. The mix cannot contain both GUR and TSP. The percentage ofpotassium (K), sulfur (S), calcium (Ca), sodium (Na)and phosphorus (P) in each fertilizer is listed in the fileP06_88.xlsx. For example, a pound of SSA is 16% Kand 26% Na. The mix must contain at least 600 poundsof K, 550 pounds of S, 750 pounds of Ca, 900 poundsof Na, and 750 pounds of P. The mix cannot containboth GUR and TSP, because if both are present in themix, the affect of other fertilizers is nullified. The costper pound (in cents) of each fertilizer is listed in thesame file. Develop a linear integer model to find theminimum-cost fertilizer mixture that meets the statedchemical requirements.
