Chapter 11.2, Problem 11.22ACB
Joint Strike Fighter program. The Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) program, operated by the U.S. Department of Defense, is a global defense program that involves acquisition of military fighter jets for participating allied countries. An article in the Air & Space Power Journal (March-April 2014) reported on the estimated annual cost of adding a military aircraft to the JSF program. The table below lists the year of in initial operation and cost (in millions of dollars) for 12 JSF military aircraft models. For this problem, let y = estimated annual cost and x = year of initial operation for each aircraft model.
a. Fit the simple linear regression model, E (y) = β0 + β1x, to the data.
b. If possible, give a practical interpretation of they-intercept of the line.
c. Give an estimate of the increase in the cost of adding a military aircraft to the JSF program each year. (Hint: Practically interpret the slope of the line.)

Trenny has asked her assistant to prepare estimates of cost of two different sizes of power plants. The assistant reports that the
cost of the 130 MW plant is $200,000,000, while the cost of the 240 MW plant is $320,000,000. If Trenny has a budget of only
$300,000,000, estimate how large a power plant she could afford using linear interpolation (Enter your answer rounded to one
decimal place and in MW eg. XX.X)? Number

Sally Statistics is implementing a system of statistical process control (SPC) charts in her factory in an effort to reduce the overall cost of scrapped product. The current cost of scrap is $X per month. If a 75% learning curve is expected in the use of the SPC charts to reduce the cost of scrap, what would the percentage reduction in monthly scrap cost be after the charts have been used for 6 months? (Hint: Model each month as a unit of production.)

According to one estimate, the parts for a Segway Human Transporter - which has five gyroscopes, two tilt sensors, dual redundant
motors, 10 microprocessors, and can travel up to 12.5 mph - cost at least $1,500 (Eric A. Taub, "Segway Transporter Slow to Catch
On," San Francisco Chronicle, August 11, 2003: E4). Suppose that Segway's marginal cost is $1800, and the price of a Segway is
$4000

For example, at the beginning of February 2023, FiberOne, a broadband internet provider in Nigeria, was providing internet with speeds of up to 500Mbps, which is fast. The installation fee was N32,231 (about US$70) and the monthly subscription cost around N100,000 (US$220). Starlink in Nigeria, meanwhile, costs about N276,000 (US$599) once- off for the kit and installation, then charges a monthly subscription fee of about [N19,800] (US$43). Starlink is cheaper in the long term than both fibre optic and mobile internet providers. But can an average rural Nigerian household with a monthly income of less than N28,000 (US$60) afford it? Given that average incomes are similarly low in most rural and remote parts of Africa, there's a risk that Starlink's targeted users on the continent won't be able to use the service.
