Answer to Problem 33P

Contour lines have been drawn along the plotted points.

Explanation of Solution

Given information: Contour lines for locating the machine shop is drawn from the values of points derived.

The procedure for drawing contour lines is as follows:

  1. The points need to be plotted on a graph paper, and horizontal and vertical lines need to be drawn along their respective axis.
  2. The horizontal and vertical lines, needs to be clearly numbered from left to right.
  3. It is being assumed, Di to be the sum of weights of points along the horizontal line i and Ci be the sum of weights of points along the vertical line j .
  4. Following is the method for computing numbers:

  M1=M0+2C1         N0=N0+2D1M2=M1+2C2         N1=N1+2D2

Where Ci represents the total of the weights added up along the vertical line and Di represents the total of the weights added up along the horizontal line.

A region (i,j) can be defined as bounded by the ith vertical line and the (i+1)th vertical line and horizontally by the jth horizontal line and (j+1)th horizontal line. The area below the first horizontal line is represented by (i,0) , and that towards the left of the first vertical line is represented by (0,j) . The contour line’s slope is given by the formula:

  Sij=MiNj

After calculating the slopes of the contour lines, it is drawn by starting from any point, moves forward along the predetermined slopes, as calculated from the above mentioned formula and at an angle

The weights and coordinates of the locations of machines are being tabulated as follows:

    Location of machinesWeight
    (3,3)18
    (3,7)18
    (8,4)14
    (12,3)1
    (14,6)16

Let us assume the following:

  (a1,b1)=(3,3); (a2,b2)=(3,7); (a3,b3)=(8,4); (a4,b4)=(12,3); (a5,b5)=(14,6)

and w1=18; w2=18; w3=14; w5=16  . With these points the horizontal and vertical lines are drawn along the axis and the values of M0,M1,M2,M3,M4 and N0,N1,N2,N3,N4 are calculated.

  M0=(18+18+14+1+16)=56M1=53+12=76M2=76+12=23M3=23+2=43M4=43+26=53

  N0=(18+18+14+1+16)=56N1=53+94=712N2=712+12=1312N3=1312+13=1712M4=1712+14=53

Further, in order to find the slope, the ratios are calculated:

  S0,0=1S1,0=(76)/(53)=0.7S2,0=(23)/(53)=0.4S3,0=(43)/(53)=0.8S4,0=(53)/(53)=0.1 S0,1=(53)/(712)=2.8S1,1=(76)/(712)=12S2,1=(23)/(712)=1.1S3,1=(43)/(712)=2.2S4,1=(53)/(712)=2.8

  S0,2=(53)/(1312)=1.5S1,2=(76)/(1312)=1.07S2,2=(23)/(1312)=0.61S3,2=(43)/(1312)=1.2S4,2=(53)/(1312)=1.5S0,3=(53)/(1712)=1.17S1,3=(76)/(1712)=0.82S2,3=(23)/(1712)=0.47S3,3=(43)/(1712)=0.94S4,3=(53)/(1712)=1.17

  S0,4=(53)/(53)=1S1,4=(76)/(53)=0.7S2,4=(23)/(53)=0.4S3,4=(43)/(53)=0.8S4,4=(53)/(53)=1

From the derived points, the contour lines has been plotted as shown in the figure below: EBK PRODUCTION AND OPERATIONS ANALYSIS, Chapter 11.9, Problem 33P

Problem 13-11 (Algo) The state and local police departments are trying to analyze crime rates so they can shift their patrols from decreasing-rate areas to areas where rates are increasing. The city and county have been geographically segmented into areas containing 5,650 residences. The police recognize that not all crimes and offenses are reported: people do not want to become involved, consider the offenses too small to report, are too embarrassed to make a police report, or do not take the time, among other reasons. Every month, because of this, the police are contacting by phone a random sample of 1,170 of the 5,650 residences for data on crime. (Respondents are guaranteed anonymity.) Here are the data collected for the past 12 months for one area: CRIME MONTH SAMPLE SIZE CRIME RATE INCIDENCE January February March 9 1,170 1,170 1,170 1,170 1,170 1,170 1,170 1,170 1,170 1,170 1,170 11 April May 9 9 June 11 July August September October 9 12 10 13 November 13 December 10 1,170 a.…
