One common system for computing a grade point average (GPA) assigns 4 points to an A, 3 points to a B, 2 points to a C, 1 point to a D, and 0 points to an F. What is the GPA of a student who gets an A in a 3-creditcourse, a B in each of two2-creditcourses, a C in a 4-credit course, and a D in a 3-3-credit course?

You manage a team of 4 employees. The entire team is responsible for completing 4 projects on time. The time to complete the task is 4 weeks, and this is the time needed and is based on a 56-hour work week for each team member. Each team member will work 7 days a week, since this is a priority project and, must be completed on time. The names of the 4 team members are A, B, C, and D. Based on historical data, at least 1 of the 4 team members calls in sick at least (and only) 1 time per week. Based on this information, what is the probability that the project will be completed on time? If the probability of the project not being completed on time is > 0, what will you do to ensure that the project will be completed on time? What AI systems would you put in place to ensure that you can complete current and future projects? You are to select a strategy that is most feasible and you must justify your answer and provide an analysis.

A researcher believed that the number of rental cars in service by a car rental company would have an impact on the total annual revenue for that car rental company. Five small car rental companies were surveyed, with the number of Cars in service recorded in units of 1000 (so if a car rental company had 54000 cars in service, a 54 would be recorded) and Annual Revenue measured in millions of dollars (so an Annual Revenue of $10,000,000 would be recorded as 10). The data follows: Cars (1,000s) Annual Revenue ($ millions)11.5 118 10.0 135 9.0 100 5.5 37 3.3 32 Part of the Excel-generated Simple Linear Regression output is provided below: ANOVA df SS MS F Significance F Regression 1 7891.863897 7891.863897 22.91180151 0.017339231 Residual 3 1033.336103 344.4453677 Total 4 8925.2 Coefficients Standard Error t Stat P-value Intercept -19.12490108 23.1658578…
