Do you know how a company may protect itself from hackers by locking off accounts?
A mortgage company classifies its borrowers into three categories: Low Risk, Medium Risk, and High Risk. From experience, the company knows that: • 2% of low risk borrowers eventually default on their mortgages. • 6% of medium risk borrowers eventually default on their mortgages. 13% of high risk borrowers eventually default on their mortgages. The mortgages for 132 high risk borrowers are put together into one portfolio. The company determines that they will profit on the portfolio as long as no more than 19% of borrowers with mortgages in the portfolio default. What is the probability that the company makes a profit on the portfolio? Round your answer to 4 decimal places.

- Inventory Control and Planning Lehen Vinters imports a certain brand of beer. The demand, which may be assumed to be uniform, is 1,250,000 cases/year. The cost of ordering a shipment of beer is $500, and the cost of storing each case of beer for a year is $2. Determine how many cases of beer should be in each shipment if the ordering and storage costs are to be kept at a minimum. (Assume that each shipment of beer arrives just as the previous one has been sold.)arrow_forwardQ1. Discuss the evaluation guidelines for manufacturing processes.arrow_forwardA total of 15-day data was collected for a work sampling study at a mechanized production line which involves 10 workers. Each day, the line was operating for 12 hours. The summary of the observations is shown in Table 1. Currently the average monthly salary is RM 1800 per worker. The normal operation period is 22 days per month. Analyse the given information and propose appropriate standard time for the product by applying the industrial engineering approach. Then use the standard time to compute the labour cost (in RM per unit) for the overall production process.

A material with low value of modulus of elasticity is said to be stiff. 2. Copper alloys do not experience a ductile-to-brittle transition. 3. Tensile testing is a destructive test process. 4. Ceramic materials are more resistant to high temperatures and harsh environments than are metals and polymers. 5. A metal that experiences very little or no plastic deformation upon fracture is termed ductile.arrow_forwardQuality Engineering question Pleas, explain briefly the necessity and benefit of collecting data and using statistical methods in production processes.

The engineer collects several samples from the manufacturer and records the following observations. Using the data below and what you have learned in Forecasting, determine the following (use four decimal places for values): 1) Which is the explanatory variable? 2) If we want strength to increase, what must we do to the temperature? Increase OR Decrease? 3) What should be the value of Temperature if we want Strength at 5,000? 4) What is the value of the standard error? | Temperature Strength Sample 1 185 5150 2 183 5125 3 187 5123 4 188 5140 5 189 5195 6 189 5190 7 192 5150 8 195 5155 9 196 5156 10 198 5162 11 193 5172 12 196 5196 13 200 5063 14 202 5025arrow_forward
