Ben Rishi is operations manager for a factory making cooking pots. He has calculated that the maximum capacity of the factory is 3,000 units per week. The main limit on capacity is the old-fashioned machine for stamping out the metal pans from sheet metal. Purchasing another machine would be expensive - and would require an extension to the building to accommodate it. Workers are currently working very long shifts. Ben has also been working long days to ensure that all resources are fully employed at all times. For the past three months, demand has been high and last week there were orders for 3,100 pots. Ben is under pressure from his managing director to see that this number is made to meet the orders. Ben is unsure whether to recommend purchasing the new machine or to buy in components from another firm in that city that has spare capacity.
- Outline the problems facing Ben because his factory is operating at full capacity.
A fast-food chain decided to carry out an experiment to assess the influence of advertising expenditure on sales. Different relative changes in advertising expenditure, compared to the previous year, were made in eight regions of the country, and resulting changes in sales levels were observed. The accompanying table shows the results
Increase in advertising expenditure (%) 0 4 14 10 9 8 6 1
Increase in sales (%) 2.4 7.2 10.3 9.1 10.2 4.1 7.6 3.5
a. Estimate the least-squares the linear regression of the increase in sales on increase in advertising expenditure
b. Find a 90% confidence interval for the slope of the population regression line
Use a Venn diagram to illustrate the subset of even integers in the set of all positive integers not exceeding 15.
Is the average amount spent on textbooks per semester by accounting majors significantly different from the average amount spent on text books per semester by management majors? Answer this question with a 90% confidence interval using the following data from random samples of students majoring in accounting or management. Discuss the assumptions
Accounting majors Management major
Mean $340 $285
Standard deviation 20 30
Sample size 40 50
(a)Construct an annual ‘coffee price index’ for this time period using 2005 as the
base year. [Hint: follow the procedure detailed in the chapter – divide each yearly
price by the base year price.]

Three 3.0μC charges are at the three corners of a square of side 0.50m. The last corner is occupied by a -3.0μC charge. Find the electric field at the center of the square.
What are two premodifiers in the noun phrase "all three counts"
A study is conducted in a company that employs 800 engineers. A random sample of 50 engineers reveals that the average sample age is 34.3 years. Historically, the population standard deviation of the age of the company’s engineers is approximately 8 years. Construct a 98% confidence interval to estimate the average age of all the engineers in this company
