18. More Hotel C (ExH). Given the scenario in Mindscape 16-that is, the hotel starts full-suppose now that the Infinite Life Insurance Company, which has lots of employees-in fact, there are as many employees as there are natural numbers-decides to provide each of its employees with a private room. Is it possible for the night manager to give each of the infinitely many employees his or her own room without kicking any of the other guests onto the streets? By the way, as you may have guessed, after this busy evening, the night manager quit and got a job as the night manager of a nearby Motel 6 (it only had 56 rooms).

Consider a service facility with four clerks. Clerk one works at rate 14/hour; Clerk two at rate 18/hour; Clerk three at rate 20/hour; and Clerk four at rate 16/hour. All service times are independent and exponential. If when you arrive there is already one person waiting, what is your expected waiting time?
A movie studio is scheduling the release of six films-Fiesta, Glaciers, Hurricanes, Jets, Kangaroos, and Lovebird. No two of these films can be released on the same date. The release schedule is governed by the following conditions: Fiesta must be released earlier than both Jets and Lovebird. Kangaroos must be released earlier than Jets, and Jets must be released earlier than Hurricanes. Lovebird must be released earlier than Glaciers. 3. If Glaciers is released earlier than Hurricanes, then each of the following could be true except: A Glaciers is released fourth. Ⓑ Jets is released third. C Kangaroos is released second. D Lovebird is released third. E Lovebird is released fifth.
Suppose a certain manufacturing company produces connecting rods for 4- and 6-cylinder automobile engines using the same production line. The cost required to set up the production line to produce the 4-cylinder connecting rods is $2,500, and the cost required to set up the production line for the 6-cylinder connecting rods is $3,900. Manufacturing costs are $13 for each 4-cylinder connecting rod and $16 for each 6-cylinder connecting rod. Hawkins makes a decision at the end of each week as to which product will be manufactured the following week. If a production changeover is necessary from one week to the next, the weekend is used to reconfigure the production line. Once the line has been set up, the weekly production capacities are 6,000 6-cylinder connecting rods and 8,000 4-cylinder connecting rods. Let x4 = the number of 4-cylinder connecting rods produced next week x6 = the number of 6-cylinder connecting rods produced next week s4 = 1 if the production line is set up to…
A biologist wonders if the life span of bats will be affected by two new food sources from invasive species moving into an area. To conduct the experiment, the biologist needs three treatment groups: a group where the diet will not include invasive species (control), a group where the diet will include one invasive species (treatment group 1), and another group where the diet will include the other invasive species (treatment group 2). The biologist chooses the first cloud-free night and catches the first 18 bats that fly out of a cave, placing them into three equal groups of six bats. To decide the treatment for each group, the biologist places three slips of paper labeled control, treatment group 1, and treatment group 2 in a hat and randomly selects 2 slips of paper. The first piece of paper gives the treatment for the first group, the second piece of paper gives the treatment for the second group, and the remaining treatment is given to the third group. Which component is…
Question 3 Supreme Ventures Limited is a major gambling company in the Caribbean. Last year Supreme Ventures had budgeted up to $8,000 per week for local advertising. The money was allocated among four promotional media: tv spots, newspaper ads, and two types of radio advertisements. Supreme Ventures goal is to reach the largest possible high-potential audience through the various media at the lowest cost possible. The following table presents the number of potential gamblers reached by making use of an advertisement in each of the four media. It also provides the cost per advertisement placed and the maximum number of ads that can be purchased per week. Medium Audience Reached Cost Maximum Ads per Ad per Ad $ per Week spot (1 min) Daily newspaper (full-page ad) Radio spot (30 sec, primetime) TV 5,000 800 12 8500 925 5 2400 290 25 Radio spot (1min afternoon) 2800 380 20 Supreme Ventures contractual arrangements require that at least 5 radio spots be placed each week.

Freddy is the owner of Freddy’s fast fuel for Small Aircraft specializing in “Providing flight fit fantastic fuel” for small general aviation aircraft such as a Cessna 172. Freddy is experimenting with a fueling process involving new equipment and is trying to determine if the current process takes more time than the new process with the new equipment he is experimenting with. If the current process takes more time than the new process, Freddy will purchase some new, rather expensive fueling equipment to use across several small general aviation airports his company services. Freddy is comparing sample mean times to evaluate his hypothesis about the population (total number of aircraft fuel fill-ups). Over the period of a week, he took a random sample of fuel fill-up times using both the old and new processes. Using the information Freddy provided, you ran a t-test for independent samples. These are the results (α = .05). t-Test: Two-Sample Assuming Unequal Variance Current…
2. A liberal arts college has an endowment that pays engineering students a scholarship if they earn over a certain GPA in their junior year. There are three types of junior engineering students in the college: 40% are in chemical engineering, 25% are in electrical engineering and 35% are in mechanical engineering. It is known that both junior electrical and mechanical engineering students are twice as likely to earn the scholarship as junior chemical engineering students. If a chemical engineering student earns the scholarship they receive $2000 and if an electrical or mechanical engineering student earns the scholarship they receive $1000. Given that a junior engineering student earns a scholarship, find the expected amount that is paid to the student. Give answer to the fourth decimal.

Digi-Key is a large distributor (but not manufacturer) of electronic components. They receive shipments of components from manufacturers and sell them on to other manufacturers, consumers, and hobbyists. An electrical fuse is generally a small device meant to protect other electrical components from damaging surges of electrical current. Suppose Digi-Key receives shipments of a particular fuse in boxes of 20,000 fuses. The manufacturer of this fuse claims that just 1 out of every 100 fuses is defective. Digi-Key draws 50 fuses randomly from each box and tests them using an error-free method. If it finds 2 or more defective fuses in its sample of 50 fuses, it sends that box back to the manufacturer and gets a replacement box. (Because there are 20,000 fuses in a box--much bigger than 50--you may treat this as if it is sampling with replacement even though it is not really.) Compute the probability that Digi-Key sends a box back to the manufacturer if the manufacturer's claim (that…
