A production plant has three machines and the two products move about among these three machines. Upon completion of the process at machine i, it moves to the next available machine out of the two remaining machines. Therefore, there are always two busy machines. If the service times of these machines follow an exponential distribution with a rate of μ1=2/min, μ2=1 /min, μ3=4 /min, respectively, what proportion of time machine 1 will be idle

Inventory Management

The supply chain is crucial to a firm's operations as it manages the inflow and outflow of products that are manufactured from the initial stage to the end product. It also considers the raw materials needed at different stages of production and when the work is in progress. Inventory management functions consist of ordering, storing, and procuring the organization's inventory like raw materials, factors, and finished products. It's also used for controlling the number of products for trade and helps manage the organization's inventory and stock. Inventory Management has been defined as having the right inventory, of the right volume, at the right cost.

5. Two drugs, Abraxane and Taxol, are both cancer treatments, yet have differing rates at which they leave a patient's system. Using terminology from pharmacology, Abraxane leaves the system by so-called "first-order elimination", which means that the concentration decreases at a constant percentage rate for each unit of time that passes. Taxol leaves the system by "zero-order elimina- tion", which means that the concentration decreases by a constant amount for each unit of time that passes. As soon as the infusion of Taxol is completed, the drug concentration in a patient's blood is 1000 nanograms per milliliter (ng / ml). 12 hours later there is 50 ng / ml left in the patient's system. Use the data to construct an appropriate formula modeling the blood concentration of Taxol as a function of time after the infusion is completed.

The largest cat in North America is the Jaguar, they can sometimes be seen in the mountains of southern Texas, Arizona and New Mexico, (and less recently southern California). The rate of observances by humans is about 3/20 years. Assume we don't get Trump's border wall which would isolate the US population from the rest, and presumably cut off their chance of breeding. Chances of seeing 5 or more separate Jaguars within 5 years is 0.0011. a. Your cameras also produce pictures of wolf sized canids, either wolves or coy-wolves in the same region (very different times). Each year your cameras catch about 40 of these animals and about 30 cougars and about 400 bear and 800 feral Hogs. Assume that these numbers are all population rates for poisson. Given your camera Network catches a non human large animal (and the above list is all of them): Out of 200 large non human animals what is the probabilty that between 80 and 150 are feral hogs?

Please answer quickly and correctly The Samsung plant in Newberry is an assembly plant for home appliances. They assembly three types of appliances including washing machine, dishwasher, and oven (reference by W, R, and O). Each type of appliance is produced in a different assembly line which has some amount of output per day.

Susan Sound predicts that students will learn most effectively with a constant background sound, as opposed to an unpredictable sound or no sound at all She randomly divides twenty-four students into three groups of eight. All students study a passage of text for 30 minutes. Those in group 1 study with background sound at a constant volume in the background. Those in group 2 study with noise that changes volume periodically. Those in group 3 study with no sound at all. After studying, all students take a 10 point multiple choice test over the material.
