At a whiteware production facility, fridges which have been damaged are scrapped (costing $250) as it is too expensive to interfere with the production line and repair any damage. If damaged fridges occur so that the number has a Poisson distribution with the rate λ = 2.5 each day, then what is the mean and standard deviation of the cost of scrapping the fridges in a 30 day month?

The weights of healthy adult male Labrador Retrievers are approximately Normally distributed with a mean of 77 pounds and a standard deviation of 6 pounds. Draw an appropriate diagram with shading and use a z-score approach to find the weight which would mark the first quartile of this distribution. (Hint: the first quartile is also known as the location of the 25th percentile.) Then, create a PDF of that work and upload it where indicated.
A weight-loss program wants to test how well their program is working. The company selects a simple random sample of 51 individual that have been using their program for 15 months. For each individual person, the company records the individual's weight when they started the program 15 months ago as an x-value. The subject's current weight is recorded as a y-value. Therefore, a data point such as (205, 190) would be for a specific person and it would indicate that the individual started the program weighing 205 pounds and currently weighs 190 pounds. In other words, they lost 15 pounds. When the company performed a regression analysis, they found a correlation coefficient of r = 0.707. This clearly shows there is strong correlation, which got the company excited. However, when they showed their data to a statistics professor, the professor pointed out that correlation was not the right tool to show that their program was effective. Correlation will NOT show whether or not there is…

A Scenario: Jimmy store sells large tins of Tom Tucker Coffee. The deli uses a periodic review system. Inventory is checked every 10 days which more orders are needed for tins. Order lead time is 3 days. Average demand is 7 tins, so average demand during the reorder period and order lead time (13) is 91 tins. Standard deviation of demand during the same 13 day period is 17 tins.1. Calculate the restocking level ( Assume the desired level is 90%)2. Suppose standard deviation of demand during the 13-day period drops to 4 tins. What happened to restocking level? Explain why?3. Draw a saw-tooth diagram. Beginning inventory level is equal to restocking level and the demand rate is a constant 7 tins per day. What is the safety stock level? What is the average inventory level?
A hot dog concession at Safeco Field sells an average of 54.67 hot dogs per hour (believed to follow a Poisson Distribution). How many hot dogs should the vendor stock in order to be 93% sure it has enough hot dogs for 1.5 hour(s)? F−1(0.93)=
MARGI sells different types of wine. Customers place orders to the most popular "Summer Wine" at a relatively constant rate. The store buys this wine from WSCO that used to require lead-time of 1.5 weeks. Recently WSCO informed MARGI that its lead-time is increasing by K weeks. MARGI who runs an EOQ policy with cycle service level, realized that because of this increase, its current lead-time standard deviation of the demand is going to double. 1. What would the lead-time mean demand be? Twice as large as the current mean demand. b. Stay the same. c. Larger but more than two times. d. Not enough information to answer. a. 2. Calculate the value of 'K', and show your work.

Lieutenant Commander Data is planning to make his monthly (every 30 days) trek to Gamma Hydra City to pick up a supply of isolinear chips. The trip will take Data about two days. Before he leaves, he calls in the order to the GHC Supply Store. He uses chips at an average rate of i ve per day (seven days per week) with a standard deviation of demand of one per day. He needs a 98 percent service probability. If he currently has 35 chips in inventory, how many should he order? What is the most he will ever have to order?
During the busy season, it is important for the shipping manager at ShipMundo to be able to estimate the time it takes the loading crew to load a truck. The shipping manager has found that she can model the load times using a normal distribution with a mean of 152 minutes and a standard deviation of 15 minutes. Use this table or the ALEKS calculator to find the percentage of load times between 116 minutes and 149 minutes according to the model. For your intermediate computations, use four or more decimal places. Give your final answer to two decimal places (for example 98.23%).
Customers arrive to a local bakery with an average time between arrivals of5 minutes. However, there is quite a lot of variability in the customers’ arrivals, asone would expect in an unscheduled system. The single bakery server requires anamount of time having the exponential distribution with mean 4.5 minutes to servecustomers (in the order in which they arrive). No customers leave without service.f. Why are the estimated waits in this system so long? Are the assumptions behindthem reasonable? Why or why not?
