Some citizens complained to city council members that there should be equal protection under the law against the occurrence of crimes. The citizens argued that this equal protection should be interpreted as indicating that high-crime areas should have more police protection than low-crime areas. Therefore, police patrols and other methods for preventing crime (such as street lighting or cleaning up abandoned areas and buildings) should be used proportionately to crime occurrence. The city has been broken down into 20 geographic areas, each containing 5,000 residences. The police recognize that not all crimes and offenses are reported: people do not want to become involved, consider the offenses too small to report, are too embarrassed to make a police report, or do not take the time, among other reasons. Every month, because of this, the police are contacting by phone a random sample of 1,000 of the 5,000 residences for data on crime. (Respondents are guaranteed anonymity.) The 1,000…
Donna Canova is the environmental compliance manager for a small plastics manufacturing company Platicallity Inc. She is currently faced with the decision of whether or not to spend on a new technology that will reduce the level of a particular toxin in the wastewater that flows out the back of the factory and into a lake. The factory's emission levels are already within legal limits. However, Donna knows that enviromental regulatiosn for this particular toxin re laggin behind scientific evidence. In fact, a scientist from the university was quoted in the newspaper recently, saying that if emmission levels stayed at this level, the fish in the lakes and rivers in the area might soon have to be declared unfit for human consumption. Further, if companies in the region don't engage in some self-regulation on this issue, there is reason to fear that the government--backed by public opinion--may force companies to begin using the new technology and require monthly emmission level reports…

North Platt Machinery Company manufactures a shaft that must fit inside a sleeve. The firm has just received an order of 53,000 units from Southernstar Exploration Company for $48 per unit. North Platt can manufacture the shaft at $18 per unit. Southernstar desires the diameter of the shaft to be 1.278 cm. The diameter of the shaft must not be less than 1.253 cm in order to fit properly inside the sleeve. To be able to insert the shaft into a sleeve without the use of force, the diameter cannot be larger than 1.303 cm. A defective shaft is discarded and a replacement has to be shipped via express freight to locations around the world. North Platt estimates that the average cost of handling and shipping a replacement shaft will be approximately $38. Shown below are the diameters from a sample of 100 shafts manufactured during a trial run: Diameter 1.235 1.243 1.253 1.261 1.265 1.273 1.275 Number of Units 2 3 4 3 3 4 7 Diameter 1.276 1.277 1.278 1.279 1.280 1.283 1.291 Number of Units 7…
