Laura is a human resources director for a manufacturing plant. She has become concerned with the number of safety violations that have been reported by supervisors. She decides to start a safety seminar that all employees will need to attend. Using her computer, she creates a spreadsheet that will track the number of violations over the next six months as all employees attend the seminar. The x-axis will represent the number of employees who have completed the seminar and the y-axis will represent the number of safety violations reported. The spreadsheet will automatically create a scatterplot with a line of best fit. What does she hope to see as she implements her plan? O a positive correlation, indicating safety improvement O a negative correlation, indicating safety improvement O no correlation, indicating safety improvement O a curving line that starts out as a positive correlation and turns negative to indicate safety improvement
An inventor has developed a system that allows visitors to museums, zoos, and other attractions to get information at the touch of a digital code. For example, zoo patrons can listen to an announcement (recorded on a microchip) about each animal they see. It is anticipated that the device would rent for $3.00 each. The installation cost for the complete system is expected to be about $400,000. The Milwaukee Zoo is interested in having the system installed, but management is uncertain about whether to take the risk. A financial analysis of the problem indicates that if more than 10% of the Zoo visitors rent the system the zoo will make a profit. To help make the decision, a sample of 400 zoo visitors is given details of the system’s capabilities and cost. Forty eight people say they would rent the device. c). Estimate the actual percentage of the visitors who would rent the system using a 98% confidence interval using Minitab.
For his classes, Professor Wright gives three types of quizzes, objective, recall, and recall-plus. To keep his students on their toes, he has decided to give at least 20 quizzes next quarter. The three types, objective, recall, and recall-plus quizzes, require the students to spend, respectively, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, and 60 minutes for preparation, and Professor Wright would like them to spend at least 12 hours(720 minutes) preparing for these quizzes above and beyond the normal study time. An average score on an objective quiz is 5, on a recall type 6, and on a recall-plus 7, and Dr. Wright would like the students to score at least 130 points on all quizzes. It takes the professor one minute to grade an objective quiz, 2 minutes to grade a recall type quiz, and 3 minutes to grade a recall-plus quiz. How many of each type should he give in order to minimize his grading time?
Describe in your own words the YRBBS to someone who does not know the system. Specifically, explain: What is it? Who owns it? Who can usethe system? Where does the data in it come from? From whom is the data collected?
A researcher believed that the number of rental cars in service by a car rental company would have an impact on the total annual revenue for that car rental company. Five small car rental companies were surveyed, with the number of Cars in service recorded in units of 1000 (so if a car rental company had 54000 cars in service, a 54 would be recorded) and Annual Revenue measured in millions of dollars (so an Annual Revenue of $10,000,000 would be recorded as 10). The data follows: Cars (1,000s) Annual Revenue ($ millions)11.5 118 10.0 135 9.0 100 5.5 37 3.3 32 Part of the Excel-generated Simple Linear Regression output is provided below: ANOVA df SS MS F Significance F Regression 1 7891.863897 7891.863897 22.91180151 0.017339231 Residual 3 1033.336103 344.4453677 Total 4 8925.2 Coefficients Standard Error t Stat P-value Intercept -19.12490108 23.1658578…
The following are recipes for pancakes and waffles. A batch of pancakes require 3 cups of flour, 1 cup of milk, and 2 eggs and feeds 6 people. A batch of waffles requires 2 cups of flour, 2 cups of milk, and 2 eggs and feeds 5 people. Suppose you have available 24 cups of flour, 18 cups of milk, and 20 eggs. How many batches of pancakes and waffles should you make to feed the maximum number of people? a) State what you assign to x and y. Write the objective function. [2] b) Write the three constraint inequalities. [3] c) Find the axes intercepts of each of the above inequalities. [3] d) Plot the inequalities. Label the solution set.
