Retention of minority women at the workplace is becoming more and more difficult. Not finding an influential mentor in the system who is willing to help them, lack of an informal network with influential colleagues, lack of role models, and the dearth of high-visibility projects result in dissatisfaction experienced at work and the minority women ultimately decide to leave the organization. Of course, not all minority women quit the system. Only those who have the wherewithal (for example, resources and self-confidence) to start their own business leave the organization. Required: i. Define the problem ii. Develop a theoretical framework iii. Develop at least three hypotheses

There are several risks and costs associated with the airline's decision to overbook flights. If too many passengers show up, the airline may need to offer incentives for customers to give up their seats, which can be costly. If too few passengers show up, the airline may be forced to fly with empty seats, resulting in lost revenue. Furthermore, overbooking can lead to negative publicity and damage to the airline's reputation if too many customers are bumped from their flights. In terms of strategy, the airline must weigh the potential benefits of overbooking (maximizing revenue by filling as many seats as possible) against the potential risks and costs. The airline may also consider adjusting its overbooking policy based on factors such as the route, time of day, and historical data on no-show rates for specific flights. Overall, effective demand forecasting and capacity planning are crucial for the airline to optimize its operations and profitability while minimizing negative…

2. You manage a company that purchases movie theaters. You have a spending goal of $4, 300 million for the purchase of new theaters to seat a total of 4,980 guests. You are given the following data: ABC theaters seat a total of 330 guests and cost $250 million each, CineMovie theaters seat 270- guests and cost $200 million each, and Movies 'n' Stuff theaters seat 240 guests and cost $250 million each. Your company wants you to buy half as many ABC theaters as the combined total of CineMovie and Movies 'n' Stuff theaters. You are tasked with determining how many of each theater your company should purchase. (a) Define variables and determine the constraints associated with this problem. Use them to set up a system of linear equations that models this scenario. (b) After applying Gauss-Jordan reduction, you arrive at the following augmented matrix: T10 0 6 Io 104 0 018 How many of each theater should your company purchase?
In the digital age of marketing, special care must be taken to ensure that programmatic ads appear on websites aligned with a company’s strategy, culture, and ethics. For example, in 2017, Nordstrom, Amazon, and Whole Foods each faced boycotts from social media users when automated ads for these companies showed up on the Breitbart website (ChiefMarketer.com website). It is important for marketing professionals to understand a company's values and culture. The following data are from an experiment designed to investigate the perception of corporate ethical values among individuals specializing in marketing (higher scores indicate higher ethical values).

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…

Epsilon Airlines services predominately the eastern and southeastern United States. A vast majority of Epsilon's customers make reservations through Epsilon's website, but a small percentage of customers make reservations via phone. Epsilon employs call-center personnel to handle these reservations along with any problems with the website reservation system and for the rebooking of flights for customers if their plans change or their travel is disrupted. Staffing the call center appropriately is a challenge for Epsilon's management team. Having too many employees on hand is a waste of money, but having too few results in very poor customer service and the potential loss of customers. Epsilon analysts have estimated the minimum number of call-center employees needed by day of week for the upcoming vacation season (June, July, and the first two weeks of August). These estimates are given in the following table. Day Minimum Number ofEmployees Needed Monday 80 Tuesday 60 Wednesday…
Digital self-service or Self Service Technology (SST) cannot be neglected in the modern world. Hotels are also adopting self-service technology where check-in and check-out kiosks makes guests' arrivals more pleasant and less turbulent. Knowing this, Anna has decided to choose the "self-service technology in hotels" as title for her Master's project paper. Anna wants to find out how satisfied hotel guests are with the self-service technology. Anna talked to a few hotel managers about this title. Managers told her to include variables like satisfaction with SST (i.e. check-in and check-out kiosks), overall satisfaction with the hotel and revisit intention. Since literature review is too time consuming, she decided to go ahead with data collection without reading any articles. She then created a few questions on her own and complete questionnaire development within two days. She then went to five hotels in Kuala Lumpur, and managed to collect 200 completed questionnaires from hotel…

Graphic designers/artists create visual concepts, using computer software or by hand to communicate ideas that inspire, inform, and captivate consumers. They develop the overall layout and production design for various applications such as advertisements, brochures, magazines, and corporate reports. Many are employed in specialized design services, publishing, or advertising, public relations, and related service industries. In 2014, about 1 in 5 were self-employed. A bachelor's degree in graphic design or a related field is usually required. The median annual wage for graphic designers was $45,900 in May, 2014. SOURCE: Bureau of Labor and Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Outlook Handbook, 2016 - 2017 Edition, Graphic Designers . After meeting with clients to determine the scope of a project, graphic artists typically design layouts and select colors, images, and typeface to use. They then present design concepts to the clients and incorporate changes recommended by…
|In a seafood plant, 75% of all fish fillets are processed by Line 1, while the remaining 25% are processed by Line 2. Inspectors give each pack of fillets a quality grade of A and B. In Line 1, 60% and 40% of fillets receive quality scores of A and B, respectively. In Problem 5 Line 2, 85% and 15% of fillets receive quality scores of A and B, respectively. Line 2 produces better quality fillets, but it is slower and more expensive to maintain than Line 1. Randomly select a fillet pack. (Hint: Draw a tree diagram.) a. What is the probability that the fillet pack will have grade A? b. Given that the fillet is selected from grade-A fillet, what is the probability that it comes from Line 2?
