Final grades are based on three exams worth 20 percent, 15 percent, and 25 percent, respectively; homework is worth 15 percent; and a group project is worth 25 percent. Enter scores for three students. Assume that Student 1 earns 90 percent (or 90) on every item. Assume that Student 2 earns 70 percent on each of the exams, 80 percent on the homework, and 95 percent on the group project. Assume that Student 3 earns 90 percent on Exam 1, 80 percent on Exam 2, 75 percent on Exam 3, 80 percent on the homework, and 70 percent on the group project.
North Platt Machinery Company manufactures a shaft that must fit inside a sleeve. The firm has just received an order of 58,000 units from Southernstar Exploration Company for $68 per unit. North Platt can manufacture the shaft at $38 per unit. Southernstar desires the diameter of the shaft to be 1.283 cm. The diameter of the shaft must not be less than 1.258 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 1.308 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 $58. Shown below are the diameters from a sample of 80 shafts manufactured during a trial run: Diameter 1.240 1.248 1.258 1.266 1.270 1.278 1.280 Number of Units 1 2 3 2 2 3 6 Diameter 1.281 1.282 1.283 1.284 1.285 1.288 1.296 Number of Units 6 7…

You were assigned as a project manager for a residential project in North Lebanon. You estimate that the plot will require somewhere between 10,000 square meters and 12,000 square meters of land. The building will have a foot print of 8,000 meters. The rest will be used for gardening and planting trees. You want to benefit from the current LBP conditions and would like the project to be done before 2025. You envision a five story building and a penthouse. The garden will include orange and cherry trees with some bushes. The building will have upscale electrical and mechanical finishing. The super structure will be made from RC with an outside cladding of natural stones. Many of the materials will be imported from outside the country and this might add extra risks due to the political and health conditions globally and in Lebanon. 1- Make all the assumptions you need to plan the project using the following activities: Excavation, foundation, super structure, electro mechanical works,…
