Texas Instruments produces computer chips in production runs of 1 million at a time. It has found that the fraction of defective modules can be very different in different production runs. These differences are caused by small variations in the set-up of each production run. Managers have observed that defective rates are roughly triangular, with a lower bound of 0%, and an upper bound of 50%. Defects more likely to be near 10% than any other single value in their range. Now suppose that we have taken a sample of 10

Is there a quick way to solve these kinds of problems with a TI-84? I spend a lot of time doing them by hand and I desperately need to speed up the process. Can you please walk me through the steps I need to do? please do not use excel, I will not have access to that.
The Harriet Hotel in downtown Boston has 100 rooms that rent for $150 per night. It costs the hotel $30 per room in variable costs (cleaning, bathroom items, etc.) each night a room is occupied. For each reservation accepted, there is a 5% chance that the guest will not arrive. If the hotel overbooks, it costs $200 to compensate guests whose reservations cannot be honored. How many reservations should the hotel accept if it wants to maximize the average daily profit?
4. Assume that a risk-free money market account is added to the market described in Q2. The continuously compounded rate of return on the money market account is 0% per period. (i) Use the method of Lagrange multipliers to determine the proportions of wealth invested in the three assets available for the minimum variance portfolio with expected return μ. Your answer must express the proportions as a function of µ. (ii) Recall that the market portfolio has highest Sharpe ratio. Formulate the optimi- sation problem which characterises the market portfolio. You don't have to solve this optimisation problem.
3) Two suppliers are bidding for a customer's business. Both are similar in cost, percentage of on-time deliveries, etc. The final decision will be based on which supplier provides the "best" quality. The process outputs for suppliers A and B are displayed below. Supplier A's process has half the variation as B's, but is centered halfway between the middle of the tolerance and the USL, with 0.1% above the USL. Supplier B, on the other hand, is centered exactly at the middle of the tolerance, with 0.1% of its output outside each of the two specifications. Other estimates: SD (A): 0.809 SD (B): 1.618 Supplier A 52.5 Supplier B Supplier A has 0.5% 0.5% defects 0.25% 0.25% Supplier B has 0.25 % defective both sides LSL-45 50 USL-56 Questions 3||3a) What is the Cp of Supplier A? 4||3b)What is the Cp of Supplier B? 5||3c) What is the Cpk of supplier A? 6||3d) What is the Cpk of Supplier b? 7||3e) Who should get the bid award? 8||3f) Per 1000 products, how many good products has Supplier A…
Engro group, who recently sold its Engro foods start-up for a multi-million-rupees sum, is looking for another investment for fresh capital. It is considering an investment in coal (X) and solar (Y) power plant. For that they had a collected data on 5 different characteristics. Amanda has applied k-means clustering to this data for k = 2. Given the following data: Table 5.1 Observations X Y 1 20 18 2 8 20 3 36 26 4 22 12 5 14 4 Which value of k is the most appropriate to categorize these investments? Justify your choice with calculations.
2. A company sells copiers and performs preventative maintenance and repair services. The manager wants to estimate how long it will take a service person to perform maintenance and repairs during a visit based on the number of copiers they need to service. Data were collected from 45 recent service calls, and regression analysis was performed in a statistics package, yielding the following results. Predictor Coef Stdev t-ratio Constant -0.5802 2.8039 -0.2069 0.8371 Number of Copiers 15.0352 0.4831 31.1233 0.0000 s= 8.9135 R-sq = 95.75% R-sq(adj) = 95.25% (a) What is the equation of the least-squares regression line? (b) Interpret the slope in context of the problem.
A cellphone provider has the business objective of wanting to determine the proportion of subscribers who would upgrade to a new cellphone with improved features if it were made available at a substantially reduced cost. Data are collected from a random sample of 500 subscribers. The results indicate that 123 of the subscribers would upgrade to a new cellphone at a reduced cost. Reducing the price will be profitable if at least 20% of the subscribers would upgrade. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. a. At the 0.05 level of significance, is there evidence that more than 20% of the customers would upgrade to a new cellphone at a reduced cost? Determine the null hypothesis, Ho, and the alternative hypothesis, H₁ . ▶
Suppose that 25% of patients with MI in 2000 died within24 hours. This proportion is called the 24-hour case-fatalityrate. How large a sample is needed in Problem 7.15 toachieve 90% power? problem7.15 Suppose we eventually plan to accumulate 50 MIcases during the period 2010–2015. Assume that the24-hour case-fatality rate is truly 20% during this period.How much power would such a study have in distinguishingbetween case-fatality rates in 2000 and 2010–2015 if atwo-sided test with significance level .05 is planned?
