The software developers of a billing system of ACME Telecom Company would accept at most an error rate of 4% that a sample of invoices would contain some variations that may be present in a large population of total invoices. With a certainty factor of 1.95 how many invoices would they need to examine? **Problem 5: Invoice Sampling for Error Rate Analysis**The software developers of a billing system at ACME Telecom Company require that the error rate in a sample of invoices be no more than 4%. The goal is to identify variations in a sample that may be indicative of errors present in the larger population of total invoices. To determine the number of invoices necessary to examine, a certainty factor of 1.95 is used. The question is: how many invoices should be reviewed in this sampling process? **Project Activity Chart**This table outlines the details of various activities associated with a project. It includes the following columns:1. **Activity**: Designation of the project task.2. **Duration**: Time required to complete each activity (measured in unspecified time units).3. **Predecessor (dependency)**: Any prior activities that must be completed before beginning the given activity.4. **Dependency Type**: Indicates the nature of the dependency: - "D" could denote a Direct dependency. - "M" could denote a Milestone or other type of dependency.5. **Number of Workers**: Number of workers assigned to each activity.**Activity Details**:- **Activity A** - Duration: 2 - Predecessors: None - Dependency Type: D - Number of Workers: 2- **Activity B** - Duration: 4 - Predecessors: None - Dependency Type: D - Number of Workers: 2- **Activity C** - Duration: 10 - Predecessors: None - Dependency Type: M - Number of Workers: 4- **Activity D** - Duration: 3 - Predecessors: A - Dependency Type: D - Number of Workers: 2- **Activity E** - Duration: 1 - Predecessors: B - Dependency Type: D - Number of Workers: 2- **Activity F** - Duration: 2 - Predecessors: C, D, E - Dependency Type: M(C, E) - Number of Workers: 4This table is useful for understanding task sequences, the necessary workforce, and the coordination required to successfully execute and manage the project.

Your company is evaluating two cloud-based secured data storage services. "Great Sky," the newer service, claims its uploading and downloading speeds are faster than the older service, "Clear and Steady Skies." You need to make a decision based on published access times for both services at different times and for varying file sizes. To make your decision, you purchase two statistical studies from which you discover the average download time for Great Sky is 0.67 sec. per MB and for Clear Steady Skies is 0.84. Additionally, the studies indicate the following sample information: NGS = 60 ncss = 50, SGS = 0.25 and scss = 0.55. Use a = .05, and the five step hypothesis testing procedure to make the appropriate decision.

An online virus-scan service provider, Whispering, is expanding its offerings to include an optimizing service to users-it can scan the consumer's hard drive for duplicate files, suggest more efficient ways to save or archive photos and movies, and much more. The problem is that the company's own cost information has been lost-not due to a virus but due to human error. Charlee, the office manager, is trying to recreate some of the information to use in pricing Whispering's newest optimizing service. Here is what she was able to dig up: Known Information for Virus-ScanService Selling price $30 per scan Gross margin % 50 % Costs of Optimizing Service Labor cost $5 per scan MOH cost (includes software, utilities, etc.) $25 per scan (a) For Whispering's virus-scan service, calculate the current cost-plus markup percentage (based on service cost rather than full cost, since the selling and administrative expense information has been lost). (Round answer to O decimal places, e.g. 15%.)…

A manufacturer of potato chips would like to know whether its bag filling machine works correctly at the 428 gram setting. Is there sufficient evidence at the 0.05 level that the bags are overfilled?

The systems programmer uses a hashing algorithm to determine storage addresses. The hashing structure is 9,997/key. The resulting number is then used to locate the record. The first two digits after the decimal point represent the cylinder number, while the second two digits represent the surface number. The fifth, sixth, and seventh digits after the decimal point represent therecord number. This algorithm results in a unique address 99 percent of the time. What happens the remainder of the time when the results of the algorithm are not unique? Explain in detail the storage process when key value 3 is processed first, key value 2307 at a later date, and shortly thereafter key value 39.
A recent IBM research of 585 mobile application developers and managers revealed that just one-third of projects met their budget, schedule, and objectives. What are the risks, therefore, for companies like FIMC that rush to market with innovative mobile applications?
S1: Mean per unit estimation is a classical variable sampling technique that projects the sample average to the total population by multiplying the sample average by the number of items in the population. S2: The more the auditor is relying on other substantive procedures to reduce to an acceptable level the detection risk regarding a particular population, the less assurance the auditor will require from sampling, and the smaller the sample size can be. a. BOTH STATEMENTS ARE TRUE b. BOTH STATEMENTS ARE FALSE c. ONLY S1 IS TRUE d. ONLY S2 IS TRUE
Consider the following four statements about value at risk (VaR): The choice of VaR confidence interval and time horizon should be uniform across users. There is not much uniformity of practice as to confidence interval and time horizon; as a result, intuition on what constitutes a large or small VaR is underdeveloped. There are a number of computational and modeling decisions that can greatly influence VaR results, such as the length of time series used for historical simulation or to estimate moments; and the technique used for estimating moments. There are a number of computational and modeling decisions that can greatly influence VaR results, such as mapping techniques and the choice of risk factors. Which of the above statements is/are true?
