Explanation of Solution

A.

Given Information:

There are 5 regular lines ad 1 express lines.

Average time a customer spends in a regular line = 11 min which means that one regular line can handle 5.45 customers per day.

Average time a customer spends in an express line = 4 min which means that one express line can handle 15 customers per day.

Shift duration = 12 hours per day

Thus,

The capacity of 5 regular lines = 5.45 × 12 × 5 = 327 customers per day

The capacity of 1 express lines = 15 × 12 × 1 = 180 customers per day

Therefore, the maximum capacity of store = (327 + 180) = 507 customers per day.

Explanation of Solution

Given Information:

There are 5 regular lines ad 1 express lines.

Average time a customer spends in a regular line = 11 min which means that one regular line can handle 5.45 customers per day.

Average time a customer spends in an express line = 4 min which means that one express line can handle 15 customers per day.

Shift duration = 12 hours per day

The store’s capacity by day of the week is as follows:

    PeriodMonday
    HoursNo. of lines openCapacity (customers per day)
    9-12 noon31
    5.45 × 3 × 1 = 16.35
    12-4 PM42
    5.45 × 4 × 2 = 43.6
    4-6 PM23
    5.45 × 2 × 3 = 32.7
    6-9 PM34
    5.45 × 3 × 4 = 65.4
    Total Capacity of Regular Line (Customers per day)158.05

Since the express line is always open, and the capacity is 180 customers per day.

Therefore, the maximum capacity on Monday is 338 customers per day.

Also, the maximum capacity on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday will be 338 customers per day as same number of regular lines are open as on Monday.

    PeriodFriday
    HoursNo. of lines openCapacity (customers per day)
    9-12 noon33
    5.45 × 3 × 3 = 49.05
    12-4 PM43
    5.45 × 4 × 3 = 65.4
    4-6 PM25
    5.45 × 2 × 5 = 54.5
    6-9 PM35
    5.45 × 3 × 5 = 81.75
    Total Capacity of Regular Line (Customers per day)250.7

Since the express line is always open, and the capacity is 180 customers per day.

Therefore, the maximum capacity on Friday is 431 customers per day.

    PeriodSaturday
    HoursNo. of lines openCapacity (customers per day)
    9-12 noon35
    5.45 × 3 × 5 = 81.75
    12-4 PM45
    5.45 × 4 × 5 = 109
    4-6 PM23
    5.45 × 2 × 3 = 32.7
    6-9 PM33
    5.45 × 3 × 3 = 49.05
    Total Capacity of Regular Line (Customers per day)272.5

Since the express line is always open, and the capacity is 180 customers per day.

Therefore, the maximum capacity on Saturday is 452.5 customers per day.

    PeriodSunday
    HoursNo. of lines openCapacity (customers per day)
    9-12 noon32
    5.45 × 3 × 2 = 32.7
    12-4 PM44
    5.45 × 4 × 4 = 87.2
    4-6 PM22
    5.45 × 2 × 2 = 21.8
    6-9 PM31
    5.45 × 3 × 1 = 16.35
    Total Capacity of Regular Line (Customers per day)158.05

Since the express line is always open, and the capacity is 180 customers per day.

Therefore, the maximum capacity on Sunday is 338.5 customers per day.

Major League Baseball's World Series is a maximum of seven games, with the winner being the first team to win four games. Assume that the Atlanta Braves and the Minnesota Twins are playing in the World Series and that the first two games are to be played in Atlanta, the next three games at the Twins' ballpark, and the last two games, if necessary, back in Atlanta. Taking into account the projected starting pitchers for each game and the home field advantage, suppose the probabilities of Atlanta winning each game are as follows. Game 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Probability of Win 0.61 0.56 0.47 0.44 0.47 0.54 0.49 Construct a simulation model in which whether Atlanta wins or loses each game is a random variable. Use the model to answer the following questions. (Use at least 1,000 trials.) (a) What is the average number of games played regardless of winner?

Model File Available: Download NBAGIMS.xlsx The Iowa Wolves are scheduled to play against the Maine Red Claws in an upcoming game in the National Basketball Association (NBA) G League. Because a player in the NBA G League is still developing his skills, the number of points he scores in a game can vary substantially. Develop a spreadsheet model that simulates the points scored by each team. Assume that each player's point production can be represented as an integer uniform variable with the ranges provided in the following table. (Use at least 1,000 trials.) Player Iowa Wolves Maine Red Claws 1 [5, 20] [6, 12] 2 [7, 20] [15, 20] 3 [5, 10] [10, 20] 4 [10, 40] [15, 30] 5 [7, 20] [6, 10] 6 [2, 10] [1, 20] 7 [2, 5] [1, 4] 8 [2,4] [2,4] (a) Consider the points scored by the Iowa Wolves team.

The wedding date for a couple is quickly approaching, and the wedding planner must provide the caterer an estimate of how many people will attend the reception so that the appropriate quantity of food is prepared for the buffet. The following table contains information on the number of RSVP guests for the 145 invitations. Unfortunately, the number of guests does not always correspond to the number of RSVPed guests. Based on her experience, the wedding planner knows it is extremely rare for guests to attend a wedding if they notified that they will not be attending. Therefore, the wedding planner will assume that no one from these 50 invitations will attend. The wedding planner estimates that the each of the 25 guests planning to come solo has a 74% chance of attending alone, a 20% chance of not attending, and a 6% chance of bringing a companion. For each of the 60 RSVPs who plan to bring a companion, there is a 90% chance that they will attend with a companion, a 4% chance of attending…
