6. Consider customizing a laptop before buying it. You have: 3 choices for the CPU: 2.5GHZ,
3GHZ or 3.5 GHz, 4 choices for the RAM: 4GB, 8GB, 16GB and 32GB. 2 choices for the graphics:
high end or low end. However, one is not allowed to choose 3GHZ CPU and high end
graphics at the same time. How many possible ways can one customize the laptop?

When Line One operates it assembles 30 units of the OLED model and 50 units of the LED model per hour. Line Two assembles 40 units of the OLED model and 40 units of the LED model per hour. Let x be the number of hours that Line One operates and y the number of hours Line Two operates. Phony needs to produce at least 3000 units of the OLED model and 4000 units of the LED model to fill an order. (a) Write down the inequalities that describe the assembly constraints. (b) Graph the feasible region determined by these constraints.arrow_forwardA solar panel manufacturer located in Renton, WA sells its product in two countries: U.S. and Mexico. Currently, two customer service staff are working independently to answer phone calls at the call center. The first staff “Vanessa” speaks English only, and she is assigned to a line dedicated to domestic calls. The second staff “Gabriela” speaks Spanish only, and she is assigned to a line dedicated to international calls from Mexico. For simplicity, assume that all domestic calls are in English and all international calls are in Spanish, calls are taken first-come first-serve and are placed on hold if the line is busy. Currently, incoming calls to each staff follow a Poisson distribution with a mean of 10/hr (total mean arrival rate to the customer service center is 20/hr.) The processing time of each staff is exponential with a mean of 4 minutes. In any given period, one staff is usually very busy while the other has nothing to do. For example, when there are many calls from…arrow_forward

The resort is in a heavily wooded area, and the developers want to preserve as much ofthe natural beauty as possible. To do so, the developers want to connect all the various facilitiesin the complex with a combination walking–riding path that will minimize the amount of pathwaythat will have to be cut through the woods. The following network shows possible connectingpaths and corresponding distances (in yards) between the facilities: Determine the path that will connect all the facilities with the minimum amount of constructionand indicate the total length of the pathway.arrow_forwardMonroe County is trying to determine where to place the county fire station. The locations of the county’s four major towns are as follows: (10, 20), (60, 20), (40, 30), and (80, 60) (see Figure 7.50). Town 1 averages 40 fires per year; town 2, 25 fires; town 3, 20 fires; and town 4, 30 fires. The county wants to build the fire station in a location that minimizes the average distance that a fire engine must travel to respond to a fire. Because most roads run in either an east-west or a north-south direction, the fire engine must do the same. For example, if the fire station is located at (30, 40) and a fire occurs at town 4, the fire engine has to travel |80 - 30| + |60 - 40| = 70 miles to the fire. a. Determine where the fire station should be located. Round your answers to three decimal places. X Y Location of fire stationarrow_forward

She creates two groups of 25 students each and gives each group the same sight word flashcards. Group A is assigned to practice with the flashcards for 10 minutes every day for their first semester. Group B is not given this assignment. Each group is tasked with keeping a reading log during their second semester. At the end of 1st grade, Dr. Barton counts how many books each group has read. Group A read 68 books, and Group B read 92 books. The control group is: The independent variable is: The dependent variable is: This study shows that there is a positive correlation between 10 minutes of daily flashcard practice of sight words and the amount of books read.

They distribute their food from each kitchen to their assigned regions using a hub and spoke network. Each night, one large truck hauls all of the pouches for a single region to a parking lot in the middle of that region. The pouches are then transferred from the large truck to several vans in the parking lot. These vans then deliver the pouches to the customers in the early morning hours. This is sometimes called "pooled" operations, where a larger capacity vehicle brings in a large quantity of items that are "cross-docked" into smaller local vehicles for final delivery. You are trying to understand the cost of delivering to the Oklahoma City region north of your kitchen in Dallas, Texas. You understand the following: Each evening one truck leaves the kitchen in Dallas and drives to the parking lot (the pool point) in the center of the Oklahoma City region with all of the pouches for that…arrow_forward
- Kentville, a community of 10,000 people, resides next to a krypton mine, and there is a concern that the emission from the krypton smelter have resulted in adverse effects. Specifically, Kryptonosis seems to have killed 12 of Kentville’s inhabitants last year. A neighboring community, Lanesburg, has 25,000 inhabitants and is far enough from the smelter to not be affected by the emission. In Lanesburg, only three people last year died of Kryptonosis. Given that the number of deaths in Kentville and their causes last year were: Heart attack=7 Accidents=4 Kryptonosis=12 Other=6 What is the risk of dying of Kryptonosis in Kentville relative to non-contaminated locality?What is the risk of dying of Kryptonosis in Kentville relative to deaths due to other causes?
