Hectic Repair Org. HRO) helps repair homes that are structurally weakened by minor earthquakes. After an earthquake, SmartProtect, an insurance company of some affected customers in the area estimates that the standard time to perform a preliminary damage assessment on an average-sized house would be about two hours. On behalf of the affected customers, SmartProtect is willing to pay a HRO employee doing such damage assessments $65 per hour. Suppose that Michael (an employee at HCRO who does flood damage assessment) takes three hours to complete the assessment on an average-sized house. What is Michael efficiency based on the standard time estimated by SmartProtect?
a. Approximately one hundred and fifty percent.
b. About one-third of an assessment job per hour
c. Approximately one hundred and thirty dollars per assessment
d. Approximately one hundred and ninety five dollars per assessment (before taxes)
e. Approximately sixty seven percent.
A production process produces and packages soap in boxes weighing 140 grams. Owing to inspection carried out by several large municipalities, the penalty for placing, on the average, less than 140 grams in a box can be severe. Likewise it would also be wasteful for the company if they place, on the average, more than 140 grams in a box. Hence, the machine was adjusted to put 140 grams of soap in a box. After a year, the company wants to check if there is a need to readjust the machine. The company wishes to perform a test of hypothesis at 0.01 level of significance using the following data collected from a random sample: (photo attached).
• State Ho and Ha.• Write the formula of the test statistic to be used.• State the decision rule at 0.01 level of significance.• Compute for the value of the test statistic.• Is there sufficient evidence at 0.01 level of significance for the company to conclude that mean weight of soap packaged in a box is not anymore 140 grams so that there is a need…

- Cholesterol Cholesterol in human blood is necessary, but too much can lead to health problems. There are three main types of cholesterol: HDL (high-density lipoproteins), LDL (low-density lipoproteins), and VLDL (very low-density lipoproteins). HDL is considered “good” cholesterol; LDL and VLDL are considered “bad” cholesterol. A standard fasting cholesterol blood test measures total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides. These numbers are used to estimate LDL and VLDL, which are difficult to measure directly. Your doctor recommends that your combined LDL/VLDL cholesterol level be less than 130 milligrams per deciliter, your HDL cholesterol level be at least 60 milligrams per deciliter, and your total cholesterol level be no more than 200 milligrams per deciliter. (a) Write a system of linear inequalities for the recommended cholesterol levels. Let x represent the HDL cholesterol level, and let y represent the combined LDL VLDL cholesterol level. (b) Graph the system of inequalities from part (a). Label any vertices of the solution region. (c) Is the following set of cholesterol levels within the recommendations? Explain. LDL/VLDL: 120 milligrams per deciliter HDL: 90 milligrams per deciliter Total: 210 milligrams per deciliter (d) Give an example of cholesterol levels in which the LDL/VLDL cholesterol level is too high but the HDL cholesterol level is acceptable. (e) Another recommendation is that the ratio of total cholesterol to HDL cholesterol be less than 4 (that is, less than 4 to 1). Identify a point in the solution region from part (b) that meets this recommendation, and explain why it meets the recommendation.arrow_forwardpart three is incorrectarrow_forwardI am having difficulty understanding the handwriting.

- The vintage Restaurant is located on Captiva Island, a resort community located near Fort Meyers, Florida. The restaurant, which is owned and operated by Karen Payne, has just completed its third year of operation. During this time, Karen sought to establish a reputation for the restaurant as a high-quality dining establishment that specializes in fresh seafood. The efforts made by Karen and her staff have proved successful, and her restaurant has become one of the best and fastest-growing restaurants on the island. Karen has just concluded that to plan better for the growth of the restaurant in the future, it is necessary to develop a system that will enable her to forecast food and beverage sales by the month for up to 1 year in advance.

The sales department’s forecast of demand for the next month is shown in below Table 1, along with data on the selling price per yard, variable cost per yard, and purchase price per yard. The mill operates 24 hours a day and is scheduled for 30 days during the coming month. The mill has two types of looms: draw and regular. The draw looms are more versatile and can be used for all five fabrics. The regular looms can produce only three of the fabrics. The mill has a total of 36 looms: 8 are draw and 28 are regular. The rate of production for each fabric on each type of loom is given in below Table 2. The time required to change over from producing one fabric to another is negligible and does not have to be considered. The Lawson Fabric Mill satisfies all demand with either its own fabric or fabric purchased from another mill. Fabrics that cannot be woven at the…arrow_forward

They have three assembly lines, “Razor,” “Blazer,” and “Tracer,” named after the particular dune buggy models produced on those lines. Each assembly line was originally designed using the same target production rate. However, over the years, various changes have been made to the lines. Accordingly, management wishes to determine whether the assembly lines are still operating at the same average hourly production rate. Production data (in dune buggies/hour) for the last eight hours are as follows. (You may find it useful to reference the F table.)
