Recent studies show that using several different cardio regimens for shortperiods of time is more effective than an extended periodof time on one type of equipment. Dana has taken some ofthe existing cardio equipment and arranged them in a lineas follows: stationary bike, treadmill, stair stepper. Clients would select this part of the gym for cardio “circuit train-ing,” spending 15 minutes at each piece of equipment for a total cardio workout time of 45 minutes.a. If the reliability of the bike is 96%, the treadmill is 95%,and the stair stepper is 92%, what is the probability thata client can complete his or her workout uninterruptedby faulty equipment?b. Dana has added a second cardio “line” for circuittraining with the same type of equipment as the firstline. This equipment, however, is older with reliabilitiesof 80% each. If only one client were using the cardiocircuit training…arrow_forward

- Founded in 1970, ABC is one of the world's largest insurance companies with locations in 28 countries. Given the following description, flowchart the new policy setup process as it existed in 1970: Individual customers who wanted to set up a new policy would visit one of ABC's 70 branch offices or make contact with an agent. They would then fill out an application and sometimes attach a check. The branch office then sent the application package through company mail to the XYZ division in London. In addition, a customer might also fill out the application at home and send it directly to any number of ABC locations, which would then transfer it to the London operation. Once received, XYZ separated the various parts of the application, then scanned and digitized it. The electronic image was then retrieved from a server and delivered to an associate's desktop client computer. The associate was responsible for entering the information on the form into the appropriate database.…arrow_forwardCreate a customer blueprint using the guest cycle as a model for a fine-dining Italian restaurant.
