- A roller coaster is being designed for a new theme park. Two "trains" are on the track at any given time. One train is being unloaded/reloaded while the other is moving along the track. The track itself takes 10 minutes to complete. The train being loaded should depart before the arriving train is no closer than one minute away. Each car of a train accommodates four people. Loading a car is estimated to take 6 seconds per passenger. Unloading is estimated to take 6 seconds per passenger. Suppose that (unlike actual roller coasters), only one car can be loaded or unloaded at a time. Unloading can NOT occur at the same time as loading. In order to maximize the number of potential passengers, how many cars should the train be made up of? Round your answer to the nearest whole car.arrow_forwardA political party is planning a ninety-minute television show. The show will have at least 9 minutes of direct requests for money from viewers.

From past experience, Fruit knows that 80% of all batches contain 10% (1 out of 10) defective chips, and 20% of all batches contain 50% (5 out of 10) defective chips. If a good (that is, 10% defective) batch of chips is sent to the next stage of production, processing costs of $4000 are incurred, and if a bad batch (50% defective) is sent on to the next stage of production, processing costs of $16000 are incurred. Fruit also has the alternative of reworking a batch at a cost of $4000. A reworked batch is sure to be a good batch. Alternatively, for a cost of $400, Fruit can test one chip from each batch in an attempt to determine whether the batch is defective. QUESTIONS 1.Determine a strategy so Fruit can minimize the expected total cost per batch. 2.Compute the EVSI and EVPI.arrow_forward
