1. Single Plantwide Factory Overhead Rate

   Salty Sensations Snacks Company manufactures three types of snack foods: tortilla chips, potato chips, and pretzels. The company has budgeted the following costs for the upcoming period:

   Factory depreciation		$17,457
   Indirect labor		43,263
   Factory electricity		4,934
   Indirect materials		10,246
   Selling expenses		24,288
   Administrative expenses		13,662
   	Total costs	$113,850

   Factory overhead is allocated to the three products on the basis of processing hours. The products had the following production budget and processing hours per case:

   		Budgeted Volume (Cases)				Processing Hours Per Case
   Tortilla chips			5,400			0.12
   Potato chips			1,800			0.15
   Pretzels			6,000			0.10
   	Total		13,200

   If required, round all per-case answers to the nearest cent.

Project 1 - 24 hour to 12 hour conversion

write in c++

Write a program that converts from 24-hour notation to 12-hour notation. For example, it should convert 14:25 to 2:25 PM. The input is given as two integers. There should be at least three functions, one for input, one to do the conversion, and two for output (one for 12-hour time and another for 24-hour time). Record the AM/PM information as a value of type char, ‘A’ for AM and ‘P’ for PM. Thus, the function for doing the conversions will have a call-by-reference formal parameter of type char to record whether it is AM or PM. (The function will have other parameters as well.) Include a loop that lets the user repeat this computation for new input values again and again until the user says he or she wants to end the program.

Each iteration of the loop will process 3 inputs:

1. Hour of current time
2. Minute of current time
3. Whether or not to continue the loop

You mustimplement 4 functions. You are notpermitted to change the name or signature of these functions; the testing framework is going to directly call the functions. The three functions and their signatures are (use the signatures as a hint for how to implement this!):

1. get_input(int &hour, int &minute)- function sets the hour and minute based on user input
2. convert_to_12_hour(int &hour, char &am_pm);- function converts the hour to 12-hour notation and sets AM/PM
3. print_24_hour_time(int hour, int minute)- function outputs the 24-hour time.
4. print_12_hour_time(int hour, int minute, char am_pm)- function outputs the 12-hour time.

Sample execution:

Enter the hour in 24-hour format: 9
Enter the minute in 24-hour format: 13
The time in 24-hour format is 09:13
The time in 12-hour format is 09:13AM
Continue? (y/n): y

Enter the hour in 24-hour format: 12
Enter the minute in 24-hour format: 55
The time in 24-hour format is 12:55
The time in 12-hour format is 12:55PM
Continue? (y/n): y

Enter the hour in 24-hour format: 14
Enter the minute in 24-hour format: 05
The time in 24-hour format is 14:05
The time in 12-hour format is 02:05PM
Continue? (y/n): n

Government standards limit the airborne amount of a known cancer causing gas. A company using such a substance in its production process limits the exposure of its employees to the gas by shutting down production when the amount of the gas reaches 3 ppm(parts per million) with a standard deviation of 0.5 ppm.

(2) If you were the plant manager and you are told management wants as little down time as possible, would you choose a larger or a smaller value of alpha to test whether the amount of gas is dangerous? Explain.

(2) If you were an employee in the plant, would you want the choice of alpha to be larger or smaller?     Explain.

(5) A random sample of 50 air specimens from various sensors in the plant yielded an average of 3.1 ppm. Will this sample data indicate the company should shut down production given their criteria described above? Use alpha = 0.01.

(2) Describe both Type I and Type II errors in the context of this problem.

(5) Calculate the probability of Type II error if in fact the true average plant level is 3.1 ppm. Use alpha = 0.01.

(1) What is the value of the Power of the test in this case?

(5) Calculate the probability of Type II error if in fact the true mean plant level is 3.1 ppm when alpha = 0.05.

(1) What is the Power of the test now?

(2) What do the findings of parts e, f , h , and i confirm about the relationships between alpha, beta and the Power of the test?

Bacterial cells regulate gene expression at both transcription and translation levels. Transcription is controlled by transcription factors or DNA binding proteins that bind promoters (regulatory sequences of genes) and prevent or promote RNA Polymerase binding. Positive control of transcription involves both disabling a repressor and allowing an activator to bind the promoter. Similarly, negative control results in detachment of the activator and binding of the repressor to turn off transcription. Inducible genes encode enzymes involved in catabolic pathways. These genes are turned off by binding of repressors to the operator site (downstream to or overlapping the promoter sequence). To turn them on, an inducer inactivates the repressor causing it to fall off. The promoter is then free to bind an activator at the activator binding site, which further promotes RNA polymerase binding. Repressible genes generally encode enzymes that are part of the anabolic pathways. These genes are generally on until turned off. The aporepressor must be activated by product of the anabolic pathway by a negative feedback mechanism. Thus, the product acts as a corepressor to turn off transcription. The genes are turned back on when co-repressor diffuses away causing the repressor to fall off.

Questions: Bacterial cells must monitor their environment to make appropriate regulatory decisions. Catabolic enzymes are involved in breaking down a nutrient whereas anabolic enzymes are involved in synthesizing an essential nutrient. Let’s assume that bacteria are inoculated into a medium containing both maltose sugar and proline amino acid. Determine whether the MAL and PRO operons will be ON or OFF?

Write a C, C++ or Java program to implement each of the following functions. For each function, use a long long datatype for all integer variables and a double datatype for all decimal variables. Permutations(N,X): This function returns the number of ways X objects can be drawn from N objects in a particular order. Combinations(N,X): This function returns the number of ways X objects can be drawn from N objects ignoring the order in which the objects are drawn. Binomial(N,P,X): This function returns the binomial distribution probability of having X successes in N independent trials, where P is the probability of a success in each trial. Use the above functions in one or more main programs to solve the following problems:

1. A department contains 20 employees. The manager is going to randomly draw 4 employees and give each one a prize. a. How many ways can the 4 employees be drawn if the order in which they are drawn matters (i.e. the prizes have different values)? b. How many ways can the 4 employees be drawn if the order in which they are drawn does not matter (i.e. all prizes have the same value)?

2. A munitions warehouse contains 50 bombs, of which 3 are defective (6%). A sample of 10 bombs is drawn and tested. What is the probability that the sample will contain at most 1 defective bomb?

3. Suppose that the same warehouse contains a "very large" number of hand grenades, of which 7.5% are defective. A sample of 15 grenades is drawn and tested. What is the probability that the sample will contain at most 2 defective grenades?

Sample output for this problem (including some unnecessary debugging information):

Check for correctness of functions: permutations: P(10,4) = 5040 (should be 5040) combinations: C(10,4) = 210 (should be 210) binomial: b(2, 12, 0.06) = 0.127975 (should be 0.127975) Ways of presenting different prizes to 4 of 20 employees: 116280 Ways of presenting the same gifts to 4 of 20 employees: 4845 Probability of at most one faulty bomb in sample size 10: 0.902041 Probability of more than one faulty bomb: 0.097959 The sum of these probabilities is: 1.000000 (should be 1.0) Probability of at most two faulty hand grenades in 15: 0.902602 Turn in the source code listing for each function. For each of the solved problems, turn in the source code for the main program(s). Clearly indicate through in-line commenting the sections of code used to solve each problem. The program should also generate output clearly displaying the solutions to each problem.
