A seller claims that the lots of firewood he sells are made up of logs whose weight (in kg) is well modeled by a random variable whose average value is equal to 3 kg and the standard deviation is equal to 0.25 kg. José bought 500 kg of firewood but got the feeling that he had been cheated in the Weight. He counted the logs one by one and came to the conclusion that the seller delivered 170 logs. How likely is it that José was deceived?

“Larry’s logs” is planning to change the supplier. For complete analysis he needs to compute the Multifactor Productivity (MFP) for each supplier. He expects to produce 240 units using old supplier, and 260 using the new supplier. He pays $10 per hour, and will use 300 labor hours with current supplier and 308 hours with the new supplier. Other costs will be consistent across both suppliers (materials are $10 per log), using a total of 100 logs; capital costs will...

Your friend claims he can throw a baseball straight up with a speed of 80 mi/h. You do not believe him, so you design an experiment that will enable you to calculate the speed of a thrown ball. You attach a 0.5-kg block to a vertical spring. The block hangs a distance of 0.05 m below the relaxed position. Your friend stands directly beneath the hanging block and throws the baseball straight up. He releases the ball at a distance...
