Given two integers as user inputs that represent the number of drinks to buy and the number of bottles to restock, create a VendingMachine object that performs the following operations:
Purchases input number of drinks
Restocks input number of bottles
Reports inventory
The VendingMachine is found in VendingMachine.java. A VendingMachine's initial inventory is 20 drinks.
Ex: If the input is:
5 2
the output is:
Inventory: 17 bottles import java.util.Scanner; public class LabProgram { public static void main(String[] args) { Scanner scnr = new Scanner(System.in); /* Type your code here. */ } }

A toy manufacturer makes its own wind-up motors, which are then put into its toys While the toy manufacturing process is continuous, the motors are intermittent flow. Data on the manufacture of the motors appears below.
Annual demand (D)-50,000 units Daily subassembly production rate = 1,000
Setup cost (S) = $85 per batch Daily subassembly usage rate = 200
Carrying cost = $.20 per unit per year
1. To minimize cost, how large should each batch of subassemblies be?
2. What is the average inventory for this problem?
3. What is the total annual inventory cost (holding plus setup) of the optimal behavior in this 3 Marks problem?

To determine whether the pipe welds in a nuclear power plant meet specifications a random sample of welds is selected, and tests conducted on each. Weld strength is measured as the force required to break the weld. Suppose the specifications state that mean strength of welds should exceed 100lb/in2; the inspection team decides to test Ho : μ = 100 versus Ha : μ < 100 why is this not as good as Ha : μ > 100
