Consider again that the company making tires for bikes
is concerned about the exact width of its cyclocross tires. The
company has a lower specification limit of 22.8 mm and an upper
specification limit of 23.2 mm. The standard deviation is 0.15 mm
and the mean is 23 mm. The company now wants to reduce its defect
probability as 0.01. To what level would it have to reduce the
standard deviation in the process to meet this

George Kyparisis owns a company that manufactures sailboats. Actual demand for George's sailboats during each of the past four seasons was as follows:
| Season | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Winter | 1,440 | 1,240 | 1,000 | 960 |
| Spring | 1,500 | 1,440 | 1,640 | 1,540 |
| Summer | 1,000 | 2,100 | 2,040 | 2,000 |
| Fall | 640 | 750 | 670 | 520 |
George has forecasted that annual demand for his sailboats in year 5 will equal 6,500 sailboats.
Based on the given data and using the multiplicative seasonal model, the demand level for George's sailboats in the spring of year 5 will be _______ sailboats (enter a whole number).

An axial flow fan 1.83 m diameter is designed to run at a speed of 1400 rev/min with an average axial air velocity of 12.2 m/s
An axial flow fan 1.83 m diameter is designed to run at a speed of 1400 rev/min with an average axial air velocity of 12.2 m/s. A quarter scale model has been built to obtain a check on the design and the rotational speed of the model fan is 4200 rev/min. Determine the axial air velocity of the model so that dynamical similarity with the full-scale fan is preserved. The effects of Reynolds number change may be neglected.
A sufficiently large pressure vessel becomes available in which the complete model can be placed and tested under conditions of complete similarity. The viscosity of the air is independent of pressure and the temperature is maintained constant. At what pressure must the model be tested?

(Yoggo Soft Drink) A small, privately owned Asian company is producing a private-label soft drink, Yoggo. A machine-paced line puts the soft drinks into plastic bottles and then packages the bottles into boxes holding 10 bottles each. The machine-paced line is com-prised of the following four steps: (1) the bottling machine takes 1 second to fill a bottle, (2) the lid machine takes 3 seconds to cover the bottle with a lid, (3) a labeling machine takes 5 seconds to apply a label to a bottle, and (4) the packaging machine takes 4 seconds to place a bottle into a box. When a box has been filled with 10 bottles, a worker tending the packaging machine removes the filled box and replaces it with an empty box. Assume that the time for the worker to remove a filled box and replace it with an empty box is neg-ligible and hence does not affect the capacity of the line. At step 3 there are two labeling machines that each process alternating bottles; that is, the first machine processes bottles 1, 3, 5, . . . and the second machine processes bottles 2, 4, 6, . . . . Problem data are sum-marized in the table following.
a. What is the process capacity (bottles/hour) for the machine-paced line?
b. What is the bottleneck in the process?
c. If one more identical labeling machine is added to the process, how much is the increase in the process capacity going to be (in terms of bottles/hour)?
d. What is the implied utilization of the packaging machine if the demand rate is 60 boxes/ hour? Recall that a box consists of 10 bottles.
