Suppose products A and B are made from plastic, steel, and glass, with the number of units of each raw material required for each product given by the table below.

​

Plastic Steel Glass
Product A 3 1 0.50
Product B 5 0.50 2

​

Because of transportation costs to the firm's two plants, X and Y, the unit costs for some of the raw materials are different. The table below gives the unit costs for each of the raw materials at the two plants.

Plant X Plant Y
Plastic 11 9
Steel 22 27
Glass 15 14

​

Using the information just given, find the total cost of producing each of the products at each of the factories.

In a manufacturing process where glass products are made, bubbles do occur. When this happens, the quality of the products will be affected. Suppose based on past records, on average, 1 in every 1000 of these glass products produced has one or more bubbles. (i) Apply a suitable exact model to compute the probability that a random sample of 5000 glass products will result in fewer than 4 products with bubbles. (ii) Apply an approximate model to compute the probability...

Tempered glass is made by heating glass to a temperature to 620 ºC, then cooling it quickly by spraying the surface in a procedure known as quenching. Quenching cools the outer surfaces more quickly than the center. As the center cools, it tries to pull back from the outer surfaces, which results in tension of the center and compression of the surfaces, which gives tempered glass its strength. The specific heat capacity of glass is 0.84 J/g ºC. A 23.6...
