Priti and Dan each produce strong cocktails and yummy cookies. Priti takes less time than Dan to mix up a cocktail and to bake a batch of cookies. Thus, Priti would rather produce on her own because she cannot gain from trade with Dan. True or False with explanation.

False.

(Here Priti has absolute advantage in both cocktails and cookies. But from Ricardo's comparative advantage theory we know that they can work together even in this circumstance. According to the theory, Priti and Dan should make the product which has lesser opportunity cost. If Priti can make 10 cocktails or 12 cookie in an hour, while Dan can make 8 cocktails or 4cookie in an hour, then Priti should specialise in cookies while Dan should specialise in cocktails as per the lower opportunity cost.

Say Priti goes ahead and makes 12 cookies then goes to Dan for a deal. Now for Dan every cookie is worth 2 cocktails (i.e 8cookies/4cocktails). To earn from the trade Dani quotes a lesser value of around 1.5 cocktails per cookie. Priti agrees and now gets 18 cocktails which is greater than the 10 she would have produced alone in an hour, whereas Dan gets cookies at a cheaper cost than he could have produced himself.)

McDonald’s makes the claim that it takes 90 seconds or less from the time a car stops at the order point to delivery of an order through the window. How can McDonald’s substantiate this claim when drive-thru times vary? How does McDonald’s quantify the uncertainty surrounding its estimate of drive-thru service time? How can the variability in drive-thru service times be quantified? Why is it important to understand variability? Why is it important for McDonald’s to effectively communicate its statistical...

A car manufacturer has determined it takes an average time of 54 minutes to produce a car. The population standard deviation is assumed to be 4 minutes. The company pays a bonus to the workers for every car produced in 46 minutes or less. Assuming that the production time is normally distributed, answer the following questions. Let X = production time of a randomly selected car. Round all probabilities to four decimal places and times to two decimal places. a)...

When a machine is properly calibrated, it takes an average time of 19.0 seconds to produce a widget, with a standard deviation of 2.8 seconds. For a simple random sample of n = 36 widgets, the sample mean production time is found to be x-bar = 20.2 seconds. If the machine was properly calibrated, what is the probability that the mean for this sample would be 20.2 seconds or more? Now that you know the probability of this sample mean...
