One day the weather was really bad. Rain and thunderstorms. Yet, the Colonel wanted to go flying. He went out to the helicopter and got in with a Warrant Officer pilot. Everyone watched as the helicopter picked up to a hover then landed, picked up to a hover then landed. This happened five times. Finally, the aircraft landed and the Colonel walked away. When the pilot got back to operations everyone asked what happened. The pilot said, “When the aircraft is on the ground the Colonel is in charge and he said let’s fly. But when the aircraft is in the air, I’m in charge and I said the weather is too bad we’re not going anywhere”.
It’s not easy to run a successful business, but you may fail if you are reckless.
If a business is worth doing, it is worth doing right. Once you start cooking the books, there is no going back. Ask Bernie Madoff. Be ethical in your research.

Social networking is becoming more and more popular around the
world. Pew Research Center used a survey of adults in several
countries to determine the percentage of adults who use social
networking sites (USA Today, February 8, 2012). Assume
that the results for surveys in Great Britain, Israel, Russia and
United States are as follows.
a. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine whether the proportion of adults using social networking sites equal for all four countries. Using a .05 level of significance. Use Table 12.4.
Choose correct answer from above choice The p-value is - Select your answer -less than .01greater than .01Item 3 What is your conclusion? b. What are the sample proportions for each of the four countries? Round your answers to two decimal places.
Which country has the largest proportion of adults using social
networking sites? c. Using a .05 level of significance, conduct multiple pairwise comparison tests among the four countries. Round p i, p j and Diff to two decimal places. Round CV ij to four decimal places.
What is your conclusion? any help on this would be appriciated, kinda lost on how to do this |

A manufacturing company receives orders for engines from two assembly plants. Plant I needs at least 45 engines, and plant II needs at least 32 engines. The company can send at most 140engines to these assembly plants. It costs $30 per engine to ship to plant I and $40 per engine to ship to plant II. Plant I gives the manufacturing company $20 in rebates toward its products for each engine they buy, while plant II gives similar $10 rebates. The manufacturer estimates that they need at least $1500 in rebates to cover products they plan to buy from the two plants. How many engines should be shipped to each plant to minimize shipping costs? What is the minimum cost?

Markov Analysis 2. Management of a Milk Chocolate Galore company believes that the probability of a customer purchasing its MilkyChoc or the company’s major competition, ChocoMilk, is based on the customer’s most recent purchase. Suppose that the following transition probabilities are appropriate:
To
From MilkyChoc ChocoMilk
MilkyChoc 0.8 0.2
ChocoMilk 0.3 0.7
a. Show the two-period tree diagram for a customer who last purchased MilkyChoc. What is the probability that this customer purchases MilkyChoc on the second purchase?
b. What is the long-run market share for each of these two products?
c. A MilkyChoc advertising campaign is being planned to increase the probability of attracting ChocoMilk customers. Management believes that the new campaign will increase to 0.40 the probability of a customer switching from ChocoMilk to MilkyChoc. What is the projected effect of the advertising campaign on the market shares?

using the fact that : A positive integer n ≥ 3 is constructive if it is possible to construct a regular n-gon by straightedge and compass, it is possible to construct the angle 2π/n. And that if both angles α and β can be constructed by straightedge and compass then so are their sums and differences.The outside angle of a regular n-gon is 2π/n.
1. Suppose that n = p^(α1) ··· p^(αk) where p ,··· , pk are distinct odd primes. Prove that n is constructive if and only if each pi^(αi) is constructive.
2. Prove that 2^α is constructive for any positive integer α ≥ 2

Remember the game of Matching Pennies: First, Player 1 chooses the side ofher penny (Heads or Tails) and conceals her choice from Player 2. Player 2then chooses a side of his penny. If they match, Player 1 takes a dollar fromPlayer 2; if they mismatch, Player 1 gives a dollar to Player 2.
1. Now consider the following variation of that game. After the coins areuncovered, Player 1 can choose to veto the game or not. If Player 1chooses to veto, then no transfer gets made (both players get $0).
(a) (5 points)Write this game in extensive form
(b) (5 points) How many strategies does Player 1 have?
2. Now consider a different variation: Player 1 has to choose to veto or notbefore picking a side of her penny. If she chooses not to veto, then thegame proceeds as regular Matching Pennies.
(a) (5 points) Write this game in extensive form.
(b) (5 points) Write this game in normal form.

(a) Problem Statement
Montana wood products manufacture two high quality products, tables and chairs. Its profit is $15 per chair and $21 per table. Weekly production is constrained by available labor and wood. Each chair requires 4 labor hours and 8 board feet of wood, while each table requires 3 labor hours and 12 board feet of wood. Available wood is 2400 board feet and available labor is 920 hours. Management also requires at least 40 tables and at least 4 chairs to be produce d for every table. To maximize profits, how many chairs and tables should be produced?
(b) Decision Variables
Let C denote number of chairs and let T denote the number of tables
(c) Objective Function
Our goal is to Maximize profit. The Objective Function is Max P = 15C1 + 21T2
(d) Constraints
Each constraint represents a different limiting factor, and this problem has two: hours of labor and amount of wood.
Labor: 4C1 + 3T2 ≤ 920
Wood: 8C1 + 12T2 ≤ 2400
Also, since we can't produce a negitive number of table and chairs, we must imclude the non-negativity constraints:
C1, T2 ≥ 0 and Integer
(e) Mathematical Statement of the Problem
Max P = 15C1 + 21T2
S.T.
4C1 + 3T2 ≤ 920
8C1 + 12T2 ≤ 2400
T2 ≥ 40
C1 - 4T2 ≥ 0
C1, T2 ≥ 0 and Integer
