A certain manufacturer is interested in evaluating two alternative manufacturing plans consisting of different machine layouts. Fifty eight consecutive working days were selected and each plan was monitored and the number of items produced each day was recorded. Some of the collected data is shown below:

DAY PLAN 1 OUTPUT PLAN 2 OUTPUT

1 1234 units 1311 units

2 1355 units 1366 units

3 1300 units 1289 units

. . .

. . .

Which of the following confidence intervals would indicate that Plan 2 produces a higher average output than Plan 1? Assume we are comparing (Plan 1 – Plan 2)

(-25.6, -2.6)

(-3.5, 85.6)

(45.3, 55.6)

(-10.5, 36.5)

A researcher is interested in evaluating a certain brand of radial auto tire. Twenty tires are randomly selected from retail outlets throughout the country, and each is placed on a special machine which rotates the tires at a constant speed (equivalent to 55 miles per hour) against the friction equivalent of a 4000 pound auto being driven on a smooth highway. Each tire is run until there is no tread left. The number of miles (in thousands) were as follows:...

A certain firm is evaluating the proposed acquisition of a new milling machine. The cost of machine is Rs. 1,000,000 and it would cost another Rs. 200,000 to modify it for special use. The firm has been using the straight-line depreciation assuming 5 years life and Rs 100,000 of salvage value. The machine would require an increase in net working capital (inventory) of Rs.100,000. The milling machine would have no effect on revenues, but it is expected to save the...
