Two processes share the variable "I". Process A increments it 10
times and process B decrements it 25 times without using critical
sections. The initial value of I is 0. The final value of I MUST
be
Please explain.
Consider the intermediates and regulation of the processes
listed below. Consider how the following processes relate to each,
common metabolites and coordinated regulation.
glycolysis
pyruvate processing
citric acid cycle
gluconeogenesis
pentose phosphate pathway
glycogen metabolism
oxidative phosphorylation
beta oxidation
lipid synthesis
urea cycle
Write all enzymes that will be upregulated in response to high
blood sugar. In the second color, circle all enzymes that will be
upregulated in response to low blood sugar.
Consider a population with mean 100 and standard deviation of
10. If we randomly select a data point from the population, what is
the probability that the point will be between 90 and 110? (Hint:
consider the Z-scores)?
What percentage of the population lies between 900 and
1100?
Design specifications require that a key dimension on a product
measure 100 ± 10 units. A process being considered for producing
this product has a standard deviation of four units.
a.
What can you say (quantitatively) regarding the process
capability? Assume that the process is centered with respect to
specifications. (Round your answer to 4 decimal
places.)

Suppose the process average shifts to 92. Calculate the new
process capability. (Round your answer to 4 decimal
places.)...
A computer chip manufacturer finds that, historically, for ever
100 chips produced, 85 meet specifications, 10 need reworking, and
5 need to be discarded. Ten chips are chosen for inspection. A)
What is the probability that all 10 meet specs? B) What is the
probability that 2 or more need to be discarded? C) What is the
probability that 8 meet specs,1 needs reworking, and 1 will be
discarded?
You are tasked with a process selection project. There are two
processes (A and B) that could potentially work for your
application (cutting tubing to a specified length). Sample data is
provided by the two companies. Out of the 16 samples from process
A, you find an average of 17.92 inches and a standard deviation of
1.98 inches. Thirteen samples were taken from process B improvement
and had an average length of 16.58 inches and a standard deviation
of 1.30...
Ringsmith Company is considering two different processes to make
its product—process 1 and process 2. Process 1 requires Ringsmith
to manufacture subcomponents of the product in-house. As a result,
materials are less expensive, but fixed overhead is higher. Process
2 involves purchasing all subcomponents from outside suppliers. The
direct materials costs are higher, but fixed factory overhead is
considerably lower. Relevant data for a sales level of 25,000 units
follow:
Process 1
Process 2

2. If the mean of a distribution is 100 with a standard
deviation of 10, what raw score is associated with a z-score of
+2.003.

Consider a simplification of a autonomous vehicle project on
Markov processes. The process has three states that describe the
driving environment: s1:= “driving in city,”
s2 := “driving in suburbs,” s3 := “driving in
rural area (‘country’).” If the car is driving in the city, there
is a 50% chance the next passenger pickup assignment will also be
in the city. If the car is driving in the suburbs, there is a 40%
chance the next passenger pickup assignment will...
