Let x be a random variable that represents the weights in kilograms (kg) of healthy adult female deer (does) in December in a national park. Then x has a distribution that is approximately normal with mean μ = 64.0 kg and standard deviation σ = 7.7 kg. Suppose a doe that weighs less than 55 kg is considered undernourished.

(a) What is the probability that a single doe captured (weighed and released) at random in December is undernourished? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect.

(b) If the park has about 2250 does, what number do you expect to be undernourished in December? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. does

(c) To estimate the health of the December doe population, park rangers use the rule that the average weight of n = 55 does should be more than 61 kg. If the average weight is less than 61 kg, it is thought that the entire population of does might be undernourished. What is the probability that the average weight x for a random sample of 55 does is less than 61 kg (assuming a healthy population)? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect.

(d) Compute the probability that x < 65.1 kg for 55 does (assume a healthy population). (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Mini Case Study – Sales and Marketing at the Edgewater Hotel Seattle Set on the Pier 67 in the Seattle Central Waterfront, the Edgewater is one of the most iconic properties in all of the Pacific Northwest. The hotel first opened as a temporary building, meant to attract visitors for the 1962 World's Fair. Today has built a rich history to match its ideal location and luxurious furnishings, but there’s a growing debate among the Sales & Marketing team about the direction of its market positioning. Bob Peckenpaugh, General Manger of the property, needs your help in deciding on their strategy A History of Rock ‘n Roll The Edgewater became famous both inside and outside of Seattle for hosting some of the biggest names in music. During the height of the “British Invasion” of America, the Beatles helped put the Edgewater on the map. A few months after the Beatles famous set on the Ed Sullivan Show, the Beatles spent the third stop on their first tour of America at the (then named) Edgewater Inn. Seattle hotel owners were afraid of riots and damage from a visit, so Don Wright, then Manager of the property took them in as he knew they would get a lot of attention for the Edgewater Inn. He was right.

1. Who do you think are the customers of Edgewater today? Does that align with the product?

2. What approach option do you think that Bob should take? Why is that the right approach or why are the other options the wrong approach?

ABC Construction (ABC or the “Company”), an SEC registrant, is a construction company that manufactures commercial and residential buildings. On March 1, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with a customer, Village Apartments, to construct a residential apartment building for a fixed price of $1.5 million. The Company estimates that it will incur costs of $1 million to complete construction of the apartment building. The apartment building will only transfer to Village Apartments once the construction of the entire building is complete. In addition, Village Apartments has various design requirements that would require ABC to incur significant costs to rework the building prior to selling it to a customer other than Village Apartments.  

To construct the apartment building, ABC acquires standard materials that it regularly uses in construction contracts for both residential and commercial buildings. These materials are used to manufacture generic component parts for inclusion in Village Apartments’ residential buildings. These standard materials remain interchangeable with other items until they are deployed in a Village Apartments building. The Company has made the following purchases and incurred the following costs throughout the construction progress:

• As of June 30, 2018, in total, ABC has purchased $75,000 of component parts. As of June 30, 2018, $25,000 of component parts remain in inventory and $50,000 have been integrated into the project. Further, ABC has incurred $12,500 of direct costs to integrate the component parts into the Village Apartments construction project during the three months ended June 30, 2018.

• During the three months ended September 30, 2018, ABC purchased an additional $500,000 of component parts ($575,000 in total). Of the $575,000 of component parts, $325,000 remain in inventory and $200,000 have been integrated into the project during the three months ended September 30, 2018. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, ABC incurred an additional $50,000 of direct costs to integrate the component parts into the Village Apartments construction project.

• As of September 30, 2018, ABC determined that the project was over budget and revised its cost estimate from $1 million to $1.25 million.

• As of December 3, 2018, the construction project was completed. During the three months ended December 31, 2018, ABC purchased an additional $425,000 of generic component parts ($1 million in total). Of the $1 million component parts, $0 remain in inventory and $750,000 were integrated into the project during the three months ended December 31, 2018. ABC has incurred $187,500 of direct costs to integrate the component parts into the Village Apartments construction project during the three months ended December 31, 2018.

If Village Apartments cancels the contract, ABC will be entitled to reimbursement for costs incurred for work completed to date plus a margin of 20 percent, which is considered to be a reasonable margin. ABC will not be reimbursed for any materials that have been purchased for use in the contract but have not yet been used and are still controlled by ABC.
