Although “it is impossible to prepare a response to something that has not been considered in advance”, still we work on resilient engineering as, a system is resilient to the degree to which it rapidly and effectively protects its critical capabilities from disruption caused by adverse events and conditions. RE can provide society and its critical infrastructure with means, methods and technologies to overcome unexampled events with as less harm as possible and to come out even stronger and better prepared afterwards. There are 4 R’s that are critical to the resilience engineering. Q1. There are 4 R’s that are critical to the resilience engineering. Explain them with some examples. Q2. There are 4 Strategies to increase system resilience given them in book. What strategy is most applicable to you as a software programmer and why? Q3. How do you think resilience will be different for technical systems vs sociotechnical systems? Q4. Out of three levels of security I.e. Infrastructure security, Application security and Operational security, we can only deal with application security. Although it is the area we work on, but overall security of even our application depends upon the organizational security policies. Do you agree? Comment using an example. Q5. There are 4 types of security threats namely, Interception, interruption, modification and fabrication. As a software programmer, what threat is the one you may work to avoid and how? Q6. There are 10 Design guidelines for security engineering given in the book. Which you think is the most important and should be used in your everyday software development practices.

Sterilized milk & the Japanese Market

Dairy pride, a U.S. manufacturer of milk-sterilizing equipment, wants to introduce its equipment

into Japan but has encountered numerous problems. Sterilized milk is a recent innovation that

offers two main advantages over fresh milk: it can be stored at room temperature for up to three

months and has twice the refrigerated shelf life of ordinary milk after the package is opened.

Dairy pride has developed superior equipment for sterilizing milk that avoids the unpleasant side

effects of sterilization—a cooked and slightly burnt taste and a filminess that lingers in the

mouth after the milk is swallowed.

In searching for new markets for its equipment, the company sees Japan as a good candidate.

Japan has a large population, a low but growing rate of per capita milk consumption, and a

limited availability of fresh milk. As Dairy pride sets out to sell its equipment to large Japanese

dairies, it encounters the following obstacles:



It has to develop an advertising campaign to change Japanese milk consumption habits

and convince Japanese consumers of the advantages of buying and drinking sterilized

milk.



The Consumers’ Union of Japan opposes the product because of concerns about sterilized

milk’s safety.



Dairy farmers located near large cities oppose the distribution of sterilized milk. They

fear competition from faraway dairies, since sterilized milk has a long inventory life and

can be shipped long distances.



Several large retailers say they will not carry sterilized milk because of interest-group

pressure. Milk specialty stores, which thrive on home deliveries, also oppose the

introduction of sterilized milk.



The Health and Welfare Ministry and the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry have

indicated they will wait and gauge consumer acceptance of sterilized milk before taking

action to approve or disapprove general distribution.

Please follow the steps outlined in Megamarketing and develop a plan for successfully managing

this difficult environment.

Calculate the GDP for the following two examples. Show your work.

1. (1 point) Using the information below, calculate the nominal GDP.

2. (4 points) GDP is the sum of the market value of all final goods and services produced in an economy in a given year. In the following scenario, compute the value added at each stage of production, and compare this figure to the final value of the product produced and in 1 page or less, explain why we only include either the value-added or the final value of the product in GDP. Report your results in a table.

Scenario: Suppose a dairy farm produces raw milk, which it sells for $800 to a dairy. The dairy produces milk which it sells or $2500 to a cheese manufacturer. The cheese manufacturer uses the milk to make cheese, which it sells for $6000 to a grocery store. The grocery store sells the cheese to consumers for $9,000.

3. (3 points) Suppose a single product economy produced 2000 pounds of beef in 2010. The price of a pound of beef was $3 in 2010. The price of beef was $5 per pound in 2015 and the economy produced 4300 pounds.
   1. Calculate the nominal GDP for 2010 and 2015
   2. Calculate the real GDP for 2010 and 2015, assuming 2010 as the base year.
   3. Calculate the GDP price index for 2010, using 2015 as the base year.

4. (2 points) In ½ page or less explain why a country should use real GDP rather than nominal GDP to measure the economic well-being of the country?

I am having a bunch of trouble trying to figure these out each time I think I have the inputs right with these questions I keep coming up with the wrong answers can someone walk me through this?

1.) Ashley, of Bhak Dat Stat Up! (a Tsygylyk subsidiary), wanted to test the claim that the standard deviation for the number of months in a relationship, before a couple had their first argument, would be at least 5 months, She randomly surveyed forty couples and found their mean to be 12.9 months with a standard deviation of 3.1 months. At a 5% significance level, can he conclude that the standard deviation for all such couples is at least 5 months?

2.) D-Bar! Magazine wanted to see if a statistics tutorial class had any effect on college quiz scores; total possible points were 25. They sent , of “Rasta Mon!” fame, to survey a sample of six statistics students that took this tutorial class. The table below gives their scores before and after the completion of the “stats” tutorial class. (Assume an approx. normal distribution.)

Construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean differences between the scores before and after the completion of the “stats” tutorial class.
