A certain company produces fidget spinners with ball bearings made of either plastic or metal. Under standard testing conditions, fidget spinners from this company with plastic bearings spin for an average of 2.7 minutes, while those from this company with metal bearings spin for an average of 4.2 minutes. A random sample of three fidget spinners with plastic bearings is selected from company stock, and each is spun one time under the same standard conditions; let x¯1 represent the average spinning time for these three spinners. A random sample of seven fidget spinners with metal bearings is selected from company stock, and each is likewise spun one time under standard conditions; let x¯2 represent the average spinning time for these seven spinners. What is the mean μ(x¯1−x¯2) of the sampling distribution of the difference in sample means x¯1−x¯2 ? 3(2.7)−7(4.2)=−21.3

Consider two populations of coins, one of pennies and one of quarters. A random sample of 25 pennies was selected, and the mean age of the sample was 32 years. A random sample of 35 quarters was taken, and the mean age of the sample was 19 years.

For the sampling distribution of the difference in sample means, have the conditions for normality been met?

• Yes, the conditions for normality have been met because the distributions of age for the two populations are approximately normal.

  A

• Yes, the conditions for normality have been met because the sample sizes taken from both populations are large enough.

  B

• No, the conditions for normality have not been met because neither sample size is large enough and no information is given about the distributions of the populations.

  C

• No, the conditions for normality have not been met because the sample size for the pennies is not large enough and no information is given about the distributions of the populations.

  D

• No, the conditions for normality have not been met because the sample size for the quarters is not large enough and no information is given about the distributions of the populations.

This is problem 8-7 from El-Wakil’s Powerplant Technology book -- air at 14.696 psia, 40 degF, and with 65 percent relative humidity enters the compressor of a gas turbine cycle.

Calculate (a) the air temperature after water injection (b) the percent increase in mass flow rate due to water injection, (c) the compressor work in Btus per pound mass of original air, and (d) the compressor work if water is injected during the compression process to the same temperature as (a), in Btus per pound mass of original air. Use a constant c_p = 0.24 Btu/lb_mdegRankine.

Deeds Company sells custom-made machine parts to industrial equipment manufacturers by bidding cost plus 40 percent, where cost is defined as manufacturing cost plus order processing cost. There are two types of customers: those who place small, frequent orders and those who place larger, less frequent orders. Cost and sales information by customer category is provided below.

Order-filling capacity is purchased in steps (order-processing clerks) of 1,000, each step costing $50,000; variable order-filling activity costs are $35 per order. The activity capacity is 55,000 orders; thus, the total order-filling cost is $4,251,500 [(55 steps × $50,000) + ($35 × 42,900)]. Current practice allocates ordering cost in proportion to the units purchased.

Deeds recently lost a bid for 100 units. (The per-unit bid price was $2 per unit more than the winning bid.) The manager of Deeds was worried that this was a recurring trend for the larger orders. (Other large orders had been lost with similar margins of loss.) No such problem was taking place for the smaller orders; the company rarely lost bids on smaller orders.

Required:

1. Calculate the unit bid price offered to Deeds’s customers assuming that order-filling cost is allocated to each customer category in proportion to units sold. Note: Do not round interim calculations. Round your final answer to the nearest cent.
$

2. Assume that a newly implemented ABC system concludes that the number of orders placed is the best cost driver for the order-filling activity. Assign order-filling costs using this driver to each customer type and then calculate the new unit bid price for each customer type. Note: Do not round interim calculations. Round the final order cost allocation to the nearest whole dollar. Round final bid prices to the nearest cent.

Using this new price, would Deeds have won the bid for the units recently lost?
Yes

3. What if Deeds offers a discount for orders of 35 units or more to the frequently ordering customers? Assume that all the frequently ordering customers can and do take advantage of this offer at the minimum level possible. Compute the new order cost allocation and bid price.

Note: Round the number of steps UP to the nearest whole number, using that result in future calculations. For the Order Cost Allocation and Bid Price, do not round interim calculations. Then round the final order cost allocation to the nearest whole dollar and final Bid Price the nearest cent.

Can Deeds offer the original price from Requirement 1 to the frequently ordering customers and not decrease its profitability?
Yes

Write a program in c++ that prompts the user to input a coin collection of number of quarters, dimes, nickels

and pennies. The program should then convert the coin collection into currency value as dollars. The

coin values should all be whole numbers and the resulting currency value should be displayed with two

decimals. An example of user interaction is as follows:

Coin Convertor

Enter number of quarters:

3

Enter number of dimes:

1

Enter number of nickels:

4

Enter number of pennies:

12

3 quarters(s), 1 dime(s), 4 nickel(s), and 12 penny(ies) is equal to $1.17

First analyze the problem and write the spec in the order of NARRATIVE, INPUT, OUTPUT, CONSTANTS,

CONSTRAINTS, and OPERATIONS, and then code the program according to the spec. Place the spec at

the top of cpp file as comments. The run-time interaction should be formatted exactly as illustrated

above. The constant values 100, 25, 10, and 5 should each be named constant of integer type.

Grading Scale:

Spec is correct and agrees with code

4

Use meaningful variable names

1

Use named constants

2

Code is properly formatted

1

Program compiles and runs correctly

5

Output is formatted properly (or as required) with two decimal

places
