A manufacturer sells two types of products. Product 1 is sold at a price of $50 per unit and product 2 at a price of $60 per unit. Three units of raw material and 1.5 labor hours are needed to manufacture one unit of product 1. Six units of raw material and 2 labor hours are needed to manufacture one unit of product 2. The unit variable cost for product 1 is $30, and for product 2 is $20. A total of 15,000 units of raw material and 10,000 labor hours are available. If any product 1 is produced, a setup cost of $20,000 is incurred; if any product 2 is produced, a setup cost of $35,000 is incurred. Determine how to maximize the manufacturer’s profit.
a) What is the effective capacity for product 1 and product 2, respectively?
b) In the optimal solution, which product(s) will be manufactured? What is the optimal production quantity? What is the optimal profit?

Write a JavaFX application that presents two buttons and a number (initially 50) to the user. Label the buttons Increment and Decrement. When the increment button is pushed, increment the displayed value. Likewise, decrement the value when the decrement button is pushed.
This has to use Java.Fx and not Java.Awt

a) Identify the claim and state Ho and Ha
(b) Determine whether the hypothesis test is left-tailed,
right-tailed, or two-tailed and whether to use a z-test, a t-test,
or a chi-square test. Explain your reasoning
(c)Choose one of the options Option 1: Find the critical value(s),
identify the rejection region(s), and find the appropriate
standardized test statistic. Option 2: Find the appropriate
standardized test statistic and the P-value
(d) Decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null
hypothesis
