La Quinta Inn is staffing its receptionists in its biggest hotel in San Antonio. Receptionists work 6-hour shifts at the hotel lobby. There are two types of receptionists: those who speak English as a first language and those who are fully bilingual (English and Spanish). The requirements for the number of receptionists depend on the customer arrivals during various hours. The Inn believes that the need for receptionists between the hours of 7 A.M. and 10 P.M. are as follows:

Receptionists begin work either at 7 A.M., 10 A.M., 1 P.M., or 4 P.M. At least half of the receptionists needed in any time period should speak English as the first language. Further, at least one-quarter of the receptionists needed in any time period should be fully bilingual.

A) How many and what type of receptionists should be hired for each shift to meet the language and staffing requirements, so that the total number of receptionists is minimized?

B) What is the optimal hiring plan from a cost perspective if English-speaking receptionists are paid $30 per hour and bilingual receptionists are paid $35 per hour?

part 1)

One weakness of CPI is that it cannot be calculated until all the costs for a specific analysis period have been entered into the accounting system. Because suppliers and subcontractors usually bill the project at the end of the month, the CPI can only be calculated monthly, limiting its use as a cost control tool.

Group of answer choices

true

false

part 2)

A LCPI greater than 1.0 does not necessarily mean the project cost is under the budget as it ignores materials, subcontractor, and equipment costs.

0.5 microlitres of serum is added in tube 1, which contains 1.5 microlitres of diluent .I have 4 more tubes with 1.0 microlitres of diluent .I do a serial dilution using 0.5 microlitres from the previous tube and adding it to next .What is the dilution factor of tube 1 ?what is dilution factor of tube 5?If i tell you the serum value was 648mg in pure form .How many mg should be in Tube 5?Now the other way ,if tube 5 has 2mg of substance what will you report to physician?

The speed of a runner increased steadily during the first three seconds of a race. Her speed at half-second intervals is given in the table. Find lower and upper estimates for the distance that she traveled during these three seconds.

Part 1 of 5

We will use either L₆ or R₆ for the upper and lower estimates.

Since the runner's speed is an increasing function, then  

will give the lower estimate, and

will give the upper estimate.

A machine having a mass of 80 kg is mounted on springs of total stiffness 877 kN/m with an assumed damping factor of ?=0.25. A piston within the machine has a mass of 1.8 kg. This piston reciprocates with a stroke of 80 mm at a speed of 3000 rpm. The motion of the piston is assumed to be simple harmonic, and parallel to the axis of the springs. Determine the amplitude of the machine vibration resulting from the motion of the piston, and also the phase angle between the motion of the piston and the response of the machine. What will be the amplitude of vibrations:

1. When ξ=0
2. When ξ=0.25 and r=1.0

1) How many moles of acid are there in 23 ml of a 2.1 M HCl solution?

2) 35 ml of a 1.0 M HCl solution was added to a flask and titrated against a solution of 6.4 M NaOH. How many ml of the NaOH solution was required to neutralize the acid?

3) What volume (in liters) of a 1.9 M NaOH solution would neutralize 4.7 moles of H₂SO₄ (diprotic)?

4) Using the formula M₁V₁ = M₂V₂, calculate the new concentration of a solution, if 309 ml of a 1.7 M solution was diluted to 450 ml.
