In a far away and long ago, there are only two weather states, rain and sun. If it's sunny today the probability it's be sunny tomorrow is 0.8. If it's rainy today the probability it'll be sunny tomorrow is 0.4. Weather changes are well described by a Markov chain. a) It's sunny today, and tomorrow is the start a 4-day holiday. What is the probability that all 4 days are sunny? b) A parade scheduled for the last day of the holiday. What is the probability of rain on the parade? c) A royal wedding is planned for one year (365) from today. If it's an outdoor wedding what is the probability the wedding gets rained out.

Hint: This is the steps. Thank you

The time married men with children spend on child care averages 6.0 hours per week. You belong to a professional group on family practices that would like to do its own study to determine if the time married men in your area spend on child care per week differs from the reported mean of 6.0 hours per week. A sample of 40 married couples will be used with the data collected showing the hours per week the husband spends on child care. The sample data are contained in the table below.

a. What are the hypotheses if your group would like to determine if the population mean number of hours married men are spending in child care differs from the mean reported in your area?

b. What is the sample mean (to 1 decimal)?

Calculate the value of the test statistic (to 2 decimals).

What is the p-value?

DataSpan, Inc., automated its plant at the start of the current year and installed a flexible manufacturing system. The company is also evaluating its suppliers and moving toward Lean Production. Many adjustment problems have been encountered, including problems relating to performance measurement. After much study, the company has decided to use the performance measures below, and it has gathered data relating to these measures for the first four months of operations.

Management has asked for your help in computing throughput time, delivery cycle time, and MCE. The following average times have been logged over the last four months:

Required:

2. Evaluate the company’s performance over the last four months.

Consider the following information regarding the performance of a money manager in a recent month. The table presents the actual return of each sector of the manager’s portfolio in column (1), the fraction of the portfolio allocated to each sector in column (2), the benchmark or neutral sector allocations in column (3), and the returns of sector indexes in column (4). (1) Actual Return (2) Actual Weight (3) Benchmark Weight (4) Index Return Equity 2.2% 0.50 0.40 2.8% (S&P 500) Bonds 1.1 0.40 0.50 1.7 (Aggregate Bond Index) Cash 0.8 0.10 0.10 0.8 a-1. What was the manager’s return in the month? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Manager’s return % a-2. What was her over or underperformance? (Input the value as positive value. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) % b. What was the contribution of security selection to relative performance? (Negative value should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Contribution of security selection % c. What was the contribution of asset allocation to relative performance? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Contribution of asset allocation

Polarimetry Lab calculations:

I would like some help to figure out how to do this; I want to make sure that I am doing it correct. Here is what I have done so far:

1. Find specific rotations for all the isomers:

I believe these are the equations to use:

X _observed= X _raw - Blank             l= 0.8 dm and c= 0.9600 g/cm³

[X]= X _observed / lc

Can someone show me the calculations for all of them, this is what I did for Unknown:

My Unknown (X): I did x observed= 175.25-200.75= -25.5°

[X]= X _observed / lc -25.5°/(0.8*0.9600)= -33.20°

2. Find the Enantiomer Excess:

The equations our teacher gave were:

EE= [X] _observed / [X]_pure * 100

([X]_pure can be found by [X]= X_pure/ lc

I don’t know how to find x pure. What even is that, where can I get it from the numbers. After I get EE,

I need to find how much of (-) and (+) is in the enantiomer (the equation given for that is

EE= [X]₊ XA + [X]_- (1-X₊)

[X]₊ and [X]_- are supposed to be answers from number 1.

Marketing concept is to place your unique product on the global platform. This includes the availability of goods and services to customers at affordable prices (Webster & Lusch, 2013). The entire product cycle, right from manufacturing to modifying it in accordance to the preferences of the majority consumers. My experience with marketing strategy is that there are wide variety of products available. As compared to earlier days when theme park meant only those in the western world now there are more theme parks in the global market for same purpose. It then created diversity to some extent and notice consumers will go for the brand that hit the market, example Disneyland and Universal Studio. However, this may not be true to all products, as I personally have changed my preferences as time goes by. Another example, toothpaste still brings one name to my mind, even though there are several options available for day to day usages. Organizations began to conduct markets survey, study consumer behavior and eventually the result help to create products that suits the needs of the customers. So far there are no products has ever fail to meet my expectations even with something new in market that hits the store. Sometimes it is the mindset that restricts us from using another product from what we had been using for ages. Again, it does not restrict me from trying other products, however it sometimes so happens that after using a certain new product the satisfaction level is not as much as I had derived from the previous one which takes me back. The value of the brands in a competitive market can vouch for its survival. Value is subjective to how much the consumers would perceive the brand prior to making that decision. Therefore, it’s perceive as regard to the superiority of the brand as compared to unknown brand in the market. The way of marketing concepts has also changed a lot and because of many organizations are trying to be innovative and creative so that they are effective in the industry. There are various ways through which a business organization uses marketing strategies to help them in the business perspective, there are many platforms if we look at the trend of business marketing we will see that social media has emerged as one of the popular platforms in this context and the output has been surprisingly good. Social media has been selected as a platform because it exhibits each and daily, and the number can be high, therefore the platform is effective and will yield results. Using social media has been the most accepted way of marketing because organizations today are spending almost in this avenue because it is convenient and yielding proper results for the organization. In my own work experience, I learned organization need to be flexible and depending upon the demand of the industry and consumer demand, in order to sustain and excel in theme park business globally, using social platform ought to gain its popularity and Universal Studio Park in Beijing is using it as the platform of marketing, this is the future and the need to be available to sustain in the theme park industry. Consumers will evaluate the creditability based upon previous reviews in terms of how honestly it illustrates its model and quality features. Consumers comprehending in terms of the performance and brand’s expectations so long ensuring a long-term inspiration to consumers. Initially it was something new but today it is very common and with the Smart Phones and Tablets advancing every minute the process has become convenient for end users, and they have got used to this convenience to feedback. Therefore, social media is still the big thing in marketing and will rule the future of marketing.

Critically analyze perspectives on the operations management profession, expressing why operations is the key for long-term survival, in terms of cost, speed, dependability, sustainability, and maintaining a competitive advantage within the global market?
