Twelve dogs from three different breeds (basenji, Shetland sheepdog, beagle) were either indulged or disciplined between the third and eight weeks of their lives. The indulged animals were encouraged in play, aggression, and climbing on their caretaker. In contrast, the disciplined dogs were retrained to their handler’s lap, taught to sit, stay, come, and so on. The indulged-disciplined treatment was inspired by reports that overindulged children cannot often inhibit their impulses in structured situations. Each dog was taken into a room with a bowl of meat. The dog was hungry but the handler prevented it from eating for 3 minutes by hitting on the rump with a newspaper and shouting ‘no’. The handler left the room and the length of time it took the dog to begin eating the meat was recorded. Presumably, the indulged dog should go to the food more quickly than the disciplined dogs.

a. State the hypotheses for each of the three separate tests included in the two-factor ANOVA.

b. Use SPSS or manual calculation to test the significance of main and the interaction effects.

c. Present the effect size for each of the three tests

Three years from now (now =Year 0) the equipment that Dark Star Technologies uses to coat and protect the surfaces on its products will have to be replaced. Dark Star plans to operate the new equipment for 7 years (Years 4 to 10). The company is considering two procurement options.

Option 1: MAKE the manufacturing equipment in-house. The yearly acquisition costs associated with developing the equipment in-house are as follows: Year 1 = $200,000, Year 2 = $700,000, Year 3 = $1,000,000. The Annual Operation & Maintenance Cost of the in-house developed equipment will be $100,000 (Years 4 to 10). Assume the equipment has zero salvage value.

Option 2: BUY manufacturing equipment available from ACME Specialties. The acquisition cost associated with purchasing the equipment is $1,000,000 (Year 3). The Annual Operation and Maintenance Cost of the manufacturing equipment purchased from Acme Specialties will be $300,000 (Years 4 to 10). Assume the equipment has zero salvage value. For an interest rate = 10%

a) Calculate the equivalent cost at future Year 3 of Option 1 and Option 2. Year 3 is when the system goes into operation, i.e., the end of the production phase for Option 1 (MAKE) or when the purchased equipment is ready for use OPTION 2 (BUY).

b) Which option should Dark Star Technologies choose based on equivalent costs?

4.24 LAB*: Program: Drawing a half arrow

This program outputs a downwards facing arrow composed of a rectangle and a right triangle. The arrow dimensions are defined by user specified arrow base height, arrow base width, and arrow head width.

(1) Modify the given program to use a loop to output an arrow base of height arrowBaseHeight. (1 pt)

(2) Modify the given program to use a loop to output an arrow base of width arrowBaseWidth. Use a nested loop in which the inner loop draws the *’s, and the outer loop iterates a number of times equal to the height of the arrow base. (1 pt)

(3) Modify the given program to use a loop to output an arrow head of width arrowHeadWidth. Use a nested loop in which the inner loop draws the *’s, and the outer loop iterates a number of times equal to the height of the arrow head. (2 pts)

(4) Modify the given program to only accept an arrow head width that is larger than the arrow base width. Use a loop to continue prompting the user for an arrow head width until the value is larger than the arrow base width. (1 pt)

while (arrowHeadWidth <= arrowBaseWidth) {
    // Prompt user for a valid arrow head value
}

Example output for arrowBaseHeight = 5, arrowBaseWidth = 2, and arrowHeadWidth = 4:

Enter arrow base height:
5
Enter arrow base width:
2
Enter arrow head width:

A car rental company allows its customers to pick up a rental car at one location and return it to any of its locations. Currently, two locations (1 and 2) have 16 and 18 surplus cars, respectively; and four locations (3, 4, 5, and 6) each need 10 additional cars. Because 34 surplus cars are available at locations 1 and 2 combined, and 40 cars are needed at locations 3, 4, 5, and 6 combined, some locations will not receive as many cars as they need. Management wants to make sure all surplus cars are sent where they are needed, and that each location needing cars receives at least five. Management wants to do this with the lowest total miles added to the cars. The distance (in miles) from locations 1 and 2 to the other locations are summarized in the following table:

(1.1) Formulate a linear programming model for this problem

(1.2) Create a spreadsheet model for this problem and solve it using Solver. Submit your Excel file on iLearn.

(1.3) What is the optimal solution?

(1.4) Which location is receiving the fewest cars?

(1.5) Suppose location 6 must have at least eight cars shipped to it. What impact does this have on the optimal objective function value?
