List the main members of the set of techniques known as the Seven Tools of Total Quality Management (TQM). Then, mention two out of this list which are considered key techniques for defining processes and identifying sources of variation. At which stage in a CQI project life-cycle are these two key techniques needed the most?

In your own words, provide 3 methods of buying stocks, and explain the transaction in detail (provide information about the transaction, for example, if one of your methods is buying from an online platform, mention CFDs and explain what it is and how does the transaction works including the kind of commission or fees paid).

List the 3 major factors that alter vascular resistance (diameter, length, viscosity) and then give a specific example how we can alter each of those specific factors during our lifetime. In your example be sure to mention what impact that change has on blood distribution and a person’s health.

BQ(11). “Some procurement and supply managers mention that: We can’t be spending money on supplier development—we’re not in business to train suppliers and do their job for them!”

BQ(11.a). What type of barrier does this statement represent?

BQ(11.b). How would you respond to such a statement?

1) There are many versions of MPEG. Mention those including their applications.

2) What is the difference between MPEG 2 and MPEG 4 and which one is better?

3) What do you about digital video broadcasting (DVB)?

4) Describe the data transmission using MPEG-2 and DVB.

Real GDP per capita tells us the average level of income (and expenditure) for a person in the economy. While countries with higher levels of GDP per capita tend to enjoy better healthcare, higher levels of life expectancy or higher average years of schooling (to mention a few), compared to countries with low levels of real GDP per capita, many still argue that this is an imperfect measure of the true level of well-being for members of an economy. Explain why you believe real GDP per capita may not be a very good measure of economic well-being, and briefly mention and elaborate on one or two alternative indexes or metrics that could be used instead (or in addition to). If you believe real GDP is, in fact, a near-perfect measure of economic well-being, support your position defending this measure of well-being explaining why it is a superior measure of compared to other metrics.

A number of case studies using data about disasters that had significant economic consequences were undertaken by the researchers, and these studies looked at the investment advice provided by the Home Budget Management System and whether it actually proved to be accurate.

- In this paper a new Domestic Budget Management System called the Home Budget Management System is proposed

- The Home Budget Management System figures out when it is really important for households to conserve funds and gives them accurate advice about how to do this as well as about safe-harbour investments in a crisis and this makes the home budget’s resilience to unanticipated events like the COVID-19 crisis, stronger.

- For homeowners to be able to insulate themselves from the worst of a crisis, they need to know when a crisis has occurred and how they can conserve funds and what strategies can enable them to achieve this. They also need to know about any safeharbour investment options that might exist at that precise time.

- It was concluded by the researchers that the Home Budget Management System helped build households’ resilience to economic crisis caused by disaster by directing when funds needed to be conserved and predicting how they could be best invested in safeharbour investments at critical moments, accurately.

- We are facing a global climate of increasing risk of disaster and the accompanying risk of economic consequences. The COVID-19 crisis has been a good example of this. We need to build up household resilience to economic disaster

- When to advise homeowners to begin insulating themselves is decided automatically by the Home Budget Management System. The Home Budget Management System undertakes really good and thorough monitoring of real-time data on global disaster occurrence.

- As disasters occur it is useful for households to be able to access accurate information about the risk of the economic fall-out accompanying a given disaster so that that they can make decisions about how to best insulate themselves and build resilience

– Domestic Budget Management Systems can help them do this.

You are testing the claim that having lights on at night increases weight gain (abstract). A sample of 10 mice lived in an environment with bright light on all of the time and 8 mice who lived in an environment with a normal light/dark cycle is given below. Test the claim using a 2% level of significance. Assume the population variances are unequal and that the weight changes are normally distributed. Give answers to 3 decimal places.

Data available at StatKey, choose Mice Wgt Gain-2e data set

What are the correct hypotheses?

H₀: _____

H_{a: ______}

Based on the hypotheses, find the following:

1. Test Statistic = _____ (Hint: difference in means from H_a)

2. p-value = _____

3. The correct decision is to: _____

a) Fail to reject the null hypothesis

b) Reject the claim

c) Reject the null hypothesis

d) Accept the alternative hypothesis

e) Accept the null hypothesis

4. The correct summary would be: _____

a) There is enough evidence to reject the claim.

b) There is enough evidence to support the claim.

c) There is not enough evidence to support the claim.

d) There is not enough evidence to reject the claim that sleeping with lights on can cause weight gain.

The following sentence appears in the abstract of an article describing a new analytical method, involving HPLC and AFS for the determination of arsenic compounds in rice: “The method was applied to a market basket of rice samples.” What would you expect to find in the Results and Discussion section of the article to support this statement?

a. A table showing the results of the analysis of several rice samples purchase at a local supermarket.

b. The results of experiments in which known amounts of different arsenic compounds were added to rice samples, which were then analyzed.

c. The results of several different methods that were evaluated for the extraction of the arsenic compounds into solution.

d. A table showing the results of the analysis of some certified reference materials that were in not significantly different from the values on the certificate.

e. Several figures showing the chromatograms obtained when some certified reference materials were analyzed by HPLC.
