Resources must be used in the production process to produce goods and services. Resources are also called factors of production.

Students Outside US

Students in US:

a) Construct a 5-number summary and boxplot using the variable “hours spent on school work at home” for both groups.

b) Compare the means for both groups to answer the research questions in the first paragraph. Which group has a higher mean GPA? Which group spends more time on their homework? What conclusions can you draw about students who were born in the USA and those who were born outside the USA based on this analysis?

c) Identify any outliers in both groups

Struggling a little bit with one of my homework questions. we are to create an ER digram from the following business rules using UML notation, we are encouraged to uses weak entities, sub classes and ternary relationships. Thank you in advance  

You have just been employed as a database designer in a well-established software development firm. Your first job is to design and implement a database system for an airline booking company. The following information has been gathered after analysing the current practices of the company.

• The system records information about flight bookings by customers.

• Customers are identified by an email address and have a phone number and a name.

• Customers make bookings for specific instances of a flight. The booking has a reference number for easy lookup and records the credit card number and the seat number on the flight. Each customer makes their own booking.

• Each flight has a unique flight code, which identifies the scheduled departure time, departure gate and departure airport of the flight, as well as the scheduled arrival time, arrival gate and arrival airport of the flight.

• Each airport has a unique airport code, and has a city.

• Flights repeat each day, e.g. a flight with the code QF430 is scheduled to depart Melbourne Airport at 9:30am each day from gate 3 and arrive at 10:55am at Sydney Airport at gate 2. Your design should not repeat common information for each daily flight.

• The status of a specific flight (e.g. boarding) will depend on the scheduled date of the specific flight instance.

• The pilot will also vary from flight to flight, but each specific flight has exactly 2 pilots. Pilots have an employee id and a name.

• Similarly, the aircraft used can vary from flight to flight, but each specific flight is on board a specific aircraft.

• Aircrafts have a tail number to identify them and have a specific model.

The Award Plus Company manufactures medals for winners of athletic events and other contests. Its manufacturing plant has the capacity to produce 10,000 medals each month.

Current production and sales are 7,500 medals per month. The company normally charges $150 per medal.

Cost information for the current activity level is as follows:

Variable costs that vary with number of units produced

Award Plus has just received a special one-time-only order for 2,500 medals at $100 per medel.

Accepting the special order would not affect the company's regular business.

Award Plus makes medals for its existing customers in batch sizes of 50 medals (150 batches 50 medals per batch = 7,500 medals). The special order requires Award Plus to make the medals in 25 batches of 100 each.

1. Should Award Plus accept tis special order? Show your calculations.

2. Suppose plant capacity were only 9,000 medals instead of 10,000 medals each month. The special order must either be taken in full or be rejected completely.

Should Award Plus accept the special order? Show your Calculations.

3. As in requirement 1, assume that monthly capacity is 10,000 medals. Award Plus is concerned that if it accepts the special order, its existing customers will immediately demand a price discount of $10 in the month in which the special order is being filled

They would argue that Award Plus's capacity costs are now being spread over more units and that existing customers should get the benefit of these lower costs.

Should Award Plus accept the special order under these conditions? Show your calculations.
