Last year,a comprehensive report stated that 27% of businesses in northeast of Ohio were considered highly profitable. This year, based on a sample of 46 business owners, a survey your team conducted indicated that 23 businesses were highly profitable. Would you conclude that the proportion of businesses that are highly profitable increased or decreased from last year with a statistical significance? Use a statistical hypothesis test to determine this, using a 1% significance level. (Note from the Instructor - Think about this concept for your studying purposes) For you answer in this problem - give the calculated test statistic you would come up with in step 5 of the hypothesis testing process. Give answer to 3 decimal places.

The COVID-19 pandemic, which hit Sri Lanka on 27 January 2020
with the first
case, and as at 21 st May 2020 reached 1,045 confirmed cases and
have reported 9
deaths. The country has been undergoing a long lock-down period of
more than 50
days, bringing most of the business to a standstill over a period
of 2 months. The
pandemic has brought in many changes, and along with that
challenges to the
organization, both economical as well as managerial.
Identify a public quoted company or a private organization, which
employs more than
100 staff in Sri Lanka and is undergoing difficulties due to the
COVID-19 pandemic.
Critically analyze the challenges the organization has at hand in
handling its
workforce.
As an organization development professional, what would be the
recommendation
and solution you would suggest to improve or resolve the current
challenges related
to the workforce.
Critically evaluate,
1. The challenges and issues the organization faces
2. The applicability of theories in analyzing the situation and
challenges
3. The recommendations and how it would help to overcome the
challenges and
issues.

Problem 14-27 (Algorithmic) A perishable dairy product is ordered daily at a particular supermarket. The product, which costs $1.2 per unit, sells for $1.64 per unit. If units are unsold at the end of the day, the supplier takes them back at a rebate of $1 per unit. Assume that daily demand is approximately normally distributed with µ = 145 and ? = 30. What is your recommended daily order quantity for the supermarket? If required, round your answer to two decimal places. Q* = What is the probability that the supermarket will sell all the units it orders? If required, round your answer to four decimal places. P(Stockout) = In problems such as these, why would the supplier offer a rebate as high as $$1? For example, why not offer a nominal rebate of, say, 25¢ per unit? What happens to the supermarket order quantity as the rebate is reduced? The higher rebate the quantity that the supermarket should order.

Last week, 108 cars received parking violations in the green parking lot. Of these, 27 had unpaid parking tickets from a previous violation. Assuming that last week was a random sample of all parking violators, find the width of the 90 percent confidence interval for the percentage (correct to four decimal places) of parking violators that have prior unpaid parking tickets.

A spring loaded piston cylinder contains 1.5 kg of air
at 27°C and 160 kPa. It is
now heated in a process where pressure is linear in volume, P = A +
BV, to twice the
initial volume where it reaches 900 K. Find the work, the heat
transfer and the total
entropy generation assuming a source at 900 K. Is this a possible
process?
