Wally’s Widget Warehouse takes orders from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. The manager wants to analyze the process and has provided the following process flow diagram. There are three steps required to ship a customer order. The first step is to take the order from a customer. The second step is to pick the order for the customer, and then they have to pack the order to ready it for shipping. Wally promises that every order placed today gets shipped tomorrow. That means the picking and packing operations must finish all orders before they go home.
Wally wants to figure out the following:
What is the current maximum output of the process assuming that no one works overtime?
How long will the picking and packing operations have to work if we have a day where the order taker works at his maximum capacity?
Given b, what is the maximum number of orders waiting to be picked?
Given b, what is the maximum number of orders waiting to be packed?
If we double the packing capacity (from 60 to 120 orders per hour), what impact does this have on your answers in parts (b), (c), and (d)?
Please show work!

The Model View Controller (MVC) and Tier architecture are two of the most widely used web design architectures currently in use.
a. Explain both concepts to a team of research who want you to build a website and publish their work.
b. Make a case by thoroughly explaining why one of the architectures in ‘a’ should be chosen over the other.
c. Brief the researchers on the dangers of using the internet and the necessary steps that you would put in place to curtail such dangers.

The inversion of compound B is experimentally determined to
follow the rate law: d[B]/dt =
-k[B]a[H+]b.
At 25 °C and a constant pH of 3.00, the reaction proceeds with a
constant half-life of 40.0 min. At this same temperature, but at a
constant pH of 1.00, the half-life is constant at 4.00 min. What
are the exponents (orders) a and b in the above rate law?

A helium balloon ride lifts up passengers in a basket. Assume the density of air is 1.28 kg/m3 and the density of helium in the balloon is 0.18 kg/m3. The radius of the balloon (when filled) is R = 5.4 m. The total mass of the empty balloon and basket is mb = 121 kg and the total volume is Vb = 0.062 m3. Assume the average person that gets into the balloon has a mass mp = 72 kg and volume Vp = 0.079 m3.
volume of helium in the balloon when fully inflated? :660
magnitude of the force of gravity on the entire system (but with no people)? Include the mass of the balloon, basket, and helium. : 2352
buoyant force on the entire system (but with no people)? Include the volume of the balloon, basket, and helium. :8287
1)What is the magnitude of the force of gravity on each person?
2)What is the magnitude of the buoyant force on each person?
3)How many FULL people can the balloon lift up? (Your answer must be an integer.)

1.The four basic Marketing Mix includes “Product”, “Price”, “Place” and “Promotion”. Service marketing scholars argue that these traditional four Ps are not sufficient for service products to be successful in the market. In addition to four Ps, they identified three additional components, creating seven Ps. Explain seven Ps.
2.Choose a specific service product you are familiar with (e.g., Starbuck’s) and identify its core product and supplementary services.
3. After a service failure, companies consider compensation as part of their service recovery strategies. Discuss the general guideline for compensation.

Evidence suggesting the prosecutors use their peremptory challenges to preserve all-white juries in cases involving African-American or Hispanic defendants has led some commentators to call for the elimination of the peremptory challenge. a) What do you think is the strongest argument in favor of eliminating the peremptory challenge? b) In favor of retaining it?

The title of the course is ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND EXPERT SYSTEMS I. All answers should be based on that. Please do not copy and paste answers on chegg or on google for me. All answers should be based on your understanding on the course. Please try as much to answer the questions based on what is asked and not setting your own questions and answering them. Let it be if you want to copy and paste answers.

(a) AI concentrates on developing systems which enables the
computer to
perform human-like activities through 'reasoning' based on
programmed rules. Explain how this ‘reasoning’ is factored in
developing simple expert system for medical diagnosis that is
based
on interview and for suggesting a list of ten common drugs.
(b) The subject area of expert (knowledge based) systems is a
branch
of artificial intelligence (AI); which in turn is a branch of
computer
science that attempts to understand the nature of intelligence
and
produce new classes of intelligent machines. Considering the fields
of
engineering or business, demonstrate with five (5) practical
diagrams
and explain how they represent new classes of
intelligence.
(c) As compared to humans, computers can process more
information at a
faster rate. For instance, if the human mind can solve a
mathematics
problem in 5 minutes, AI can solve 10 problems in less than a
minute.
What could be the reasons, if rather; a computer solves 5
mathematics
problems in a minute whiles human solves 10 problems in 5
minutes.
NOTE: There is already an answer here and I'm not satisfied with it so don't copy and paste it to me again or else will have no option than discredit you.

Boxer Company plans to sell 500,000 units of finished product in
July 20x1. Management (1) anticipates a growth rate in sales of 10%
per month thereafter and (2) desires a monthly ending
finished-goods inventory (in units) of 80% of the following month's
estimated sales. There are 400,000 completed units in the June 30,
20x1 inventory.
Each unit of finished product requires four pounds of direct
material at a cost of $1.90 per pound. There are 2,000,000 pounds
of direct material in inventory on June 30, 20x1.
Required:
Prepare a production budget for the quarter ended September 30,
20x1. Note: For both part "A" and part "B" of this problem, prepare
your budget on a quarterly (not monthly) basis. Independent of your
answer to part "A," assume that Boxer plans to produce 1,280,000
units of finished product for the quarter ended September 30. If
the firm desires to stock direct materials at the end of this
period equal to 25% of current production usage, compute the cost
of direct material purchases for the quarter.
Prepare a production budget for the quarter ended September 30, 20x1. Note: Prepare your budget on a quarterly (not monthly) basis.
