Independent random samples of professional football and basketball players gave the following information. Assume that the weight distributions are mound-shaped and symmetric.

Weights (in lb) of pro football players: x₁; n₁ = 21

Weights (in lb) of pro basketball players: x₂; n₂ = 19

(a) Use a calculator with mean and standard deviation keys to calculate x₁, s₁, x₂, and s₂. (Round your answers to one decimal place.)

(b) Let μ₁ be the population mean for x₁ and let μ₂ be the population mean for x₂. Find a 99% confidence interval for μ₁ − μ₂. (Round your answers to one decimal place.)

(c) Examine the confidence interval and explain what it means in the context of this problem. Does the interval consist of numbers that are all positive? all negative? of different signs? At the 99% level of confidence, do professional football players tend to have a higher population mean weight than professional basketball players?

Because the interval contains only negative numbers, we can say that professional football players have a lower mean weight than professional basketball players.Because the interval contains both positive and negative numbers, we cannot say that professional football players have a higher mean weight than professional basketball players.    Because the interval contains only positive numbers, we can say that professional football players have a higher mean weight than professional basketball players.

(d) Which distribution did you use? Why?

The standard normal distribution was used because σ₁ and σ₂ are known.The standard normal distribution was used because σ₁ and σ₂ are unknown.    The Student's t-distribution was used because σ₁ and σ₂ are unknown.The Student's t-distribution was used because σ₁ and σ₂ are known.

The production department of Zan Corporation has submitted the following forecast of units to be produced by quarter for the upcoming fiscal year:

In addition, 6,000 grams of raw materials inventory is on hand at the start of the 1st Quarter and the beginning accounts payable for the 1st Quarter is $2,880.

Each unit requires 8 grams of raw material that costs $1.20 per gram. Management desires to end each quarter with an inventory of raw materials equal to 25% of the following quarter’s production needs. The desired ending inventory for the 4th Quarter is 8,000 grams. Management plans to pay for 60% of raw material purchases in the quarter acquired and 40% in the following quarter. Each unit requires 0.20 direct labor-hours and direct laborers are paid $11.50 per hour.

Required:

1.&2. Calculate the estimated grams of raw material that need to be purchased and the cost of raw material purchases for each quarter and for the year as a whole.

3. Calculate the expected cash disbursements for purchases of materials for each quarter and for the year as a whole.

4. Calculate the estimated direct labor cost for each quarter and for the year as a whole. Assume that the direct labor workforce is adjusted each quarter to match the number of hours required to produce the estimated number of units produced.

Ikea is a values-driven company with a passion for life at home. According to them every product they create is their idea for making home a better place. At the IKEA, they have 389 stores worldwide. Their vision is “To create a better everyday life for many people”. Their business idea is “to offer a wide range of well-designed, functional home furnishing products at prices so low that as many people as possible will be able to afford them”.

Q. Identify 2-3user interface requirements of IKEA.

3. External Interface Requirements
3.1 User Interfaces
<Describe the logical characteristics of each interface between the software product and the users. This may include sample screen images, any GUI standards or product family style guides that are to be followed, screen layout constraints, standard buttons and functions (e.g., help) that will appear on every screen, keyboard shortcuts, error message display standards, and so on. Define the software components for which a user interface is needed. Details of the user interface design should be documented in a separate user interface specification.>
3.2 Hardware Interfaces
<Describe the logical and physical characteristics of each interface between the software product and the hardware components of the system. This may include the supported device types, the nature of the data and control interactions between the software and the hardware, and communication protocols to be used.>
3.3 Software Interfaces
<Describe the connections between this product and other specific software components (name and version), including databases, operating systems, tools, libraries, and integrated commercial components. Identify the data items or messages coming into the system and going out and describe the purpose of each. Describe the services needed and the nature of communications. Refer to documents that describe detailed application programming interface protocols. Identify data that will be shared across software components. If the data sharing mechanism must be implemented in a specific way (for example, use of a global data area in a multitasking operating system), specify this as an implementation constraint.>
3.4 Communications Interfaces
<Describe the requirements associated with any communications functions required by this product, including e-mail, web browser, network server communications protocols, electronic forms, and so on. Define any pertinent message formatting. Identify any communication standards that will be used, such as FTP or HTTP. Specify any communication security or encryption issues, data transfer rates, and synchronization mechanisms.>

A student in our class is confused about the motion of pulses on a long taut spring and has scored zeros on many of the homework problems. Pick two ideas that you think are critical for understanding this topic. State them clearly and describe how you would help your fellow student make sense of these ideas. Note: This is an essay question. Your answer will be judged not solely on its correctness, but for its depth, coherence, and clarity.

A machine costing $214,400 with a four-year life and an estimated $18,000 salvage value is installed in Luther Company’s factory on January 1. The factory manager estimates the machine will produce 491,000 units of product during its life. It actually produces the following units: 122,100 in 1st year, 123,200 in 2nd year, 120,600 in 3rd year, 135,100 in 4th year. The total number of units produced by the end of year 4 exceeds the original estimate—this difference was not predicted. (The machine must not be depreciated below its estimated salvage value.)

  
Required:

Compute depreciation for each year (and total depreciation of all years combined) for the machine under each depreciation method. (Round your per unit depreciation to 2 decimal places. Round your answers to the nearest whole dollar.)

Compute depreciation for each year (and total depreciation of all years combined) for the machine under each Straight-line depreciation.

Compute depreciation for each year (and total depreciation of all years combined) for the machine under each Units of production.

• Compute depreciation for each year (and total depreciation of all years combined) for the machine under each Double-declining-balance.

Assess the validity of the following: If true, mark true; if false, explain why the statement is false.  

1. An increase in disposable income decreases the quantity demanded of inferior goods.
2. Constant elasticity demand curves imply that expenditure (or revenue) always stay the same.
3. Marginal Revenue is positive as long as Total Revenue is also positive.
4. If in a model with only two goods the MRS_{X, Y} is constant and greater than the price ratio P_X/P_Y, the consumer buys no X.
5. The law of diminishing returns does not apply if the Total Product of labor were to be linear.
6. If over the relevant range the Price Consumption Curve for good Y is parallel to the y-axis, the demand for good X is perfectly inelastic.
7. In stage I of the production process, Total Product always increases at an increasing rate.

Real Fruit Juice (Raw Data, Software Required):
A 32 ounce can of a popular fruit drink claims to contain 20% real fruit juice. Since this is a 32 ounce can, they are actually claiming that the can contains 6.4 ounces of real fruit juice. The consumer protection agency samples 30 such cans of this fruit drink. The amount of real fruit juice in each can is given in the table below. Test the claim that the mean amount of real fruit juice in all 32 ounce cans is 6.4 ounces. Test this claim at the 0.01 significance level.
