Bottling Company Case Study

/in /by

Imagine you are a manager at a major bottling company. Customers have begun to complain that the bottles of the brand of soda produced in your company contain less than the advertised sixteen (16) ounces of product. Your boss wants to solve the problem at hand and has asked you to investigate. You have your employees pull thirty (30) bottles off the line at random from all the shifts at the bottling plant. You ask your employees to measure the amount of soda there is in each bottle. Note: Use the data set provided by your instructor to complete this assignment.

Homework #6

Use the following scenario to answer the next 3 questions.  Plastic bags used for packaging produce are manufactured so that the breaking strength of the bag is normally distributed with a mean of 5 pounds per square inch and a standard deviation of 1.5 pounds per square inch.   A sample of 25 bags is selected. So we have that the breaking strength of the bags is normal with µ=5 lbs/in2 and σ = 1.5 lbs/in2.   Also, n = 25.

1)         What is the probability that the average breaking strength is between 5 and 5.5 pounds per square inch?

 

 

 

 

2)         What is the probability that the average breaking strength is between 4.2 and 4.5 pounds per square inch?

 

 

 

 

 

3)         What is the probability that the average breaking strength is less than 4.6 pounds per square inch?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Use the following scenario to answer the next 3 questions.  Historically, 93% of the deliveries of an overnight mail service arrive before 10:30 the following morning.   Random samples of 500 deliveries are selected.  So we have a “historic” (read: population) proportion of p = .93.

Also, n = 500.

 

4)         What proportion of the samples will have between 93% and 95% of the deliveries arriving before 10:30 the following morning?

 

 

 

 

5)         What proportion of the samples will have more than 95% of the deliveries arriving before 10:30 the following morning?

Describe the types of things that inspire you to creativity.
    • Describe two (2) color paintings by different artists (selected from the list or sources in the Explore section below) that you believe represent the following quote by Kandinsky on the subject of color in art. Justify your response. From Concerning the Spiritual in Art: “If you let your eye stray over a palette of colors, you experience two things. In the first place you receive a purely physical effect, namely the eye itself is enchanted by the beauty and other qualities of color. […] These are physical sensations, limited in duration. They are superficial, too, and leave no lasting impression behind if the soul remains closed. And so we come to the second result of looking at colors: their psychological effect. They produce a correspondent spiritual vibration, and it is only as a step towards this spiritual vibration that the physical impression is of importance. … Generally speaking, color directly influences the soul.” – Wassily Kandinsky. Discuss these ideas for the use of color and its impact in our own times, such as its effect for advertising and sales, or its impact in the workplace and home.

2. As a result of a recently passed bill, a congressman’s district has been allocated $4 million for programs and projects. It is up to the congressman to decide how to distribute the money. The congressman has decided to allocate the money to four ongoing programs because of their importance to his district – a job training program, a parks project, a sanitation project, and a mobile library. However, the congressman wants to distribute the money in a manner that will please the most voters, or, in other words, gain him the most votes in the upcoming election. His staff’s estimates of the number of votes gained per dollar spent for the various programs are as follows.

In order also to satisfy several local influential citizens who financed his election, he is obligated to observe the following guidelines:

Program

MAT540 Homework Week 8 Page 2 of 4

  •   None of the programs can receive more than 40% of the total allocation.

  •   The amount allocated to parks cannot exceed the total allocated to both the

    sanitation project and the mobile library

  •   The amount allocated to job training must at least equal the amount spent on the

    sanitation project.

    Any money not spent in the district will be returned to the government; therefore, the congressman wants to spend it all. The congressman wants to know the amount to allocate to each program to maximize his votes.

SAMPLING

DATE:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

            From the above analysis, the several conclusion can be reached and also several observation. It is clear that after sampling we were able to get the entire time. After this, we were able to get the quintile range, median. This includes the upper and the lower quintile range that is Q1 and Q3. With this arrangement, we can be able to arrange the entire field and how the game is organized where most of the players are concentrated at the center of the field. This is turn to be one of the importance of sampling.
            The data was able to give us a precise arrangement of how the field will look like. Sampling is used to make a code that will be employed in a computer or a phone as a football game. Without sampling, it can de hand to get those games operate. The sampling helps us to get the most relevant summary of the entire data. The minimum and the maximum value that turn to be 175 and 300 respectively, the lower quintile and the upper quintile that was 196.25 and 238.75 respectively. We were also able to get the median that was 217.50.      
            When a box-whisker of the samples was plotted, it turns to be a perfect shape of the football field is. The box and whisker plot deals with maximum and minimum values, shows the lower and the upper quartiles and is also based on the median. The sampling is one of the most important aspects of probability and statistic. It makes information and data to have to mean. It helps to come up with meaningful information.  
            We use excel to calculate a sample mean that was 220.6 pounds and the sample standard deviation was 33.84 pounds. The sample saves us the struggle of getting the entire population mean. It saves our time, and it is the best way to estimate the population mean and standard deviation of the data. The actual population means and the standard deviation were calculated as 214.6 pounds and 42.2 respectively. This indicates that the sample of statistic fairly represent the whole population hence can be used to make conclusions on behalf of the entire population.  
            The sample mean and the standard deviation were used to come up with the Empirical Rule graph. The Empirical Rule graph helps to get the skewness of the data alkalized. The rule is also applied in the distribution for normality test. The size of the deviations is computed in the form of standard deviation and compared to the expected frequency. In our case, we had a normal skewed graph. This means that the data follow the empirical rule and that the data can be used for further analysis.    
            In conclusion, it is found that data sampling is imperative in coming up with a varied determination and data analysis. We realized that in most cases a sample of data usually represents the entire population. It is important to put in mind that when taking samples we must be very careful to take only the correct data from the entire population. This helps not to transfer errors from the primary data to analysis. The sample if well corrected in most cases it represent the population. It is important to put in mind that once a sample one end up getting the wrong analyzed data that read to the bad conclusion.

Assignment 1. Linear Programming Case Study

Your instructor will assign a linear programming project for this assignment according to the following specifications.

It will be a problem with at least three (3) constraints and at least two (2) decision variables. The problem will be bounded and feasible. It will also have a single optimum solution (in other words, it won’t have alternate optimal solutions). The problem will also include a component that involves sensitivity analysis and the use of the shadow price.

You will be turning in two (2) deliverables, a short writeup of the project and the spreadsheet showing your work.

Writeup.

Your writeup should introduce your solution to the project by describing the problem. Correctly identify what type of problem this is. For example, you should note if the problem is a maximization or minimization problem, as well as identify the resources that constrain the solution. Identify each variable and explain the criteria involved in setting up the model. This should be encapsulated in one (1) or two (2) succinct paragraphs.

After the introductory paragraph, write out the L.P. model for the problem. Include the objective function and all constraints, including any non-negativity constraints. Then, you should present the optimal solution, based on your work in Excel. Explain what the results mean.

Finally, write a paragraph addressing the part of the problem pertaining to sensitivity analysis and shadow price.

Excel.

As previously noted, please set up your problem in Excel and find the solution using Solver. Clearly label the cells in your spreadsheet. You will turn in the entire spreadsheet, showing the setup of the model, and the results.
