Question 9 B1: Microsoft is planning to introduce a new technology product in the market . To study the diffusion pattern of this technology, Microsoft has decided to use the following set of parameters: Coefficient of innovation (p) =0.05 Coefficient of imitation (q): = 0.1 Based on this information, how long does it take in terms of the number of years (time periods, t) for more than 50% of the potential market to adopt this technology?

Suppose you have to select one project partner from a set of four classmates, who have different GPAs. Assume you do not know any student’s GPA in advance but can get to know it after you have picked a student from that group (a) Suppose you pick one of the four students at random and accept that student as your project partner. What is the probability that your partner is the one with the highest GPA? (b) Suppose you decide to reject the first student and to then accept the next student if and only if that student has a higher GPA. Note that you MUST have a partner, so if the first three are rejected by you, then you have to accept the fourth student. What is the probability that your partner will be the one with the highest GPA.
Jeddah Municipality has decided to build a network of national hospitals to treat infectiousdiseases. A special task force is constituted which is tasked to investigate possible locations forthese new hospitals. The task force has done its job and come back with a list of potential sites.Each of these hospitals has an associated cost and will provide coverage to some number ofnearby districts within Jeddah. We can represent each potential hospital site as having: a name(string), cost to build the hospital (int) and a set of districts to be covered (Set of strings).Jeddah Municipality is interested in providing health care to all, but they do not have funds tobuild an unlimited number of hospitals. The goal is to provide coverage to as many districts aspossible using the available funds. For example, suppose Jeddah Municipality has the followingdistricts:Al-Aziziya, Ar-Rihab, Mosharafa, Al-Faysaliya, Bani Malik, An-Naseem, Al-Balad, Al-Salam, AlMakarona, As-Salmiya, Al-Gozain,…
Consider the following task of building a zoo for Drexel! You've gathered m donors to fund the creation ofyour new park, and you've picked the location, so now you just need to choose the inhabitants. Ideally you'dget every animal imaginable, except you just don't have space. As it is, you have room to comfortably tk animals. Since you'd like to ensure that your funding doesn't dry up, you gure your donors should getto make requests about which animals will be kept. After sending out a few emails, you collect from eachdonor i a list of animals Ai which donor i would like to have at the zoo. As you suspected, the total numberof di erent animals appearing on the m lists exceeds k, so you won't be able to satisfy all of their requests.You decide the fairest thing to do is to ensure that at least 1 animal from each Ai is chosen.Given all these lists, we want to know whether we can select a set H of at most k animals to put in thezoo such that each donor i will be able to see at least one…
A personnel director wishes to compare the effectiveness of two methods of train- ing industrial employees to perform a certain assembly operation. Employees are to be divided into two equal groups: the first receiving training method 1 and the sec- ond training method 2. Each will perform the assembly operation, and the length of assembly time will be recorded. It is expected that the assembly times for both groups will have a range of approximately 8 minutes. For the estimate of the difference in mean times to assemble to be correct to within minute with a probability equal to .95, how many workers must be included in each training group? 16c3d JPG Fi DO
Reviewing the past history of LIH applications, David estimated the probability that the application decision would be delayed beyond 60 days to be 20%. David then estimated that the probability that the outcome of the new proposal is favourable is 70%. Given that the outcome of the new proposal were favourable, David estimate that the probability of the LIH plan to be approved is 75%; if the outcome were unfavourable, the probability of approval is 30%. Finally, David estimated the probability that the property would still be available for purchase after the policy revision (if Real Estate took no action) to be 80%. David next went to work on the financial analysis of the development project. The estimated profit of the new development project under the LIH plan would be $850,000. This value includes the purchase cost of the property, the cost of renovations, annual maintenance costs, annual rental incomes, and applicable tax shelters. If LIH plan approval were not granted for the…

A small engineering consulting firm is establishing a plan for next year. The director and thethree partners need to prioritize the eight projects. The expected profit for each project is givenin the following table together with the number of person-days required to prepare each project.Another measure included is the computing resource measured as the computer processingunit (CPU) time (in hours). You have been tasked to evaluate which projects they ought topursue based on efficiency. Given the sample data below, you plan to construct a dataenvelopment analysis (DEA) model:a. Which measures would you regard as inputs and outputs, respectively? Pleaseprovide your justification.b. Conduct data envelopment analysis, explain what type of DEA model is selectedand describe the project you regard as “efficient” and “inefficient”, respectively.c. Which project would you recommend and why?d. In what ways can you improve on your recommendation? You are free to openlysource for other datasets…
Electronic Spreadsheet Applications Compare What-If Analysis using Trial and Error and Goal Seek to the given scenario: Let's say a student is enrolled in an online class at a learning institution for a semester. His overall average grade stands at 43% in the course (Term Grade is 45%, Midterm Grade is 65%, Class Participation is 62% and Final Exam is 0%). Unfortunately, he missed his Final Exam and was given 0%. However, he has the opportunity to redo his Final Exam and needs at least an overall average of 60% to pass the course. How can you use Trial and Error and Goal Seek to find out what is the lowest grade he needs on the Final Exam to pass the class? Which method worked best for you and why?

Question Statement: Consider following scenario: Suppose ABC Company is providing facility of online shopping to its customers nationwide. In order to buy online, first customer opens the website of this company. After website opens, customer opens category of items in which his/her required item is expected to be available. Now customer finds his required item and before placing order customer has to check whether item is in stock or not. If it is in stock, it will be added to cart. Now when customer will checkout, he/she will enter his personal and shipping details. Here suppose website only provides options of Cash on Delivery and if that amount of selected items is less than 2000 then standard delivery charges will be applied otherwise free delivery will be offered. So, after this step, customer will place order. Now, you are required to perform following steps. (a). Draw Flowchart for above given scenario. (b). Draw an ERD for given scenario showing entities, attributes and…
