- A company is refurbishing smartphones out of used smartphones. They are able to produce three different quality levels (Gold, Silver, and Bronze). The revenue for selling x, y, and z units of the respective devices can be calculated as R(x, y, z) = 600x + 400y + 300z – x² – y? – 22. In order to refurbish the devices, they need to run through fine-tuned automated machines and have to pass a final quality check, which is done by employees. The required time for these two processes per quality level and the daily available machine and employee working times are displayed in the following table: machine minutes employee minutes Gold 60 Silver 40 Bronze 30 daily available time 800 100 The company wants to maximize the daily profit while using all available resources.

- .A 45 kW rated solar power system has its power output and the Solar irradiance on the PV system measured during daylight hours over a day. Based on the following data, create a scatter plot of the power output of the PV system vs the solar irradiance and comment on the relationship between the two. Based on the data, can you tell which season this day was in?

The more annotated data you can gather, the better your model estimations become towards the unknown variables. A team of data scientists is going to label a new dataset for both future use and the improvement of your current model estimates. They started by recording the amount of time it takes to label one record of data, and found that it took on average 5 minutes for them to do so. They also noted that there is a standard deviation of 5 minutes for the recording time as well. They are allowed to spend 4 hours per day this week (only Monday to Friday) to perform this annotation task. Please find out at most how many records would be labelled by the team in a single week with a probability of at least 97.5%?arrow_forwardModels that have no random input are called iconic models.
