Drying times for newly painted microwave oven cabinets are normally distributed with a mean of 2.5 minutes and a standard deviat
Marina86 [1]

Answer: 3.22

Explanation:

Given that;

mean = 2.5 min

standard deviation = 0.25 min

now to get the value of X required, we say

z = (x - u) / a

where z is the distance from the mean measured in the standard deviation units, x is the value we are interested in, u is the mean distribution, a is the standard deviation of the distribution.

the time delay should be just enough to allow 99.8% of the cabinets to dry completely = 99.8/100 = 0.9980

first we determine an appropriate z value.

Using the standardized normal tables,

value of z for approximately 0.9980 is 2.88

so using our initial equation z = (x - u) / a

we substitute the value

z = (x - u) / a

2.88 = ( x - 2.5) / 0.25

2.88 * 0.25 = x - 2.5

0.72 = x - 2.5

x = 0.72 + 2.5

x = 3.22

Answer:

Inventory Turnover Ratio for 2008=  3.223 Times

Inventory Turnover Ratio for 2009= 3.91 times

Explanation:

Inventory Turnover Ratio=  Cost of Goods Sold / Average Inventories

Inventory Turnover Ratio for 2008=  $632,000/ $201,000 + 191,100/2

Inventory Turnover Ratio for 2008=  $632,000/196,050

Inventory Turnover Ratio for 2008=  3.223  times

Inventory Turnover Ratio for 2009=  $ 731,000/191,100 + 182,600/2

Inventory Turnover Ratio for 2009=  $ 731,000/ 186,850

Inventory Turnover Ratio for 2009= 3.91 times

Which of the following is NOT a valid condition for denying a patent application?Select one:
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

The answer is a. The "invention" sought to be patented is actually a living creature.

Explanation:

That is the answer. Because by the law, you actually "CAN" patent a living creature or an organism that you invented and that does not exist naturally.

So, a patent application CAN NOT be denied on the grounds that the invention is a living thing.

However, if a plant or any organism exists in nature and has reproduced, then it cannot be patented. Because then it has become a natural occurrence. This is a stern limitation and a criteria put on patents for living organisms.

Patenting living organism such as anti bacteria and bacteria is common in pharmaceutical industry while patenting unique seed types are common in agricultural sector.
