Answer:

The appropriate answer will be "289 boxes".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Cost

= $6

Sales price

= $18

Salvage price

= $3.60

Average daily demand (d)

= 254 boxes

Standard deviation (\sigma d)

= 37 boxes

Now,

Overage of cost will be:

⇒  Co=Cost-Salvage \ price

          = 6-3.60

          =2.4 ($)

Underage of cost will be:

⇒  Cu=Price-cost

          =18-6

          =12 ($)

⇒  Service Level = \frac{Cu}{Cu+Co}

On substituting the given values in the above formula, we get

                            = \frac{12}{12+2.4}

                            = 0.83 \ i.e.,\ 83 \ Percent

The service level value of Z at 83% is = 0.954

⇒  Order quantity = d+(Z\times \sigma d)

                               = 254+(0.954\times 37)

                               = 289.298 \ OR \ 289 \ boxes

saul85 [17]

Answer:

defensive listening

Explanation:

Defensive listening happens when an individual hears an apparently innocent commentary and takes it as a personal attack against himself/herself or their beliefs. Many times defense listening is caused because the individual constantly believes that other people are judging them or their ideas.

In this case, Corrine was offended by a commentary that was not intended to be a personal attack, but rather an opinion on a specific topic. Probably Corrine feels strongly against the idea of full-day kindergarten and that is why she felt attacked by a different opinion.

If you deposit $100 of currency into a demand deposit at a bank, this action by itself
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

A) Does not change the money supply.

Explanation:

Demand deposits change the monetary base, because the monetary base equals currency plus demand deposits.

However, in itself, a demand deposit does not change the money supply. For the change in the money supply to occur, the bank must loan out some of the money in the deposit.

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

B). Response bias

D). The interviewer should reword the question.

Explanation:

Response bias is described as the type of bias in which a variety of tendencies are displayed by the respondents to answer the questions asked in the survey inaccurately or misleadingly. These false responses eventually lead to a false or deceiving conclusion. In the given survey, 'response bias' is displayed as the respondents may display a tendency to answer the question falsely as the feeling of 'patriotism' evoked by the word 'patriotic' may prevent their original opinions to come out. Thus, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer to describe the bias in this survey.

In order to prevent this bias, the interviewer must 'reword the question' and remove the word 'patriotic' as it develops the feeling of patriotism in the respondents which mars them from answering accurately and share their true opinions or thoughts in the regards of 'supporting armed forces.' This rewording will help evoke the true and authentic responses without any bias. Thus, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer to remedy the bias.
