A plant produces 500 units/hour of an item with dimensions of 4” x 6” x 2”. The manager wants to store two weeks of supply in co

ntainers that measure 3 ft x 4 ft x 2 ft. (Note: She can store the units in the containers such as that the 4” dimension aligns with either the 3 ft width or the 4 ft length of the box, whichever allows more units to be stored.) A minimum of 2 inches of space is required between adjacent units in each direction. If the containers must be stacked 4-high, and the warehouse ceiling is 9 feet above the floor, then determine the amount of floor space required just for storage.

Answer:

  564 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

To account for the extra space between units, we can add 2" to every unit dimension and every box dimension to figure the number of units per box.

Doing that, we find the storage box dimensions (for calculating contents) to be ...

  3 ft 2 in × 4 ft 2 in × 2 ft 2 in = 38 in × 50 in × 26 in

and the unit dimensions to be ...

  (4+2)" = 6" × (6+2)" = 8" × (2+2)" = 4"

A spreadsheet can help with the arithmetic to figure how many units will fit in the box in the different ways they can be arranged. (See attached)

When we say the "packing" is "462", we mean the 4" (first) dimension of the unit is aligned with the 3' (first) dimension of the storage box; the 6" (second) dimension of the unit is aligned with the 4' (second) dimension of the storage box; and the 2" (third) dimension of the unit is aligned with the 2' (third) dimension of the storage box. The "packing" numbers identify the unit dimensions, and their order identifies the corresponding dimension of the storage box.

We can see that three of the four allowed packings result in 216 units being stored in a storage box.

If storage boxes are stacked 4 deep in a 9' space, the 2' dimension must be the vertical dimension, and the floor area of each stack of 4 boxes is 3' × 4' = 12 ft². There are 216×4 = 864 units stored in each 12 ft² area.

If we assume that 2 weeks of production are 80 hours of production, then we need to store 80×500 = 40,000 units. At 864 units per 12 ft² of floor space, we need ceiling(40,000/864) = 47 spaces on the floor for storage boxes. That is ...

  47 × 12 ft² = 564 ft²

of warehouse floor space required for storage.

Answer:

y = 43, z = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

congruent essentially means they're the same. If you mentally map one triangle onto the other, you'll see that 43, the hypotenuse, lines up with y, and 16 lines up with z.

Suppose the waiting times in an emergency room are normally distributed with a mean (mean) of 40 and a standard deviation (sigma
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

0.68269

Step-by-step explanation:

When we are to find the z score for population where a random sample is picked, the z.score formula we use is

z = (x-μ)/Standard error, where

x is the raw score,

μ is the population mean

Standard error = σ/√n

σ is the population standard deviation

n = random number of samples

For : x = 38 minutes, μ = 40, σ = 10, n = 5

z = 38 - 40/10 /√25

= -2/10/5

= -2/2

= -1

Determining the probability value using z table

P(x = 38) = P(z = -1)

= 0.15866

For : x = 42 minutes, μ = 40, σ = 10, n = 25

z = 42 - 40/10 /√25

= 2/10/5

= 2/2

= 1

Determining the probability value using z table

P(x = 42) = P(z = 1)

= 0.84134

The probability that their average waiting time will be between 38 and 42 minutes is calculated as

P(-Z<x<Z)

= P(-1 < x < 1)

= P(z = 1) - P(z = -1)

= 0.84134 - 0.15866

= 0.68269

Therefore, the probability that their average waiting time will be between 38 and 42 minutes is 0.68269
