Answer:

Variable ratio

Explanation:

First, there are two different types of reinforcement:

  • Positive
  • Negative

<u>The positive reinforcement</u> applies a stimulus to increase the frequency of the desirable variable.

<u>The negative reinforcement</u> removes a stimulus to increase the frequency of the desirable variable.

However, the positive reinforcement divides itself in different types:

  • Continuous
  • Partial

A <u>continuous reinforcemen</u>t schedule gives us a reinforcement every time we engaged in the desired conduct.

On the other side, the <u>partial reinforcement schedule</u> doesn't give us a reinforcement every time, but also divides itself in

  • Ratio
  • Interval

And these divide themselves in fixed or variable.

  • The fixed ratio schedule gives a reinforcement after a <u>fixed number </u>of desired responses.
  • The variable ratio schedule gives a reinforcement after a <u>changing number</u> of desired responses.
  • The fixed interval schedule gives a reinforcement after a <u>constant amount of time.</u>
  • The variable interval schedule gives a reinforcement after a <u>variable amount of time.</u>

<u>So, in other words, ratio has to do with number of responses while interval has to do with amount of time. </u>

<u />

In the example, <u>you don't know</u> how many lottery tickets you must buy to get a winning ticket. But technically, <u>if you keep buying, you will get a winner one </u><u>(after an unknown number of attempts)</u>.

Therefore, buying scratch-lottery tickets is a reinforced according to a variable ratio schedule.

Kay [80]

Answer:

To improve the process capacity, which tasks should Emily and Frank be assigned to?

Emily can be assigned to take orders which means that she would be assigned to the 30 seconds tasks

Frank will be assigned to making the coffee which means that the 60 second task will be in Frank's name.

What is the new process capacity and the new bottleneck(s)?

Earlier, it took 1 minute and 30 seconds to get done with one order by one staff member, either Emily or Frank. Now, while emily would be taking the order, Frank would start with the order. It would take a total of 1 minute to complete one entire order.

Work capacity has been increased by 30 seconds if both staff members are assigned a separate task.
