Demand per hour for gasoline at a local station is normally distributed with a mean of 875 gallons and std deviation of 55 gallo
marusya05 [52]

The probability that demand is greater than 1800 gallons over a 2 hour period is : 0.5

<u>Given data :</u>

Mean value of gasoline per hour = 875 gallons

Standard deviation = 55 gallons

<h3>Determine the probability of demand being greater than 1800 gallons over 2 hours </h3>

Demand for gas in 1 hour = X₁

Demand for gas in 2 hours = X₁ + X₂

Therefore ; ( X₁ + X₂) ~ N ( u₁+u₂, sd₁² + sd₂² )

In order to  calculate probabilities for normals apply the equation below

Z = ( X- u ) / sd

where : u = 1800, sd = √ ( 55² + 55² ) = 77.78

using the z-table

P( Y > 1800) = P( Z > ( 1800 - 1800 ) / 77.78)

                    = P( Z>0 ) = 0.5

Hence we can conclude that The probability that demand is greater than 1800 gallons over a 2 hour period is : 0.5.

The returns of a capital amount to a compensation rate for depositing the money, to calculate these returns an interest rate is used by which the deposited capital is multiplied, in this case the rate is 4%.

As the money distributed is only the product of interest, then that money is the result of multiplying the capital by the interest rate, to obtain how much money Mr. Jefferson contributed, the reverse process will have to be done.

Answers

let <em>C</em> be the capital, then :

C\times4 \%  = 170500\\C\times\frac{4}{100}= 170500\\C=170500\times\frac{100}{4}\\C=4262500

The capital contributed by Mr. Jefferson was <em>$4,262,500</em>

In 2007, Gillette saw an opportunity to capture the market of 500 million Indians who used double edge razors with no protection
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

Gillette in India

The failure of the Vector was caused by the fact that Indian men have longer and thicker hair, which the lack of earlier research in the targeted demographic segment did not discover.

Explanation:

Since Indian men have longer and thicker hair than the local consumers of Gillette's razor products in America, an earlier research would have uncovered the fact.  Thereafter, the discovery would have been incorporated into the design and production of Vector for the Indian market. No wonder, with its Mach 3 Turbo razor, Gillette overcame its initial inertia and handicap and made a success of the razor business in India.

A change in any of these conditions will cause a shift in the supply curve.
