How was the film different or the same as what you imagined from the script? The people who made the film did not change the script. They only put their interpretation of what was on the page into action and visuals. Did it look as you expected, and what was the same or different?

1. A certain component for the newly developed electronic diesel engine is considered to be defective if its diameter is less than 8 mm or greater than 10.5 mm. The distributions of the diameters of these parts is known to be normal with a mean of 9.0 mm and a standard deviation of 1.5 mm. If a component is randomly selected, what is the probability that it will be defective?

2. A farmer believes that the yields of his tomato plants have a normal distribution with an average yield of 10 lbs. and a standard deviation of 2 lbs. The farmer would like to identify the plants which yield the highest 5% and save them for breeding purposes. Calculate the yield which separates the highest 5% of yields from the lowest 95% of yields.

3. The number of hours before a battery must be replaced in Wellbuilt watches is normally distributed with a mean of 1,900 hours and a standard deviation of 145 hours. What proportion of watch batteries fail before 1,600 hours? Suppose that during the next six months, more than 50% fail before 1,600 hours. From a problem-sensing perspective, what might you conclude? Explain.

4. Canine Crunchies Inc. (CCI) sells large bags of dog food to warehouse clubs. CCI uses an automatic filling process to fill bags. The weights of the filed bags are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 50 kilograms and a standard deviation of 1.25 kilograms.
a. What is the probability that a filled bag will weigh less than 49.5 kilograms?
b. What is the probability that a randomly sampled filled bag will weigh between 48.5 and 51 kilograms?
c. What is the minimum weight a bag of dog food could be and remain in the top 15% (by weight) of all the bags filled?

5. An Internet retailer stocks a popular electronic toy at a central warehouse that supplies the eastern United States. Every week the retailer makes a decision about how many units of the toy to stock. Suppose that the weekly demand for the toy is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 2,500 units and a standard deviation of 300 units.
a. If the retailer wants to limit the probability of being out of stock of the electronic toy to no more than 2.5% in a week, how many units should the central warehouse stock?
b. If the retailer has 2,750 units on hand at the start of the week, what is the probability that weekly demand will be greater than inventory?
c. If the standard deviation of weekly demand for the toy increases from 300 units to 500 units, how many more toys would have to be stocked to ensure that the probability of weekly demand exceeding inventory is no more than 2.5%?

Questions?
If something is not clear, ask for clarification by emailing me (I am available to help you learn). Do not answer the wrong question (and commit a type III error) and get penalized on the grade.

Problem Suggestion
Not specifying your answer clearly (and require the instructor to fish for the answer) Clearly mark your answer as “Answer.”
Not addressing all the requirements Read and follow all instructions. Create a checklist for your use to insure your report meets/addresses all requirements.
Not including a graph for each problem part Include Minitab graphs
Not separately stating your answer State the answer to each part in mathematical terms and with a business conclusion, Follow the in-class and practice sets as examples.
Stating the answer/probability for the wrong end of the curve It is easy to mix up the ends and have an answer that is 1-the correct answer. At the end when you state your answer, make sure it makes logical sense. For example, if the mean on the test is 85 and you are asked for the score of the top 5%, an answer could be 95 – an answer of 75 (the bottom 5%) would not make sense.

Address the following prompt in your post:
Assume the Supreme Court is ruling on the issue of whether Uber drivers are employees or independent contractors (assume there is no state law at issue like in California). Based on the law and the IRS 20 Factor Analysis (posted on Blackboard), how do you think the court would rule? Use thorough analysis, apply at least three IRS factors and use citations as explained above.

For this assessment, use the following case scenario:

You are a new nurse executive at a community-based hospital system in the southeastern region of the United States. The system is not-for-profit and serves five rural counties. The system comprises one flagship hospital, three smaller critical access hospitals, and a number of clinics and urgent care centers. The health care system serves a diverse population of insured, Medicare, Medicaid, and uninsured patients. The hospital is Joint Commission accredited and for three years in a row has been rated as a Top 100 Hospital.

Historically, the hospital system has been physician-centric, meaning that the physician staff have had the power to influence change, policy, and protocol. The current chief executive officer (CEO) was recently hired from a large university-affiliated hospital system. The chief medical officer (CMO) started the organization’s orthopedic program (one of the most lucrative service lines) and has been with the organization for more than 25 years. He is well respected in the local community and serves on a number of community boards. In light of this strong influence from the department of medicine, nursing has struggled over the past five years. You are the second chief nursing officer (CNO) in four years. The hospital board is applying pressure to seek Magnet designation, which was recently lost due to poor leadership by your predecessor.

The hospital has recently adopted the hospitalist model to cover all in-patients. The hospitalist group was developed by physician leaders in the organization and operates as a separate department within the organization. The hospitalist group desires to become a limited liability corporation (LLC) to maximize benefit offerings but needs a larger staff to make this happen. They have presented a proposal to executive leadership to transfer all advance practice registered nurses (APRNs) working in the organization (there are more than 50) to the hospitalist group, which is housed under the department of medicine. The CMO is spearheading this initiative. Traditionally, ARPNs were hired and managed by the department of nursing.

As the new CNO, you have been approached by a group of 15 APRNs who are against the transition as it will severely impact their scope of practice, in addition to affecting their paid time off, salary, and work hours. The CMO has offered to make APRNs eligible for the annual physician hospitalist bonus structure, as an incentive. At the same time, the CMO has informally proposed that a new policy be created for APRN hospital privileges. If the APRNs choose not to join the hospitalist group, they will not be eligible for hospital privileges. In the state in which the organization is located, a supervising physician is required for APRN practice.
