The following data relate the sales figure of the bar in Mark Kaltenbach's small bed- and -breakfast inn in portland, to the number of guest registered that week:
week guests bar sales
1 16 $320
2 12 $265
3 18 $390
4 14 $315
a) the simple linear equation that relates bar sales to the number of guests ( not totime) is (round your response to one decimal place)
Bar sales=[__]+[__]X guest

- Write a program that asks the user for an angle, entered in degrees. The program should then display the sine, cosine, and tangent of the angle. (Use the sin, cos, and tan library functions to determine these values.) You must convert the angle into radians (angle * 3.14/180)arrow_forwardPatxiko just opened his website, where he sells his Patxaran online. His websites gatheres all kinds of data from customers navigation (time spent on each page, how long the customer has products in his cart before purchasing, what he purchased, etc). He is trying to optimize the website to increase the probability of a purchase. First, he wants to predict whether a customer will purchase or not. What model would you advise him to use? Suggest two methods and explain how one of them works.arrow_forwardConsider the interval of random numbers presented below. The following random numbers have been generated: 99, 98, 26, 09, 49, 52, 33, 89, 21, 37. Simulate 10 hours of arrivals at this gas station. What is the average number of arrivals during this period?arrow_forward

(a) Compute the expected number of arrivals during a service time (also called service period). (b) Compute the probability that no customers arrive during a service period. You may use the trick of computing expectation/probability by conditioning, i.e., “unconditional expectation (or probability) is equal to the expectation of conditional expectation (or probability)”.arrow_forwardThe average time between the arrivals of the taxis arriving at the airport to pick up passengers has an exponential distribution, with an average of 10 minutes. a) What is the probability that a passenger will wait for the taxi less than 15 minutes? b) What is the probability that a passenger will wait for the taxi between 20 and 30 minutes?

- Beeson Co. is experiencing a decrease in sales and operating income for the fiscal year ending December 31st. Julia Faure, controller of Beeson Co., has suggested that all orders received before the end of the fiscal year be shipped by midnight, December 31st even if shipping department must work overtime. Since Beeson Co. ships all merchandise FOB shipping point, it would record all such shipments as sales for the year ending December 31st, thereby offsetting some of the decreases in sales and operating income.Discuss whether Julia Faure is behaving in a professional manner and what are the implications of her actions?arrow_forwardConsider a base case where a customer arrives every 52 seconds and the Customer Service Champion can handle 115 customers per hour. There are two Food Champions, each capable of handling 100 orders per hour. On average, how many cars do you expect to have in the drive-thru line?

The first method predicts the numbers of callers to be 23, 5, 14, and 20 for the four respective days. The second method predicts 20, 13, 14, and 20 for the four respective days. The actual numbers of callers turn out to be 23, 10, 15, and 19. Which method has the smaller mean absolute error (MAE)?

- A manager is simulating the number of times a machine operator stops a machine to make adjustments. After careful study the manager found that the number of stops ranged from one to five per cycle and that each number of stops was equally likely. Using the random numbers 0.17 and 0.47 (in that order), determine how many stops for adjustments each of the next two cycles will have. The first cycle will have stops and the second cycle will have stops.arrow_forwardApplied Linear Algebra System of Equations Matrices Q1: See the attached image for full question and answer the question. Explanation: It's applied linear algebra question. Create equations for every piece of information given in the question(there are 4 equations) then solve it by using gaussian elimination method.
