    = [13324.2/300]

    = 44.41

    = 6.66

    Therefore, the mean wages of all the workers of the company is Rs. 4095.3 and standard deviation is of Rs. 666.43

    = 182 (54*-11) /51*516-(54)2*51*129-(-11)2]

    = 776/[26316-2916*6579-121]

    = 776/ [152.97*80.36]

    = 776/12292

    = 0.063

    This means that there is negligible positive co-relation between time spent by the salesmen and unit sold by them and it, toa great extent, depends upon the skill of the salesman, used by him in the market, to serve his purpose.

    Advice the company, as to how many labours, from which residential colony to allocate to each project, so that the labourshave to spent the minimum time in travelling. Also calculate the total minimum distance which the labours have to traveldaily.

    This problem can be solved by using five methods. Although, all the methods were tried but the minimum result came outby using the Row Minimum Method. Hence, below is the solution of the problem by the use of Row Minimum Method.

    3*100 + 5*500 + 2*200 + 2*300 + 4*500 + 2*100 + 8*400 + 1*400 = 9600

    Therefore, the total minimum distance, which the labours have to travel daily, is 19200 km.

    Aakash Deep Pvt. Ltd. ordered Rajdeep Ltd. for two consignments to be delivered at its warehouses, situated one in Delhiand another in Bhopal via e-mail. Unfortunately, the order, which was to be delivered at Delhi, was delivered at Bhopal andvice versa. Now Akash Deep has to hire four trucks, in order to get the consignment placed at the right place. It took 2 hoursto unload the truck and 3 hours to load a truck. So there is a limitation that next truck cannot move before 3 hours and the

    truck cannot return back before 5 hours. There is a set schedule of the movement of the trucks between the two places, due to the traffic rules. The trucks cannotmove out of the time table. Below is the time table.

    Therefore, by interpreting this matrix, it is advisable that Aakash Deep should hire three trucks from Bhopal and one fromDelhi.

    The truck from Delhi should leave Delhi at 15:00 hrs and the same should return back from Bhopal at 10:00 hrs nextday. ( 3-102 )

    The first truck from Bhopal should leave Bhopal at 7:00 hrs and the same should return back from Delhi same day at22:00 hrs. ( 101-4 )

    The second truck from Bhopal should leave Bhopal at 16:00 hrs and the same should return back from Delhi next dayat 6:00 hrs. ( 103-1 )

    The last truck from Bhopal should leave Bhopal at 21:00 hrs and the same should return back from Delhi next day at12:00 hrs. ( 104-2 )

    The total waiting time would be 11 + 7 + 6 +7 = 31 hrs.

    Bharat Chemicals Limited has been using the furnaces which can be used to carry out reactions at 1000 0C, since long time

    and has the experience, which can be used to determine the cost of maintenance, which the furnace demands in every year

    after its purchase. Now the company is planning to purchase a new furnace, costing around Rs.9,50,000/- and installation

    charges would cost the company around Rs.50,000/-. The maintenance cost and the salvage value of the furnace after each

    year is tabulated below. Advice the company that when should the company get the furnace replaced.

    Titan India Limited designed a new kind of wrist watch, in which one can see the time as well as the date and month of the

    day as well. Actually, there is pair of watch included in one. One of the watch functions, as any other watch performs, while

    in another watch, the hour hand tells about the month, while the minute hand about the date of the day. Company also

    came up with similar type of table calendar, but that does not consisted of time showing watch in it. Whereas, for the wrist

    watch, the company requires two pairs of hands, the table calendar requires single pair of hands only. The watch requires

    single button cell port installed in it, but as the calendar has installed in itself an extra feature that it glows in the dark,demands two ports of cell. However the company has only 1600 pairs of hands and 1200 button cell ports available with

    them. The glasses, which are required for the wrist watch, are only 800, while the LED bulb required one for each calendar,

    are only 1000 available with the company. If the company earns Rs.2000 profit on the wrist watch whereas the table

    calendar earns a profit of Rs. 1500 for the company, advice the company about the number of wrist watches and calendars,

    that it should manufacture, in order to earn maximum profit.

    With the increase in temperature in the city, frequency of people, visiting the electronics shop for the purchase of Air-

    Conditioners has increased multi-folds. Kunal is also one such visitor, who visited an electronic showroom for the purchase

    of an Air-Conditioner for himself, where various types of Air-Conditioners viz. Split ACs, Window ACs, Slim (Floor standing)

    ACs and Cassette ACs of various companies as per the following matrix were displayed:

    At last, Kunal decided to purchase a Slim AC; but he is confused as to which company he should go for. Calculate the

    probability of his, selecting the Slim AC of O-General for himself.

    P (O-G/Sl) = [P (O-G). P (Sl/O-G)]/[P (C). P (Sl/C) + P (O-G). P (Sl/O-G) + P (H). P (Sl/H) + P (BS). P (Sl/BS) + P (V). P(Sl/V)]

    = [1/5*3/20]/1/5[3/20 + 2/14 + 3/14 + 2/12 + 2/20]

    = [3/20]/ [3/20 + 2/14 + 3/14 + 2/12 + 2/20]

    = [3/20]/ [(63 + 60 + 90 + 70 + 42)/420]

    = [3/20]/ [325/420] = [3]/ [325/21] = 63/325 = .0193846 = 19.38%

    Therefore, there is the probability of 19.38% that Kunal will opt for the Slim AC of O-General.

    Prashant, who was in hurry, purchased 10 packets of food stuffs for the fishes, lying in the aquarium at his place. He missed

    to see that the expiry date stamp was not there on the packets. He served the fishes with the food and after two days found

    few of the fishes dead. He approached to the shopkeeper, but the shop was closed and there he came to know that a raid

    was conducted at his shop and 60% of the items at the shop were found expired.

    Keeping the facts into consideration, find out the probability, by using poisson approximation to binomial distribution, that

    out of the packets purchased by Prashant, 4 packets were expired.

    Therefore, it can be said that the probability of having 4 packets expired out of 10 packets, so purchased by Prashant, is

    that of 13.5%

    KRBL is in the market with its product Rice under various brand names. The product is available in the market in the

    packing of 1kg, 5kg, 10 kg, 25 kg, and 50kg. When the company received the complaints from the market about the fault in

    weights of the packets, weighing 50kgs, the company picked up the samples of 100 bags of rice at random. It was found

    that however, the total weight of all the rice bags in sample is correct, as it should be and hence the mean is as per the

    desire; but there is the standard deviation of 5kgs. Now, the company wants to determine the proportion of bags that are

    weighing between 49kg to 52 kg assuming that the bags are normally distributed.

    n = 100

    x = 50

    = 5

    x1 = 49

    x2 = 52

    z1 = (x 1 - x)/ = (49-50)/5 = -0.2

    z2 = (x 2 - x)/ = (52-50)/5 = 0.4 0.2 0 0.4

    Area ( z1 to z 2) = Area (-0.2 to 0) + Area (0 to 0.4)

    = 0.0793 + 0.1554

    = 0.2347

    This implies that out of the sample of 100 bags picked by the company, minimum 23 and maximum 24 bags are

    weighing in between 49 to 52 kg.

    The Ministry of Human Resource Development of India conducted a survey upon the students of management at graduation

    as well as that of at the post graduation level across the territory of India. The reason for conducting the survey was to

    determine the level of difficulty as well as the interests of the students with respect to the Quantitative Techniques and

    Business Statistics as a compulsory subject of management studies. A random sample of 8000 students was taken, out of

    which 5000 students found the subject easy as well as interesting. If there are in total 45000 students of management in

    India; calculate how many students find the subject easy and interesting.
