Consider golfers who led the PGA in winnings at different points in time. Note that the winnings are nominal figures (unadjusted for inflation). Use the formula for converting nominal values into real values to convert the original U. S. dollar earnings of Nicklaus, Watson, and Woods ('00) to 2009 U. S. dollars. Using those figures, fill in the following table, making sure to round your responses to the nearest U. S. dollar.
Year Golfer Nominal Winnings U. S. Dollars ($) U. S. CPI (1983 = 100) Winnings in 2009 U. S. Dollars ($)
1973 Jack Nicklaus 308,362 44.4
1980 Tom Watson 530,808 82.4
2000 Tiger Woods 9,188,321 172.2
2009 Tiger Woods 10,508,163 214.5 10,508,163
List the four golfers in order from lowest inflation-adjusted winnings to highest.

Aproduction line has three machines a, b, and c, with reliabilities of .96, .86, and .85, respectively. the machines are arranged so that if one breaks down, the others must shut down. engineers are weighing two alternative designs for increasing the line’s reliability. plan 1 involves adding an identical backup line, and plan 2 involves providing a backup for each machine. in either case, three machines (a, b, and c) would be used with reliabilities equal to the original three. a. compute overall system reliability under plan 1. (round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 4 decimal places.) reliability b. compute overall system reliability under plan 2. (round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 4 decimal places.) reliability c. which plan will provide the higher reliability? plan2plan1

An attorney came to work on a saturday. when he signed in, he was advised by the morning security guard employed by the building management that he must be out of the building by 5 p.m., when it closes. however, he stayed past 5 p.m. to complete a brief that had to be filed on monday morning. at 5: 15 p.m., the afternoon security guard set the locks on all the doors of the building and left. because she was in a hurry, she did not check the sign-in sheet to make sure that everyone had signed out, contrary to mandatory procedures. when the attorney tried to exit 15 minutes later, he discovered that the doors were all locked and could not be opened from the inside. he used his cell phone to call for , and a supervisor from the building arrived and let him out shortly thereafter. if the attorney sues the building management for false imprisonment, is he likely to win?
