An excavation company has been contracted to supply 10 million cubic feet (cu. ft.) of dirt to a construction site. the company uses a bulldozer to collect dirt, which is then moved to by dump truck to the construction site. it costs the company $100 per hour to use the bulldozer, and it rents dump trucks at a rate of $40 per hour per truck. each dump truck can hold 1,000 cu. ft. of dirt, and it takes an average of 12 minutes for the bulldozer to load a dump truck with dirt. it takes an average of five minutes for a fully loaded dump truck to deliver the dirt to the construction site and returns to the bulldozer for another load. assuming that the time to load a dump truck and the time for a dump truck to deliver the dirt to the construction site and return to the bulldozer follow exponential distributions, determine the most appropriate queuing model for the dirt-moving process and then use that model to determine how many dump trucks to rent in order to minimize the expected cost of fulfilling the contract.

If your score on your next statistics test is converted to a z score, which of these z scores would you prefer: minus2.00, minus1.00, 0, 1.00, 2.00? why? a. the z score of 2.00 is most preferable because it is 2.00 standard deviations above the mean and would correspond to the highest of the five different possible test scores. b. the z score of 0 is most preferable because it corresponds to a test score equal to the mean. c. the z score of minus2.00 is most preferable because it is 2.00 standard deviations below the mean and would correspond to the highest of the five different possible test scores. d. the z score of minus1.00 is most preferable because it is 1.00 standard deviation below the mean and would correspond to an above average
