Calculating X from a Known Probability Scenario Assignment
Scenario Script:
Caption: The possibility of a labor stoppage at Princess Foods is becoming greater and greater as the collective bargaining negotiations with the union have broken down.
Although they have a contingency plan for management to operate the machinery if a strike should occur, they only have enough people trained to cover 5% capacity of the normal distribution.
Bonnie: I am getting more and more uneasy about this situation. We've had four formal complaints filed already.
Liwei: Even with our contingency plan in place, we need more concrete information about how a labor stoppage could affect production numbers. I know that you've helped us with this already, but could you take another look? Exactly how many cans could be produced per day under these circumstances?
Assignment
