question 188

Essay

TABLE 5-8
Two different designs on a new line of winter jackets for the coming winter are available for your manufacturing plants. Your profit (in thousands of dollars) will depend on the taste of the consumers when winter arrives. The probability of the three possible different tastes of the consumers and the corresponding profits are presented in the following table.

-Referring to Table 5-8, if you decide to choose Design A for 30% of the production lines and Design B for the remaining production lines, what is the risk of your investment?

Definitions:

Spectral Data

Information derived from the analysis of a spectrum, used to identify the composition, physical properties, and structure of molecules.

Fragmentations

The breaking of chemical bonds within molecules to produce smaller, often radical or ionic, fragments, typically occurring in mass spectrometric analysis or chemical reactions.

MS

Mass spectrometry, an analytical technique used for measuring the mass-to-charge ratio of ions to identify and quantify molecules in a sample.

NMR

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, a spectroscopic technique that exploits the magnetic properties of certain atomic nuclei to provide information about the structure, dynamics, reaction state, and chemical environment of molecules.
