Q3. The HRD manager of a company wants to find a measure which he can use to fix the monthly income of persons applying for a job in the production department. As an experimental project, he collected data on 7 persons from that department referring to years of service and their monthly income.

Q6. A departmental store has been the target of many shoplifters during the past month, but owing to increased security precautions, 250 shoplifters have been caught. Each shoplifter’s sex is noted, also noted is whether he/she was a first time or repeat offender. The data are summarized in the table below:
Sex First time offenders Repeat offender
Male 60 70
Female 44 76
Assuming that an apprehend shoplifter is chosen at random, find:
(a) The probability that the shoplifter is male.
(b) The probability that the shoplifter is a first time offender , given that the shoplifter is male.
(c) The probability that the shoplifter is female, given that the shoplifter is a repeat offender.
(d) The probability that the shoplifter is female, given that the shoplifter is a first time offender.
Q7. Explain the various types of sampling methods. The manager of a courier service believes that packets delivered at the end of the month are heavier than those delivered early in the month. As an experiment, he weighed a random sample of 20 packets at the begigning of the month. He found that the mean weight was 5.25 kgs with a standard deviation of 1.20 kgs. Ten packets randomly selected at the end of the month had a mean weight of 4.96 kgs and a standard deviation 1.15 kgs. At the 0.05 significance level, can it be concluded that the packets delivered at the end of the month weigh more?
Q8. A manufacturer produces two different models: X and Y, of the same product. Model X makes a contribution of Rs. 50 per unit and model Y, Rs. 30 per unit towards total profit. Raw materials R¬1 and R2 are required for production. Atleast 18 kg of R1¬ and 12 kg of R2 must be used daily. Also atmost 34 hours of labour are to be utilized. A quantity of 2 kg of R1 is needed for model X and 1 kg of R1 for model Y. For each of X and Y, 1 kg of R2 is required. It takes 3 hours to manufacture model X and 2 hours to manufacture model Y. How many units of each model should be produced to maximize the profit?(Use graphical method to solve).

CASE STUDY:
ACC – A pioneer in the Indian cement industry
Associated Cement Companies Ltd. (ACC) came into existence in 1936, after the merger of 10 companies belonging to four important business groups: Tatas, Khataus, Killick Nixon, and F E Dinshaw. The Tata group was associated with ACC since its inception. It sold 14.45% of its share to Gujrat Ambuja cements Ltd between 1999 and 2000. After this strategic alliance, Gujrat Ambuja Cements Ltd became the largest single stakeholder in ACC. In 2005, ACC entered into a strategic relationship with the Holcim group of Switzerland, a world leader in cement as well as a large supplier of concrete, aggregates, and certain construction related services. These global strategic alliances have strengthened the company.
ACC is India’s foremost manufacturer of cement and concrete. The company has a wide range of operations with 14 modern cement factories, more than 30 ready mix concrete plants, 20 sales offices, and seven zonal offices. ACC’s research and development facility has a unique track record of innovative research, product development, and specialized consultancy services. ACC’s brand name is synonymous with cement and it enjoys a high level of equity in the Indian market.
The Impact of Cartelization
Cartelization is one of the major problems in the cement industry. Cartelization takes place when dominant players of the industry join together to control prices and limit competition. In the Indian market, manufacturers have been known to enter into agreements to artificially limit the supply of cement so that the price remains high. When markets are not sufficiently regulated, large companies may be tempted to collude instead of competing with each other. For example, in May 2006, the competition Council of Romania imposed a combined fine of 27 million Euros on France’s Lafarge, Switzerland’s Holcim, and Germany’s Carpatcement for being involved in the cement cartel in the Romanian market. These three companies share 98% of Romanian cement capacity. The government shouls appropriate actions to check acts of cartelization.
Escalating input and fuel costs have forced manufacturers to tap new sources of supply and increase the quest for alternative fuels and raw materials. The cement industry is faced with the challenge of optimizing the utilization of scare basic raw materials and fossil fuels while simultaneously protecting the environment and maintaining emission levels within acceptable limits. It is vital for the cement industry to achieve high levels of energy utilization efficiencies and to sustain them continuously. Table below exhibits sales turnover and advertisement expenses of ACC from 1995 to 2007.
Year Sales
