Provide an appropriate response.A student receives test scores of 60, 83, and 70. They earn a 90 on their homework. Each test is worth 20% of the final grade, the homework is worth 40% of the final grade. What is the student’s mean score in the class? (Hint: Multiply the scores by their weights, and add them up)

A global electronics manufacturer is evaluating two shipping routes for a critical microprocessor sourced from a single factory in Taiwan to its assembly plant in Mexico. The company’s primary goal is to ensure a highly predictable supply chain to support its Just-in-Time (JIT) manufacturing system, where transit time consistency is more critical than the absolute lowest average transit time. The company analyzes the transit time data (in days) from the last 50 shipments for each route: Route A (Direct Air Freight): This is a premium, direct-to-destination route. The data shows transit times are tightly clustered, but on two occasions, shipments were held in customs for an extensive period due to random high-level inspections, creating two significant outliers (e.g., 15 and 18 days, when most shipments took 3-4 days). Route B (Sea-Air Combination): This is a standard, multi-leg route. The transit times are naturally longer and more spread out than Route A’s typical times, but the data contains no extreme, unexpected outliers. The average transit time is higher than Route A’s average. Given the company’s priority for predictability and the nature of the data, which measures should the logistics analyst use to provide the most robust and insightful comparison of the two routes’ transit time reliability?
