The X-matrix strengthens resource allocation decisions by:

The reconciliation of reporting systems highlights that financial savings are best understood as:

Enterprise thinking emphasizes decisions for the greater good. Which of the following most accurately contrasts enterprise thinking with silo behavior in budget allocation?

Based on the sample data, what is the probability that a batch exceeds the sample mean? Use the T-distribution table to calculate this. Note that in the midterm and final, you are only allowed calculators and the physical, printed tables.  

The expectation of the difference of two independent random variables is equal to the difference of their expectations, but the variance of the difference is equal to the sum of their variances. 

Should the machine be replaced if the factory’s rule is to replace it when 20% or more of batches exceed the sample mean?  

A factory monitors the time (in minutes) it takes for machines to complete a batch of products in a manufacturing process. From past data and supplier specifications, it is known that the average completion time of this machine is 50 minutes. However, employees have noticed that in recent weeks, the machine has been taking more time to complete one batch. So, they decided to take a random sample of 16 batches of products. They measured the time it takes for the machine to complete each batch. After collecting and summarizing the data, they found the following about the 16 batches:

Suppose you calculate a 95% confidence interval for the mean weight of apples in a batch as (150, 170) grams. You then repeat the experiment with a larger sample size but with the same sample mean and standard deviation. Which of the following statements is correct about the new confidence interval?
