Product Strategy Duff has always followed a level production strategy because Duff prefers not to fire and hire employees.
Management is open to change if there is enough of a cost benefit for the change. In order to find the
best fit for Duff you are going to try the current production plan, a chase demand strategy, and keeping a
steady work force of 20 workers using overtime and sub-contracting when needed.

plants store their excess carbohydrate in the form of starch so that it could be used as energy source later on. the excess carbohydrate is converted into starch in the plastid i.e. chloroplast & this process occurs in the presence of sunlight. it is an insoluble polymer of glucose which gets stored in cell organelles named as amyloplasts. in some plants, starch is also stored in roots and embryos.

step-by-step explanation:

d. 24+-0.114

step-by-step explanation:

the question requires us to calculate the approximate 95% confidence interval for the mean number of ounces of ketchup per bottle in the sample given the following statistics;

sample mean = 24

standard deviation, σ = 0.4

sample size , n = 49

the confidence interval for a population mean is calculated using the formula;

sample mean ± z-score*(σ/sqrt(n))

the z-score associated with a 95% confidence interval, from the standard normal tables, is;

1.96

substituting these values into the formula;

24 ± 1.96*(0.4/7)

= 24 ± 0.112

from the alternatives given, choice d is closest to the above expression;
