COST OF CLOSING FINISH GOODS = 39680

UNIT SOLD = OPENING FINISHED UNITS + UNIT MANUFACTURED – CLOSING FINISHED UNITS

Semester “Fall 2010”

Assignment No.  02                                         Marks:  20
“Patients’ attitude”
An NGO working for the welfare of cancer patients wants to conduct a survey to measure
cancer patients’ attitudes toward the doctor’s personality, behavior, competence, and prescribed
treatment, in the public hospitals of Lahore. A researcher has been hired for this purpose.
There are 10 hospitals in the city that are treating cancer patients. Administrators of
seven famous hospitals in the city are ready to cooperate with the researcher and provide him the
information about cancer patients admitted to the hospital. While the other three hospitals
refused to provide any information for some reason. On the basis of the information provided
by 07 hospitals, he has a list of 500 cancer patients, admitted to these public hospitals of
Lahore.
The researcher decided to take a simple random sample of 150 patients for the survey. He
collected data by filling out a questionnaire from selected patients and analyzed the data to
draw conclusions.

 SOLUTION

 

 

Q.No.1

Identify the population in the given scenario?

 

Answer;

In the given scenario, the cancer patients admitted into the public hospitals of Lahore are the population.

 

Q.No.2

What is the sampling frame in the given scenario?

 

Answer;

The ten public hospitals of Lahore city engaged in the treatment of cancer patients are the sampling frame in the given scenario.

 

Q.No.3

Identify the sampling unit and observation unit in the given scenario?

 

Answer;

In the given scenario, the public hospitals of Lahore engaged in the treatment of cancer patients are the primary sampling unit and the seven hospitals which decided to cooperate with the research project are the secondary sampling unit.

 

As it is a single-level sampling, therefore the seven hospitals (engaged in the treatment of cancer patients) of Lahore (which are also the secondary sampling unit) are the observation unit.

Q.No.4

What type of research is this? Descriptive, exploratory, or explanatory?

 

Answer;

In my view, the research conducted by the NGO is descriptive in nature because its motive is to describe the cancer patient s’ attitude towards the doctor s’ personality, behavior, competence, and prescribed treatment. This kind of research is conducted to find the answers to questions like who, when, where, and what. how etc.

Assuming the payoff under each state of nature what decision would be appropriate using each
of the following criteria.
a.  Maximin
b.  Maximax

Mr. A is the Operations Manager of ABC Company. He has been given the responsibility to make the decision for constructing a restaurant. He has three available alternative points to construct it out. First alternative is to construct on road S, second is to construct on road M, and third is to construct on road D. The data for expected payoff under three states of nature is available in the following table.

 

POSSIBLE FUTURE DEMAND

Road S

Rs. 40 m

Rs. 40 m

Rs. 50 m

Road M

Rs. 55 m

Rs. 60 m

Rs. 75 m

Road D

Rs. 30 m

Rs. 55 m

Rs. 85 m

 

Assuming the payoff under each state of nature what decision would be appropriate using each of the following criteria.

a. Maximin

b. Maximax

c. Minimax regret

d. Laplace

 

a. Maximin

 

Road S                        Rs. 40 M

Road M                      Rs. 55 M

Road D                       Rs. 30 M

 

Description: Operation manager will build the restaurant on Road D because it has minimum possible pay-off i.e. Rs. 30 m. Therefore, Road D is the Maximin payoff act

 

b. Maximax

 

Road S                        Rs. 50 M

Road M                      Rs. 75 M

Road D                       Rs. 85 M

 

Description: Operation manager will build the restaurant on Road D as its best of the best numbers i.e. Rs. 85 M. Therefore, Road D is the Maximax payoff act

 

c. Minimax regret

 

Alternative

Moderate

Low

High

Worst regret

Road S

Rs. 40 – 55 = -15 m

Rs. 40 – 60 = -20 m

Rs. 50 – 85 = -35 m

-35 m

Road M

Rs. 55 – 55 = 0 m

Rs. 60 – 60 = 0 m

Rs. 75 – 85 = -10 m

-10 m

Road D

Rs. 30 – 55 = -25 m

Rs. 55 – 60 = -5m

Rs. 85 – 85 = 0 m

-30 m

 

* Subtracting column entry with the highest column value

 

Description: So using a minimax choice based on regret would be that operation manger should build the restaurant on Road M, ensuring regret no worse than -10 m.

 

d. Laplace

 

Alternative

Moderate

Low

High

Calc.

Road S

Rs. 40 m

Rs. 40 m

Rs. 50 m

130 / 3= 43.3

Road M

Rs. 55 m

Rs. 60 m

Rs. 75 m

190 / 3 = 63.3

Road D

Rs. 30 m

Rs. 55 m

Rs. 85 m

170 / 3 = 56.7

 

Description: Using Laplace criterion, operation manager will build the restaurant on Road M as it has the maximum average payoff i.e. 63.3
