Question
The ideal output of a particular oil-rig in the Mexican Gulf is 1000 barrels per day, neither more nor less: with higher output the mechanical wear is too high, and with lower output they dont earn enough money. If the output is higher than that, the foreman raises an American flag at the end of the day. If the output is lower than 1000 barrels, the foreman raises no flag. Old Joe the Retired Statistician watches from the shore every day. After 32 days, the flag was raised on 20 of those days. Is the oil-rig operating at non-ideal conditions?Explanation / Answer
The ideal output of oil-rig is 1000 barrels per day.
if output > 1000 barrels than foreman raises an American flag (non-ideal)
and if output < 1000 barrels than foreman raises no flag (non-ideal)
After 32 days Joe noticed that flag was raised on 20 days out of 32 days, it means output had been higher than 1000 barrels on 20 days. And the remaining 12 days, no flag was raised , it means output had been lower than 1000 barrels on 12 days.
THus observing this data we can say that oil-rig operating at non-ideal conditions.
