An executive that Colantuono worked with said this about the mentoring that he gave to two people, a man and a woman: “I helped the woman build confidence, I helped the man learn the business, and I didn’t realize that I was treating them any differently.” How does this statement make you feel? Do you think that your feelings are influenced by whether you are a male or female? Explain your answer.

Aproduction line has three machines a, b, and c, with reliabilities of .96, .86, and .85, respectively. the machines are arranged so that if one breaks down, the others must shut down. engineers are weighing two alternative designs for increasing the line’s reliability. plan 1 involves adding an identical backup line, and plan 2 involves providing a backup for each machine. in either case, three machines (a, b, and c) would be used with reliabilities equal to the original three. a. compute overall system reliability under plan 1. (round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 4 decimal places.) reliability b. compute overall system reliability under plan 2. (round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 4 decimal places.) reliability c. which plan will provide the higher reliability? plan2plan1
