Consider the two charts given below. We have the average basket size on the top and the difference of two numbers: the total sales of a state (shown as the percentage of the nationwide total sales) and the total number of orders of that state (shown as the percentage of the total number of nationwide orders) at the bottom.Consider also how this dashboard has been used to understand Texas’s relative ranking across the United States in BasketSize versus Total Number of Orders. Given that, which of the following states’ purchase behavior is the most inline (as expected) with its population?

A casino employs a technician to repair slot machines that break down at an average of 6 machines per day (Poisson in nature). The casino operates 2000 slot machines on the casino floor. The technician can service an average of 9 machines per day, with a repair time distribution that approximates an exponential distribution. The technician’s cost is approximately $150 per day, while the cost associated with lost productivity from each machine breakdown is estimated at $120 per machine per day (or any fraction thereof).  If the casino hired a second technician at the same cost as the first what would be the cost savings (i.e. the change in the sum of lost productivity cost plus service cost)?
