1. Assume the room rate for a 3-star hotel in Paris follows a normal distribution with a mean of 175€ and a standard deviation of 16€. What is the probability that a randomly selected 3-star hotel has a room rate of Z(X) = (x-μ)/σ σ=16 μ=175 a) Less than 195 Euros? Z (195) = (195-175)/16 = 1‚ 25 so 89‚ 4% b) More than 180 Euros? Z (180) = (180-175)/16 = 0‚ 31 so 62‚ 2% c) Exactly 170 Euros? Z (170) = (170-175)/16 = - 0‚ 31 so 37‚ 8% d) Between 150 and 182 Euros?

Title: Determination of chloride by the Mohr Method Objective: To determine chloride by using Mohr Method. Introduction: The Mohr method is the method used to determine the chloride ion concentration of a solution by titration with silver nitrate. As the silver nitrate solution is slowly added‚ a precipitate of silver chloride forms. Ag+ + Cl- AgCl(s) (Ksp for AgCl is 1.810-10) The chloride ion (Cl-) is an important anion found in solids and solutions. Chloride is the predominant anion

Fuzzy TOPSIS method This is an approach based on the TOPSIS technique (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) and the fuzzy set theory. The TOPSIS method is based on the concept that the optimum option has the least distance from the positive ideal solution. It is a linear weighting technique‚ which was first proposed‚ in its crisp version by Chen and Hwang(1992)‚ with reference to Hwang and Yoon(1981). Since then‚ this method has been widely adopted to solve MCDM problems
