Question

facts and requirements
marylyn is making food products according to the specification. she is deciding whether or not texas standard groun pork can be used.
in each of the following problems, you will be given the same facts about texas standard ground pork, along with requirements needed for a decision. for each problem, see if the facts meet the requirements.
here are some facts about the texas standard ground pork:

• texas standard is preserved with bha/bht.
• texas standard has a ttr - compensated absorbance of 200.
• texas standard has an aggregate fat content of 45.
• texas standard has a compensated thermal signature of 485.
• texas standard has no inclusion fillings.
• texas standard is from a reg 2a state.

ground pork can only be used with serple patty presses if at least 2 of the following four requirements are satisfied:

• the ttr - compensated absorbance of the ground pork is less than 200
• the ground pork has a compensated thermal signature more than 450
• the frick weight ratio of the ground pork is 20
• the ground pork has inclusion fillings

can texas standard ground pork be used with serple patty presses?
○ yes
○ no
○ not enough information
here are some facts about the texas standard ground pork:

• texas standard is preserved with bha/bht.
• texas standard has a ttr - compensated absorbance of 200.
• texas standard has an aggregate fat content of 45.
• texas standard has a compensated thermal signature of 485.
• texas standard has no inclusion fillings.
• texas standard is from a reg 2a state.

ground pork will meet the dobble restaurant service standards if the ground pork meets none of the following requirements:

• the aggregate fat content of the ground pork is more than or equal to 45
• the ground pork has a compensated thermal signature more than or equal to 490
• the ph of the ground pork is less than or equal to 8.7

Explanation:

Step1: Evaluate first sub-question

Check each requirement for Serple presses:

1. TTR-absorbance < 200? Fact: 200 → No
2. Thermal signature >450? Fact: 485 → Yes
3. Frick ratio =20? No data → No
4. Inclusion fillings? Fact: No → No

Only 1 requirement is satisfied, which is less than the required 2.

Step2: Evaluate second sub-question

Check each Dobble standard requirement:

1. Fat content ≥45? Fact: 45 → This requirement is met
2. Thermal signature ≥490? Fact: 485 → No
3. pH ≤8.7? No data → Cannot confirm, but the first requirement is already met, so the pork does NOT meet "NONE of the requirements"

Answer:

1. No
2. No
