18. More Hotel C (ExH). Given the scenario in Mindscape 16-that is, the hotel starts full-suppose now that the Infinite Life Insurance Company, which has lots of employees-in fact, there are as many employees as there are natural numbers-decides to provide each of its employees with a private room. Is it possible for the night manager to give each of the infinitely many employees his or her own room without kicking any of the other guests onto the streets? By the way, as you may have guessed, after this busy evening, the night manager quit and got a job as the night manager of a nearby Motel 6 (it only had 56 rooms).

2-17 Evertight, a leading manufacturer of quality nails, produces 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, and 5-inch nails for various uses. In the production process, if there is an overrun or the nails are slightly defective, they are placed in a common bin. Yesterday, 651 of the 1-inch nails, 243 of the 2-inch nails, 41 of the 3-inch nails, 451 of the 4- inch nails, and 333 of the 5-inch nails were placed in the bin. a. What is the probability of reaching into the bin and getting a 4-inch nail? b. What is the probability of getting a 5-inch nail? c. If a particular application requires a nail that is 3 inches or shorter, what is the probability of getting a nail that will satisfy the requirements of the application?

Suppose Gabe, an elementary school student, has just finished dinner with his mother, Judy. Eyeing the nearby cookie jar, Gabe asks his mother if he can have a cookie for dessert. She tells Gabe that she needs to check his backpack to make sure that he finished his homework. Gabe cannot remember where he left his backpack, but he knows for sure that he did not complete his homework and will not be allowed to eat a cookie. Gabe believes his only option is to quickly steal a cookie while his mother is out of the room. Judy then leaves the room to look for Gabe's backpack. Assume that Judy could return at any time in the next 60 seconds with equal probability. For the first 20 seconds, Gabe sheepishly wonders if he will get caught trying to grab a nearby cookie. After waiting and not seeing his mother, Gabe decides that he needs a cookie and begins to take one from the jar. Assuming it takes Gabe 30 seconds to grab a cookie from the jar and devour it without a trace, what is the…
A twenty-something single person is planning a ski vacation. Assume that he has 2 possible destinations: Utah, and Oregon. There are 4 ski areas in Utah with 4 available times for 3 of the areas, and 1 times for the other area. There are 4 ski areas in Oregon with 2 available times for 3 of the areas, and 4 times for the other area. (A "time" refers to a weekend for which there are vacancies at the ski lodge.) A trip plan involves the selection of a location, ski area, and a time. How many possible plans are there?
A movie studio is scheduling the release of six films-Fiesta, Glaciers, Hurricanes, Jets, Kangaroos, and Lovebird. No two of these films can be released on the same date.

Kangaroos must be released earlier than Jets, and Jets must be released earlier than Hurricanes. Lovebird must be released earlier than Glaciers. 3. If Glaciers is released earlier than Hurricanes, then each of the following could be true except: A Glaciers is released fourth. Ⓑ Jets is released third. C Kangaroos is released second.

Question 3 Supreme Ventures Limited is a major gambling company in the Caribbean. Last year Supreme Ventures had budgeted up to $8,000 per week for local advertising. The money was allocated among four promotional media: tv spots, newspaper ads, and two types of radio advertisements. Supreme Ventures goal is to reach the largest possible high-potential audience through the various media at the lowest cost possible. The following table presents the number of potential gamblers reached by making use of an advertisement in each of the four media. It also provides the cost per advertisement placed and the maximum number of ads that can be purchased per week. Medium Audience Reached Cost Maximum Ads per Ad per Ad $ per Week spot (1 min) Daily newspaper (full-page ad) Radio spot (30 sec, primetime) TV 5,000 800 12 8500 925 5 2400 290 25 Radio spot (1min afternoon) 2800 380 20 Supreme Ventures contractual arrangements require that at least 5 radio spots be placed each week.

Freddy is the owner of Freddy’s fast fuel for Small Aircraft specializing in “Providing flight fit fantastic fuel” for small general aviation aircraft such as a Cessna 172. Freddy is experimenting with a fueling process involving new equipment and is trying to determine if the current process takes more time than the new process with the new equipment he is experimenting with. If the current process takes more time than the new process, Freddy will purchase some new, rather expensive fueling equipment to use across several small general aviation airports his company services. Freddy is comparing sample mean times to evaluate his hypothesis about the population (total number of aircraft fuel fill-ups). Over the period of a week, he took a random sample of fuel fill-up times using both the old and new processes. Using the information Freddy provided, you ran a t-test for independent samples. These are the results (α = .05). t-Test: Two-Sample Assuming Unequal Variance Current…
Digi-Key is a large distributor (but not manufacturer) of electronic components. They receive shipments of components from manufacturers and sell them on to other manufacturers, consumers, and hobbyists. An electrical fuse is generally a small device meant to protect other electrical components from damaging surges of electrical current. Suppose Digi-Key receives shipments of a particular fuse in boxes of 20,000 fuses. The manufacturer of this fuse claims that just 1 out of every 100 fuses is defective. Digi-Key draws 50 fuses randomly from each box and tests them using an error-free method. If it finds 2 or more defective fuses in its sample of 50 fuses, it sends that box back to the manufacturer and gets a replacement box. (Because there are 20,000 fuses in a box--much bigger than 50--you may treat this as if it is sampling with replacement even though it is not really.) Compute the probability that Digi-Key sends a box back to the manufacturer if the manufacturer's claim (that…
