2. Gregory, driving a truck and pulling a boat on a trailer, leaves Pines' Meadow campground for the long trip home. With the boat and trailer Gregory travels at 40 miles per hour. a. Gregory's sister, Alyson, leaves the campground an hour later and travels 50 miles per hour, following the same route as Gregory. If these two cars continue in this way, how long will it take Alyson to catch up with Gregory? b. Assuming that Gregory must drive at 40 miles per hour and Alyson starts an hour later as above, how fast must she travel in order to catch up with Gregory at some point down the road? For example, will Alyson catch up with Gregory if she travels 42 miles per hour?

A researcher is interested in whether people who enjoy fine wine can actually tell the difference between a highly rated expensive wine and a good inexpensive wine. She selects several bottles of a highly rated cabernet sauvignon (a red wine) costing over $100 per bottle and several bottles of a good cabernet sauvignon costing $12. Subjects will taste a glass of wine without knowing whether it is the expensive or inexpensive wine. This is the treatment. They will then be asked to estimate how much the wine cost. This is the response variable. Outline a completely randomized design to compare the cost estimates for the two treatments. Twenty subjects are available. Group 1 Treatment 1 10 subjects expensive wine Compare Price estimate Random assignment Treatment 2 A Grouo 2 10 subjects inexpensive wine Group 1 10 subjects - expensive wine Random assignment Compare price estimates Group 2 10 subjects - inexpensive wine Treatment 1 Group 1 20 subjects expensive wine Compare Price estimate…
A tortoise and hare are competing in a 400-meter race. The arrogant hare gives the tortoise a 220-meter head start. When the start gun is fired, the hare begins running at a constant speed of 3.5 meters per second and the tortoise begins crawling at constant speed of 1.5 meters per second.

A chef must decide how many chocolate lava cakes to prepare for the upcoming Mother's Day Dinner special. The chef can either prepare 50, 100, or 150 lava cakes. Assume that demand for the lava cakes can be 50, 100, or 150. Each dish costs $5 to make and is priced at for $7 on the menu. Unsold cakes are donated to a nearby charity center. Assume that there is no opportunity cost for lost sales. The cafe owner told the chef that in the past years, the probability that clients will order 50 cakes is 0.30; the probability they will order 100 cakes is 0.50, and the probability that they will order 150 cakes is 0.20. What is the best alternative using the EMV criterion?
