A coin is rigged so that the probability of tossing a head is 0.41. The coin is tossed until the first time that a head turns up. Let T record the number of tosses/trials up to and including the first head. What is the probability distribution of T'? Your answer should be a function of k. P(T = k) =

“A car manufacturer produces two versions of its popular medium sized model: a hatchback aimed at the family market and a coupe designed to appeal to affluent single customers.Both are based on the same chassis and differ only in the body kit used to make up the cars. They are both produced at the same factory.There are 95,000 hours of manpower and 8,900 basic chassis units (one per vehicle) available each week. The hatchback takes 4 hours of assembly time while a coupe takes 6.5 hours.At least 1,000 coupe models should be produced per week.Production is also constrained by the fact that owing to problems with a supplier only 34,000 door handles are available per week. A hatchback uses ten of these handles while a coupe uses four.The profit to the factory on a hatchback model is estimated to be £3,450 while the profit on a coupe is £975.The market demand for the cars is high. It is known that demand will exceed production for time to come so they should be able to sell whatever mix of…
2. Bombardier Aerospace is the third largest airplane manufacturer in the world and has its main headquarters in Dorval, Québec. The Dash 8 series of turboprop airliners are built by Bombardier and are designed to need very short takeoff and landing strips. Suppose that a Dash 8 airplane is travelling from Edmonton to Kelowna, a trip of about 600 km (by air), at a speed of 450 km/h. Let w represent the speed of the wind, in kilometres per hour, where w is positive for a tailwind and negative for a headwind, and t represent the time, in hours, it takes to fly. The equation that represents t as a function of w is as follows: t = 500 w+ 400

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…
