The probability that it will rain on any given day is 0.20, and the probability is independent from day to day. You are trying to decide whether or not to make a tee time tomorrow to play golf. This requires a commitment on your part of turning down, say, movie tickets in favor of playing golf. If you accept the tickets, you also make the commitment not to go golfing. There is a weather forecast that signals whether it will rain tomorrow or not. There is a 0.80 probability that it rains when there is a "rainy" forecast and a 0.125 probability of rain when there is a "sunny" forecast. The overall probability of getting a "rainy" forecast is 0.111. Assume you are risk neutral. You place the following monetary values on the potential outcomes: a sunny day at $95 the golf course a rainy day at the movies a rainy day at home a sunny day at the movies $20 -$18 $1
A proprietor of a food-stall has invented a new item of food delicacy which he calls WHIM. He has calculated that the cost of manufacture is Re. 1 per piece and that because of its novelty and quality it would be sold for Rs. 3 per piece. It is, however, perishable, and any goods unsold at the end of the day are a dead loss. He expects the demand to be variable and has drawn up the following probability distribution. 14 No. of pieces demanded : Probability (i) Find the value of k. 10 11 12 13 15 k + 0:02 k + 0.05 5k -0.02 7k + 0:03 2k + 0-02 2k (ii) Find an expression for his net profit or loss if he manufactures m pieces and only n are demanded; consider separately the two cases n m. (ii) Assume that he manufactures 12 pieces. using the result in (i) ab ove, find his net profit or loss for ea ch level of demand. (v) Also obtain the net profits for di fferent levels of demand and produ ction, each ranging from 10 to 15. (iv) Using the probability distributio n, calculate his expected…
Suppose the profit a Honda dealership makes on the next 5 Accords it sells are:504, 1,027, 867, 1,434, 1,372. Calculate the standard deviation of the sample. (please express your answer using 2 decimal places).
An equipment proposal from two vendors A and B have been received from a local company. The quality of these equipment have been varying and consequently the cost of manufacturing the product using these two different equipment has also varied. The varying costs based on the probabilities of defects are given in table below.Determine the better vendor.

5.100 Tossing a die. You are tossing a balanced die that has probability 1/6 of coming up 1 on each toss. Tosses are independent. We are interested in how long we must wait to get the first 1. (a) The probability of a 1 on the first toss is 1/6. What is the probability that the first toss is not a 1 and the second toss is a 1? (b) What is the probability that the first two tosses are not 1s and the third toss is a 1? This is the probability that the first 1 occurs on the third toss. 4 (c) Now you see the pattern. What is the probability that the first 1 occurs on the fourth toss? On the fifth toss?
