Bob and Doug play a lot of Ping-Pong, but Doug is a much better player, and wins 60% of their games.To make up for this, if Doug wins a game he will spot Bob five points in their next game. If Doug wins again he will spot Bob ten points the next game, and if he still wins the next game he will spot himfifteen points, and continue to spot him fifteen points as long as he keeps winning. Whenever Bob wins a game he goes back to playing the next game with no advantage.It turns out that with a five-point advantage Bob wins 70% of the time; he wins 80% of the time with a ten-point advantage and 90% of the time with a fifteen-point advantage.Model this situation as a Markov chain using the number of consecutive games won by Doug as the states. There should be four states representing zero, one, two, and three or more consecutive gamewon by Doug. Find the transition matrix of this system, the steady-state vector for the system, and determine the proportion of games that Doug will win in the long run under these conditions.0 0 0P = |0 0 00 0 .S= 00.Proportion of games won by Doug = 0

At the Step Right Up carnival, a game is played where three coins are tossed: a quarter, a dime, and a nickel. The game costs $2 to play. If the three coins all come up heads, you win $5. If at least 30 cents come up heads, you win $2. Otherwise, you lose. Is this a fair game?
A movie production company is releasing a movie with the hopes that many viewers will return to see the movie in the theater for a second time. Their target is to have 30 million viewers, and they want more than 40% of the viewers to want to see the movie again. They show the movie to a test audience of 155 people, and after the movie they asked them if they would see the movie in theaters again. Of the test audience, 65 people said they would see the movie again. a. Specify the competing hypotheses to test if more than 40% of the viewers will return to see the movie again. Ho: 0.4; versus HA b-1. Calculate the value of the test statistic. Note: Round final answer to 2 decimal places. Test statistic 0.4
In a popular online role playing game, players can create detailed designs for their character's "costumes," or appearance. Michael sets up a website where players can buy and sell these costumes online. Information about the number of people who visited the website and the number of costumes purchased in a single day is listed below. 215 visitors purchased no costume. 12 visitors purchased exactly one costume. 3 visitors purchased more than one costume. If next week, he is expecting 1800 visitors, about how many would you expect to buy more than one costume? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
A woman with a basket of eggs finds that if she removes the eggs from the basket 5 or 11 at a time, there is always 1 egg left. However, if she removes the eggs 8 at a time, there are no eggs left. If the basket holds up to 100 eggs, how many eggs does she have? She has eggs.
The local supermarket buys lettuce each day to ensure really fresh produce. Each morning, any lettuce that is left from the previous day is sold to a dealer that resells it to farmers who use it to feed their animals. This week, the supermarket can buy fresh lettuce for $5.00 a box. The lettuce is sold for $15.00 a box and the dealer that sells old lettuce is willing to pay $160 a box. Past history says that tomorrow's demand for lettuce averages 240 boxes with a standard deviation of 36 boxes How many boxes of lettuce should the supermarket purchase tomorrow? Note: Use Excel's NORM.S.INV() function to find the z value. Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Number of boxes

My neighborhood has a lot of dogs. In fact, when I walk my dog, Wrigley, only 2% of the time do we not see any other dogs. Gary has three dogs (Salsa, Nacho, and Dublin), and we see only Gary and his dogs about 30% of the time when we are on a walk. Lesley has two dogs (Buster and Oreo), and we see only Lesley and her dogs 20% of the time when we are on a walk. Gary and Lesley’s dogs don’t get along; we never see them at the same time. Margo has one dog (Bond), and we see only Margo and Bond 25% of the time when we are on a walk. 10% of the time we see Margo and Lesley. What is the probability that Wrigley and I see both Gary (Salsa, Nacho and Dublin) and Margo (Bond) on a walk? What is the probability we see at least one dog owner on our walk? What is the probability we see only Margo or only Gary? Are the events seeing Gary and seeing Margo independent? EXPLAIN briefly. Are the events of seeing Lesley and seeing Gary mutually exclusive?

This game is called “Get Negative”. Roll two dice (record these in the order you roll them), and then do then do the following: take the first number rolled and subtract 2 times the second number rolled. Regardless of who rolls, Player A gets 3 points if the product is greater than or equal to 0 (i.e. it is zero or positive); Otherwise Player B gets 1 points. The players may or may not take turns rolling the dice as it does not matter who is rolling. Any player may score on any roll, and every roll will result in a score. Play the game by rolling the dice 25 times. For each turn, keep a record of both dice and the resulting answer and the points scored, according to the rules above. Tally the points and calculate the final score for each player. Remember, someone gets a point for each turn, depending on the numbers rolled. (One does not have to be rolling to receive the points.) (Note: you may test the game by yourself by doing all of the 25 rolls yourself and just giving the…
Four men and a monkey spend the day gathering coconuts on a tropical island. After they have all gone to sleep at night, one of the men awakens and, not trusting the others, decides to take his share. He divides the coconuts into four equal piles, except for one remaining coconut, which he gives to the monkey. He then hides his share, puts the other piles together, and goes back to sleep. Each of the other men awakens during the night and does likewise, and every time there is one coconut left over for the monkey. In the morning all the men awake, divide what's left of the coconuts into four, and again there is one left over that is given to the monkey. Find the minimum number of coconuts that could have been in the original pile.
