Suppose that Trendy Inc. products a style of a seasonal business suit, Sit-T-Slicker, which has a cost of $500 per unit. The demand during the season for Sit-T-Slicker is generally unknown and could be either: 200, 500, 800, 1100, and 1500 units with equal probabilities. Trendy sells the Sit-T-Slicker suit for $900 per unit during its three-month season, and for $300 per unit when sold after that time. Given the above data, what is the optimal order quantity for the Sit-T-Slicker? What is expected profit? Suppose the probabilities in part a change to 0.05, 0.25, 0.40, 0.25, 0.05 for demand levels 200, 500, 800, 1100, 1500, respectively. What is the optimal order quantity and expected profit in this case? How would better information regarding the demand for the Sit-T-Slicker suit change the data provided in this problem? How would this information affect the answers to part a? Explain.

(QUEEN'S SECRET AND GENIES) In old days, there was a queen and she had a secret problem to solve. To get an answer to her secret problem, the queen bought one female and one male genie lamps. The probabilities that her secret problem can be solved by the male and female genies are 0.3 and 0.4 respectively. A Queen looking for divine help. Assume the queen keeps the genies independently away from each other with a fear that both could not harm her, what is the probability that the queen's secret problem is solved by at least one of the genies? Note: Please keep accuracy upto two decimal places.
A manufacturing company is faced with the problems of choosing four products to manufacture. The potential demand for each product may turn out to be good, satisfactory, or poor.

A retailer of automobile parts has four employees, K, L, M, and N, who make mistakes in filling an order one time in 100, four times in 100, two times in 100, and six times in 100. Of all the orders filled, K , L, M, and N fill, respectively, 20%, 40%, 30%, and 10%. If a mistake is found in a particular order, what are the probabilities that it was filled by K, L, M, or N?
You've been scheduled to play three games of pickleball against someone you know very little about. Assume your opponent is either an amateur, an equal (i.e., they are just as talented as you are, but no more), or a professional. You can assume your opponent is equally likely to be any of the three levels, and that you'll win a single game against the amateur, your equal, and the professional with probabilities p1, 0.5, and p2 respectively, where we'll assume that 0<p2<0.5<p1<1. Assuming you have zero knowledge of your opponent's skill level and that, as with all other parts of this problem, you're equally likely to play an amateur, an equal, or a professional, what's the expected number of games you'll win? You should, of course, assume you play the same opponent all three times. Express your general answer in terms of p1 and p2, but verify your answer using p1=0.7 and p2=0.25 out to three decimal places.
A machine has four components, A, B, C, and D, set up in such a manner that all four parts must work for the machine to work properly. Assume the probability of one part working does not depend on the functionality of any of the other parts. Also assume that the probabilities of the individual parts working are P(A) = P(B) = 0.95, P(C) = 0.91, and P(D) = 0.96. Find the probability that at least one of the four parts will work. Round to six decimal places.
From a large survey of customers using a chain of coffee shops, 60% of the customers are male, 50% purchase food, 15% are both Male and purchase food. What are the probabilities that: A customer is both female and purchases food? A female customer purchases food? A customer purchasing food is female?

Given that you win the first game, what's the probability that you'll win the next two against the same opponent, whoever that turned out be? Again, express your general answer in terms of p1p1and p2p2, and verify your answer using p1=0.7 and p2=0.25 out to at least three decimal places.
In a bolt factory, machines A, B, C manufacture 30%, 30%, 40% of the total output respectively. From their outputs, 4, 5, 3 per cents are defective bolt. A bolts is drawn at random and found to be defective. What are the probabilities that it was manufactured by machines A, B and C?
The accidents that occur in a manufacturing company were classified by severity (strong, moderate and mild) and by sex with the following characteristics: 40% of the accidents were strong and 30% were moderate. Women suffered 20% of the accidents. Of the total number of serious accidents, men suffered 85.5% of the accidents. Similarly, of the total moderate accidents, women suffered 45% of the accidents. Calculate the following probabilities:- If a woman suffered an accident, what is the probability that it was minor?- If a man suffered an accident, what is the probability that he is strong?
