How can I found the Response rate using the goal seek function to the below question? Question 2-2 (Chapter 2) Continuing the previous problem, use Goal Seek for each value of number mailed (once for 80,000, once for 90,000, and so on). For each, find the response rate that allows the company to break even. Then chart these values, where the number mailed is on the horizontal axis, and the breakeven response rate is on the vertical axis. Explain the behavior in this chart in a brief memo to management.

4. ABC Dog Food Company located in Ottawa sells large bags of dog food to warehouse clubs. ABC uses an automatic filling process to fill the bags. Weights of the filled bags are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 50 kilograms and a standard deviation of 1.25 kilograms. (a) What is the probability that a filled bag will weigh less than 49.5 kilograms? (b) What is the probability that a randomly sampled filled bag will weigh between 48.5 and 51 kilograms? (c) What is the minimum weight a bag of dog food could be and remain in the top 15% of all bags filled? (d) ABC is unable to adjust the mean of the filling process. However, it is able to adjust the standard deviation of the filling process. What would the standard deviation need to be so that 2% of all filled bags weigh more than 52 kilograms?

Use the below formula to calculate the CLV for the following: A manager of a cable company wants to determine if it is strategic to acquire the Brett family, by estimating their household-level CLV. The manager estimates that it will cost the company $80 (A) to get the Bretts’ to switch, and the Bretts’ will generate $150 profit each year (M), with a $30 annual marketing cost to retain them (C). The estimated retention rate (r) is 65%, and the current discount rate is 5%.(d) i) CLV= ii) Based on your calculation, are the Brett’s profitable to the cable company?
Alternative A1 A2 Prior Probability State of Nature S1 S2 -40 100 0.4 75 0 0.6 There is an option of paying $100 to have research done to better predict which state of nature will occur. When the true state of nature is S1, the research will accurately predict S1 60% of the time. When the true state of nature is S2, the research will accurately predict S2 80% of the time. What is the posterior probability of S2 given that the research predicts S2?
