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.

At the Washington University 35%, 25% and 40% of the students in Calculus are taught by Prof. A, Prof. B and Prof. C, respectively. The respective probabilities of failing in Calculus for the three professors are 6%, 7% and 5%.

Ponderosa Paint and Glass carries three brands of paint. A customer wants to buy another gallon of paint to match paint she purchased at the store previously. She can’t recall the brand name and does not wish to return home to find the old can of paint. So, she selects two of the three brands of paint at random and buys them. What is the probability that she matched the paint brand? Her husband also goes to the paint store and fails to remember what brand to buy. So, he also purchases two of the three brands of paint at random. Determine the probability that both the woman and her husband fail to get the correct brand of paint. (Hint: Are the husband’s selections independent of the wife’s selections?)

A gas station has three grades of fuel, regular, premium and diesel. Due to problems with the supply chain, the probabilities that the station will run out of any three fuel types in a week are 0.10, 0.16 and 0.24, respectively. These probabilities are statistically independent. Also, if there is a shortage of diesel, the probability of a shortage of premium becomes 0.25. 1. How likely is the station to run out of all three fuels in a given week? 2. What is the probability that if regular runs out, both premium and diesel will also run out? 3. What is the probability that the station will run out of at least one of either premium and diesel? 4. What is the probability that the station will run out of at least 2 of the fuels in a week?
