The twins, Nikki and Sean want to open a small convenience store. They have to decide whether to build a small, medium or big store. They consulted their older brother, Dave, who is a market analyst. Dave told them that he just finished a market study for a similar venture and his findings indicated a 0.35 probability that demand will be low and a 0.65 probability that demand will be high. If Nikki and Sean build a small store and demand is low, the net present value will be $150,000. If demand is high they have the option to buy their inventory from a wholesaler and realize a net present value of $100,000. If they decide they want to expand, they stand to realize a net present value of $120,000. If the twins build a medium-sized store and demand is low, the net present value will be $175,000. If the demand turns out to be high, they can do nothing and realize a net present value of $100,000. If they expand, they could realize a net present value of $135,000. If Nikki and Sean build…
In a clinical trial, 3% of the patients in the study experienced fatigue as a side effect. Suppose that a random sample of 20 users of the new medicine were selected, find the probability that a. Exactly 2 will experience fatigue as a side effect. b. At most 2 will experience fatigue as a side effect.
Some electronic devices are better used than new: The failure rate is higher when they are new than when they are six months old. For example, 43.00% of the personal music players of a particular brand have a flaw. If the player has the flaw, it dies in the first six months. If it does not have this flaw, then only 3.000% fail in the first six months. Yours died after you had it for three months. What are the chances that it has this flaw?
A study tracked a large group of people for 10 years. At the start of the study, 20% were heavy smokers (H), 30% were light smokers (L), and 50% were non-smokers (N). The interest of the study was whether the people in the study died during the study (D) or not die (Dc ). The probability that a light smoker died during the study was twice that of the probability of a non-smoker dying. Also, the probability that light smoker died during the study was half that of the probability of a heavy smoker dying. A randomly selected person from the study died during the study. What is the probability that this person was a heavy smoker (given they died, what is the probability they were a heavy smoker H)?
Previously, De Anza's statistics students estimated that the amount of change daytime statistics students carry is exponentially distributed with a mean of $0.88. Suppose that we randomly pick 25 daytime statistics students. Find the probability that an individual had between $0.80 and $1.00. Graph the situation, and shade in the area to be determined.
If a seed is planted, it has a 65% chance of growing into a healthy plant. If 10 seeds are planted, what is the probability that exactly 1 doesn't grow?
In automotive repair, experience has shown that a rough - running engine can be attributed to the bad ignition wires 35% of the time, bad spark plugs 80% of the time, and both problems 20% of the time. Suppose a mechanic begins to diagnose the problem by checking the spark plugs first and find them to be bad. Given this information, what is the probability that the wires are also bad?
A project has a 60% of super success earning $50,000, a 15% chance of mediocre success earning $20,000, and a 25% probability of failure losing $30,000. What is the EMV of the project?
In the last week of the semester, Stéphane decides to “reward” the students by no longer limiting himself to 4 exercises and instead assigning every activity he writes. If a student with a 60% chance of correctly answering an exercise is expected to answer three correctly, what is the probability that Stéphane did not have a visitor that week?
You are analysing a factory. Stage 3 of the manufacturing process has a 70% chance of finishing on time. If it does finish on time, the chance of Stage 4 finishing late is 25%. The overall chance of Stage 4 finishing on time is 64.875%. What is the chance that Stage 4 finishes late if Stage 3 finished late?
