If you were the attacker, and knew that your opponent was trying to minimize the expected cost of your attack,how should you choose {qi} to maximize the expected cost of an attack? (Assume that your strategy is goingto leak to your opponent.) There are N sites that need protection (number them 1 to N). Someone is going to pick one of them to attack, andyou must pick one to protect. Suppose that the attacker is going to attack site i with probability q;. You plan onselecting a site to protect, with probability pi of selecting site i. The choice of {qi} and {p;} represent the attacker'sand defender's strategy, respectively.

A medical researcher claims that the proportion of patients receiving 200 mg of a newly-developed influenza vaccine who go on to contract influenza strain X is less than the proportion of patients receiving 200 mg of last year's influenza vaccine who contract influenza strain X. Of 320 patients who are given last year's vaccine, 114 contract influenza strain X. Of 350 patients who are given the new vaccine, 112 of them contract influenza strain X. Let PN be the proportion of patients receiving the newly-developed vaccine and pL be the proportion of patients receiving last year's vaccine. State the null and alternative hypotheses and the value of the test statistic. Ho: PN =PL versus HA: PN > PL; Test statistic: Z = 0.99 Ho: PN=PL versus HA: PN > PL; Test statistic: Z = 1.55 Ho: PN-PL versus HA: PN PL; Test statistic: Z= 1.55 Ho: PN-PL versus HA: PN PL; Test statistic: Z= 0.99
In a survey, it was found that 72%of the population of a certain urban area lived in single-family dwellings and 28% in multiple housing. One year later, of those who had been living in single-family dwellings, 89%still did so, but 11% had moved to multiple-family dwellings. Of those in multiple housing, 94%were still living in that type of housing, while 6%had moved to single-family housing. Assume that these trends continue. (a) Write a transition matrix using this information. Set it up so that the first row and first column represent single-family dwellings and the second row and second column represent multiple housing.
In a recent study, 20 males used a new weight-loss supplement, and 14 of them experienced weight loss after two weeks. In the same study, 50 females used the same supplement, and 29 of them experienced weight loss after two weeks. Fill in the blanks below to make the most reasonable statement possible. The new weight-loss supplement was less effective on ▼(Choose one) in the study. That is because % of them failed to lose weight after two weeks, whereas only % of the ▼(Choose one) failed to lose weight after two weeks.
When it is sunny, Joe's ice cream truck generates a profit of $547 per day, when it is not sunny, the profit is $250 per day, and when the truck is not out there selling ice cream, Joe loses $120 per day. Suppose 8% of a year Joe's truck is on vacation, and 86% of a year the truck is selling ice cream on sunny days, what is the expected daily profit the truck generates over a year? Enter answer as a decimal rounded to TWO digits after the decimal point.
The route used by a certain motorist in commuting to work contains two intersections with traffic signals. The probability that he must stop at the first signal is 0.45, the analogous probability for the second signal is 0.5, and the probability that he must stop at at least one of the two signals is 0.9. (a) What is the probability that he must stop at both signals? X (b) What is the probability that he must stop at the first signal but not at the second one? X (c) What is the probability that he must stop at exactly one signal?

Suppose that a magazinemagazine predicted that Candidate A would defeat Candidate B in a certain election. They conducted a poll of its subscribersits subscribers with a response rate of 2424%. On the basis of the results, the magazinemagazine predicted that Candidate A would win with 57% of the popular vote. However, Candidate B won the election with about 62% of the popular vote. At the time of this poll, most subscribers to the magazinesubscribers to the magazine belonged to the party of Candidate A. Name two biases that led to this incorrect prediction.Choose the correct answer below. A.Nonresponse bias: The low response rate caused bias.Response bias: The way the poll was administered showed bias. B.Sampling bias: Using an incorrect frame led to undercoverage.Nonresponse bias: The low response rate caused bias. C.Sampling bias: Using an incorrect frame led to undercoverage.Response bias: The way the poll was administered showed bias. Click to select your answer.
Figures obtained from a city's police department seem to indicate that of all motor vehicles reported as stolen, 63% were stolen by professionals (P), whereas 37% were stolen by amateurs (primarily for joy rides) (A). Of the vehicles presumed stolen by professionals, 25% were recovered within 48 hours (R<48), 23% were recovered after 48 hours (R>48), and 52% were never recovered (N). Of the vehicles presumed stolen by amateurs, 33% were recovered within 48 hours, 63% were recovered after 48 hours, and 4% were never recovered. (b) What is the probability that a vehicle stolen by a professional in this city will be recovered within 48 hours?(c) What is the probability that a vehicle stolen in this city will never be recovered? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
Anita's, a fast-food chain specializing in hot dogs and garlic fries, keeps track of the proportion of its customers who decide to eat in the restaurant (as opposed to ordering the food "to go") so it can make decisions regarding the possible construction of in-store play areas, the attendance of its mascot Sammy at the franchise locations, and so on. Anita's reports that 52% of its customers order their food to go. Suppose that this proportion is correct and that a random sample of 40 individual customers is taken. Answer the following. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) Estimate the number of customers in the sample who order their food to go by giving the mean of the relevant distribution (that is, the expectation of the relevant random variable). Do not round your response. (b) Quantify the uncertainty of your estimate by giving the standard deviation of the distribution. Round your response to at least three decimal places. acer DII %23 $4 @ 3. 2 t r e tab f d
