Jean Clark is the manager of the Midtown Saveway Grocery Store. She now needs to replenish her supply of strawberries. Her regular supplier can provide as many cases as she wants. However, because these strawberries already are very ripe, she will need to sell them tomorrow and then discard any that remain unsold. Jean estimates that she will be able to sell 10, 11, 12, or 13 cases tomorrow. She can purchase the strawberries for $3 per case and sell them for $8 per case. Jean now needs to decide how many cases to purchase. Jean has checked the store’s records on daily sales of strawberries. On this basis, she estimates that the prior probabilities are 0.2, 0.4, 0.3, and 0.1 for being able to sell 10, 11, 12, and 13 cases of strawberries tomorrow. 4. If Jean is dubious about the accuracy of these prior probabilities and so chooses to ignore them and use the equally likely criterion, how many cases of strawberries should she purchase? Kindly give me a complete solution to deepen my understanding about the answer to this question. Thank you!

A major league baseball team is ending its season and totaling up concession sales. Looking at receipts they have found that they made $10,486,525 in hot dog sales, $23,451,492 in large drink sales, $4,765,300 in soft pretzel sales and $1,342,653 in nacho sales. If they rounded each item's sales amount to the nearest million, what is the estimated money collected in concession sales?
A publishing company sells 400,000 copies of a certain book each year. Ordering the entire amount printed at the beginning of the year ties up valuable storage space and capital. However, printing the copies in several partial runs throughout the year results in added costs for setting up each printing run, which costs $1000. The carrying costs, figured on the average number of books in storage, are $.50 per book. Find the most economical lot size, that is, the production run size that minimizes the total setting up andcarrying costs.
Sarah studies Business and Management and she also has a part-time job as a waitress at a restaurant. The restaurant does not include service charges in their bills, and therefore Sarah often receives tips from the customers. Some customers give her very generous tips, while others leave hardly anything or nothing at all. Sarah began to wonder what the size of the tip may depend on. Just out of curiosity, she started to keep a record of the total prices on the bills and the tips she received. At first, she fit a simple linear regression model to the data and found that the size of the tip was significantly related to the total price. But at this point, she speculated that the tips may be affected by other factors as well, and an even better model could possibly be constructed by including further independent variables. For instance, the chef who prepares the dish(es) might affect the customers' satisfaction. The restaurant employs three chefs: Richard, Thomas, and Linda. Sarah decides…

Alphonse donates a fair amount of money to various charities each year. He wants to know that his money is actually going to do the charity work, though. Suppose that 90% of the charities that he donates to are probably reputable and 10% are probably not. Also, suppose that 80% of the money that goes to the real charities ends up actually being used for the charity work, while 20% goes to administrative costs. If he donates the same amount to each charity, then what percent probably goes to actual charity work? 72| % SUBMIT ANSWER O ASK FOR HELP TURN IT IN to search 344 111 80 Y U D H. V
The County Theater is an independent entertainment theater that is in the middle of a new renovation to expand their current layout of two screens. With their current renovation plan, they hope to increase their screens to three. As of now, they are still in need of $14,000 to finish the construction project. Through market research completed on their members as well as the greater community, they estimated that each donator would give around $50. As the donations have been coming in over the course of the last 18 months, they believe that the research estimate may have been too high. They created a sample of members consisting of 40 individuals. On average, they are willing to give $40 and the standard deviation for the sample is $1.35. With an alpha of .05, construct an appropriate hypothesis test. If you find that the null hypothesis is not true, what real world circumstance may have affected the research estimate?
