Joseph Bryan owns his own snow-cone business and lives 30 miles from a California beach resort. The sale of snow-cones is highly dependent on his location and on the weather. At the resort, his profit will be $120 per day in fair weather, $10 per day in bad weather. At home, his profit will be $70 in fair weather and $55 in bad weather. Assume that on any particular day, the weather service suggests a 40% chance of foul weather. Construct Joseph’s decision tree.

A man buys a racehorse for $25,000 and enters it in two races. He plans to sell the horse afterward, hoping to make a profit. If the horse wins both races, its value will jump to $105,000. If it wins one of the races, it will be worth $65,000. If it loses both races, it will be worth only $10,000. The man believes there is a 30% chance that the horse will win the first race and a 35% chance that it will win the second one. Assuming that the two races are independent events, find the man's expected profit.
A friend who lives in Los Angeles makes frequent consulting trips to Washington, D.C.; 60% of the time she travels on airline # 1, 20% of the time on airline on airline # 3. For airline #1, flights are late into D.C. 40% of the time and late into L.A. 15% of the time. For airline #2, these percentages are 35% and 10%. If we learn that on a particular trip she arrived late at exactly one of the two destinations, and # 3? Assume that the chance of a late arrival in L.A. is unaffected by what happens on the flight to D.C. [Hint: second-generation branches labeled, respectively, 0 late, 1 late, and 2 late.] (Round your answers to four decimal airline #1 airline #2 airline #3 20% of the time whereas #2, and the remaining percentages for airline #3 the what are flown on airlines From the tip of each first-generation branch on a tree diagram, draw three places.) the posterior of having #1, #2, and 15%, probabilities are 35%

. In 2010, of a total of 67,000 rooms on the Las Vegas Strip, Caesars Entertainment managed 22,880, while MGM Resorts managed over 12,000. However, owing to the Great Recession and new hotel openings, between 2008 and 2010, MGM's hotel occupancy decreased from 92% to 89%, while its average daily room rate fell from $148 to $108. Meanwhile, CityCenter, managed by MGM Resorts, and the Cosmopolitan opened with 4,000 and 3,000 rooms respectively, and the 1,720-room Sahara closed. (Sources: Caesars Entertainment Corp., Annual Report 2010; MGM Resorts, Annual Report 2010; "Sahara's closure on May 16 will mark `the end of an era'," Las Vegas Sun, March 11, 2011.) (a) Using a suitable figure, explain how the opening of CityCenter and the Cosmopolitan affects the residual demand for an existing hotel and how it should adjust prices. (b) If MGM Resorts had not reduced its room rates, what would have been the effect on occupancy? (c) Use the Cournot model to explain…

An analyst in the real estate business is interested in the relationship between the cost of the monthly rent of an apartment and the size of an apartment, in big cities. She gathers data for apartment buildings in 12 cities in 12 different states. In each city, she gets the numbers for at least 5 different buildings and at least 40 apartments in each building. She reaches the following conclusion: the rental cost of a 2-bedroom apartment is 50% more than the rental cost of a 1-bedroom apartment, and the rental cost of a 3-bedroom apartment is 50% more than the rental cost of a 2-bedroom apartment. Based on the paragraph, what is the minimum number of apartments she collected data on? Do you think her sample was large enough to be statistically valid? Based on the paragraph, are there any apartments or apartment buildings that she would have excluded from her study? Do you see any bias in how she selected apartments for her study? Based on the paragraph, is there a positive…

The past records of a supermarket show that its customers spend an average of $110 per visit at this store. Recently the management of the store initiated a promotional campaign according to which each customer receives points based on the total money spent at the store, and these points can be used to buy products at the store. The management expects that as a result of this campaign, the customers should be encouraged to spend more money at the store. To check whether this is true, the manager of the store took a sample of 14 customers who visited the store. The following data give the money (in dollars) spent by these customers at this supermarket during their visits. 106.13 107.43 124.68 124.88 101.17 72.75 85.45 86.05 100.4 98.84 101.63 95.56 89.40 119.52 Assume that the money spent by all customers at this supermarket has a normal distribution.
