Model File Available:Major League Baseball's World Series is a maximum of seven games, with the winner being the first team to win four games. Assume that the Atlanta Braves and the Minnesota Twins are playing in theWorld Series and that the first two games are to be played in Atlanta, the next three games at the Twins' ballpark, and the last two games, if necessary, back in Atlanta. Taking into account the projectedstarting pitchers for each game and the home field advantage, suppose the probabilities of Atlanta winning each game are as follows.GameProbability of Win1230.59 0.54 0.4940.4650.4960.5470.49Construct a simulation model in which whether Atlanta wins or loses each game is a random variable. Use the model to answer the following questions. (Use at least 1,000 trials.)(a) What is the average number of games played regardless of winner? (Round your answer to one decimal place.)games(b) What is the probability that the Atlanta Braves win the World Series? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

A shoe company wants to determine if the new tread on its top line of running shoes lasts longer than the original tread. The company recruits 50 runners for a study. Each runner will perform their typical workout wearing one shoe with the original tread on one foot and another shoe with the new tread on the other foot. The foot that wears the new type of tread will be decided by flipping a coin. After one month, the runner will wear the new type of tread on the opposite foot. At the end of the second month, the difference in tread wear (New - Original) will be calculated. What type of sampling is described in this study? What is the appropriate inference procedure? one-sample t-test for μ one-sample z-test for p one-sample t-test for diff two-sample t-test for new original

Two construction companies, Giant and Sky, bid for the right to build in a field. The possible bids are $ 10 Million, $ 20 Million, $ 30 Million, $ 35 Million and $ 40 Million. The winner is the company with the higher bid. The two companies decide that in the case of a tie (equal bids), Giant is the winner and will get the field. Giant has ordered a survey and, based on the report from the survey, concludes that getting the field for more than $ 35 Million is as bad as not getting it (assume loss), except in case of a tie (assume win). Sky is not aware of this survey. (a) State reasons why/how this game can be described as a two-players-zero-sum game (b) Considering all possible combinations of bids, formulate the payoff matrix for the game. (c) Explain what is a saddle point. Verify: does the game have a saddle point? (d) Construct a linear programming model for Company Giant in this game. (e) Produce an appropriate code to solve the linear programming model in part (d). (f)…
A sporting goods store announces a "Wheel of Savings" sale. Customers select the merchandise they want to purchase, then at the cash register they spin a wheel to determine the size of the discount they will receive. The wheel is divided into 12 regions, like a clock. Six of those regions are red, and award a 10% discount. The three white regions award a 20% discount and two blue regions a 40% discount. The remaining region is gold, and a customer whose lucky spin lands there gets a 100% discount - the merchandise is free! Determine each of the probabilities. Explain your answer. 10 a) What is the probability that a customer gets at least a 40% 10 100 discount? 40 10 10 20 20 10 10 | 40 20
e. A television producer designed a program that will include a comedy and advertisements. The advertiser insists on at least 4 minutes of advertising time. The producer insists on not more than 8 minutes of advertisement. The comedian insists on at least 5 minutes of the comedy portion. The total time allotted for the comedy and advertisement cannot exceed one hour. If it has been determined that each minute of advertising attracts 400,000 viewers and each minute of the comedy program attracts 405,000 viewers, how many minutes should be given to each of the comedy and advertisement in order to maximize the number of viewers?
A twenty-something single person is planning a ski vacation. Assume that he has 2 possible destinations: Utah, and Oregon. There are 4 ski areas in Utah with 4 available times for 3 of the areas, and 1 times for the other area. There are 4 ski areas in Oregon with 2 available times for 3 of the areas, and 4 times for the other area. (A "time" refers to a weekend for which there are vacancies at the ski lodge.) A trip plan involves the selection of a location, ski area, and a time. How many possible plans are there?

The Ancient Murrelet is a plucky little bird of the auk family that lives in colonies on islands off the northern Pacific coasts of Russia, Alaska and Canada. Half of the world population breeds on the islands of Haida Gwaii, British Columbia. Since these birds lay their eggs in burrows on the forest floor, the nestlings are highly susceptible to predation. Their populations have been greatly reduced over the past century by mammalian predators (deer, raccoons, rats) introduced to their breeding islands after contact was established between the Haida people and outsiders. Conservation efforts have only recently been undertaken. A multi-year population study on one island, now closed to human visitors, has produced the following function that describes the observable decline: P(t) = 5-√√2t+4 where P(t) is the island population in thousands and t is the time in years since January 1, 2008, when the study was started. The goal is to graph and interpret this function in this problem…
The production schedule at Mazda calls for 1,150 Mazdas to be produced during each of 22 production days in January and 1,250 Mazdas to be produced during each of 20 production days in February. Mazda uses a kanban system to communicate with Gesundheit, a nearby supplier of tires. Mazda purchases four tires per vehicle from the Gesundheit. The safety stock policy variable, a, is 0.09. The container (a delivery truck) size is 300 tires. The average waiting time plus material handling time is 0.25 day per container. Assembly lines are rebalanced at the beginning of each month. The average processing per container in January is 0.30 day. February processing time will average 0.10 day per container. How many containers should be authorized for January? containers.

Camp Rainbow offers overnight summer camp programs for children ages 10 to 14 every summer during June and July. Each camp session is one week and can accommodate up to 200 children. The camp is not coed, so boys attend during the odd-numbered weeks and girls attend during the even-numbered weeks. While at the camp, participants make crafts, participate in various sports, help care for the camp's resident animals, have cookouts and hayrides, and help assemble toys for local underprivileged children. The camp provides all food.as well as materials for all craft classes and the toys to be assembled. One cabin can accommodate up to 10 children, and one camp counselor is assigned to each cabin. Three camp managers are on-site regardless of the number of campers enrolled.
