The Law of total ProbabilityQ4 Problem 4: A company that manufactures video cameras produces a basic model,intermediate model and a deluxe model. Over the past year, 40% of the cameras soldhave been of the basic model; 20% of the intermediate model; 40% of the deluxe model.Of those buying the basic model, 2% purchase an extended warranty, whereas 2% for anintermediate model and 3% for a deluxe model.If you learn that a randomly selected purchaser has an extended warranty, how likely is itthat he or she has a intermediate model?

Let A, B and C be the events that the company sold a basic, Intermediate model and a deluxe model,…

A friend who lives in Los Angeles makes frequent consultingtrips to Washington, D.C.; 50% of the time shetravels on airline #1, 30% of the time on airline #2, and the remaining 20% of the time on airline #3. For airline#1, flights are late into D.C. 30% of the time and late intoL.A. 10% of the time. For airline #2, these percentagesare 25% and 20%, whereas for airline #3 the percentagesare 40% and 25%. If we learn that on a particular trip shearrived late at exactly one of the two destinations, whatare the posterior probabilities of having flown on airlines#1, #2, and #3? Assume that the chance of a late arrival inL.A. is unaffected by what happens on the flight to D.C.[Hint: From the tip of each first-generation branch on atree diagram, draw three second-generation brancheslabeled, respectively, 0 late, 1 late, and 2 late.]
A ticket between Corellia and Dantooine (located in a galaxy far far away) sells for $150. The plane can hold 100 people. It costs $8000 to fly an empty plane. Each person on the plane incurs variable costs of $30 (for food and fuel). If the flight is overbooked, anyone who cannot get a seat receives $300 in compensation. On average, 95% of all people who have a reservation show up for the flight. To maximize profit, how many reservations for the flight should you book? Hint: You can assume that the number of people that show up for a flight follows a binomial random variable.
A grocery store is reevaluating the retail price of their oranges. They have a contract where they can purchase oranges for $0.52 per pound. However, this includes high quality oranges (about 40% of the time), low quality oranges (55%), and occasionally rotten fruit (5%). Suppose they sell 80% of all high quality oranges at $1.99 per pound, 65% of all low quality oranges at $1.49 per pound (they offer a sale), and they cannot sell any of the rotten fruit. What is the store's expected profit from a random shipment of 500 pounds of oranges? We do not consider personnel and other overhead costs, only the wholesale cost of the oranges. (Give your answer as a number, no dollar sign included.)
The college graduates of 2000 could hardly have asked for better luck. The unemployment rate dropped to 4.1 % in May 2000- roughly, the lowest level in a generation- and employers were literally scrambling for new hires. Starting salaries rose, many graduating seniors had numerous job offers, and some firms even offered $10,000- $20,000 bonuses to students who signed the dotted line. Three years later, the job market for the Class of 2003 was rather different. U.S. economic growth had slowed to a crawl, and then to a halt. Companies that had stocked up on recent college grads in the tighter labour markets of 1998-2000 found themselves with more than they knew what to do with in 2002 and 2003. They were not eager to hire more. Bonuses and other “perks” disappeared; job offers became scarcer. With the unemployment rate around 6% in May and June of 2003, the job market was far from the worst ever. But it was nothing like the glory days of 2000. YOU ARE REQUIRED TO: (iv) Briefly…
A forest consists of two types of trees; those that are 0-5 ft and those that are taller than 5 ft. Each year, 40% of all 0-5 ft trees die. 10% are sold for $20 each. 30% stay between 0-5 ft and 20% grow more than 5 ft. Each year 50% of all trees taller than 5 ft are sold for $50, 20% are sold for $30 and 30% remain in the forest. A. What is the probability that a 0-5 ft tall tree will die before being sold and if a tree less than 5 ft is planted what is the expected revenue earned from that tree. (not solved with excel please)
Each Friday afternoon, Xiang and Lin both hand out coupons on campus for discount meals at a restaurant located in downtown Iowa City. The restaurant pays Xiang and Lin for their services: Depending on the number of coupons redeemed (used) by customers, Xiang and Lin possibly earn either nothing, $20 (this happens on 20% of Fridays for Xiang and on 40% of Fridays for Lin), or $40 (this happens on 40% of Fridays for Xiang and on 20% of Fridays for Lin.) Xiang works east of the river and Lin works west of the river so their earnings are independent. Find Xiang's mean earnings per Friday.
Suppose a company charges a premium of $150 per year for an insurance policy for storm damage to roofs. Actuarial studies show that in case of a storm, the insurance company will pay out an average of $8000 for damage to a composition shingle roof and an average of $12,000 for damage to a shake roof. They also determine that out of every 10,000 policies, there are 7 claims per year made on composition shingle roofs and 11 claims per year made on shake roofs. What is the company’s expected value (i.e., expected profit) per year of a storm insurance policy? What annual profit can the company expect if it issues 1000 such policies? Determine the probability of a composition shingle roof claim out of 10,000 = ______ Determine the probability of a shake roof claim out of 10,000 = ______ How many claims are made out of 10,000? = _______ What is the probability of no claims out of 10,000? = _______ How much does each shingle roof claim cost the company, don’t forget each person pays $150…
Avicenna, an insurance company, offers five-year commercial property insurance policies to small businesses. If the holder of one of these policies experiences property damage in the next five years, the company must pay out $23,600 to the policy holder. Executives at Avicenna are considering offering these policies for $791 each. Suppose that for each holder of a policy there is a 3% chance they will experience property damage in the next five years and a 97% chance they will not. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) If the executives at Avicenna know that they will sell many of these policies, should they expect to make or lose money from offering them? How much? To answer, take into account the price of the policy and the expected value of the amount paid out to the holder. O Avicenna can expect to make money from offering these policies. In the long run, they should expect to make dollars on each policy sold. O Avicenna can expect to lose money from offering these policies.…

Suppose a company charges an annual premium of $110 for an insurance policy for minor injuries. Actuarial studies show that in case of an injury claim, the company will pay out an average of $900 for outpatient care and an average of $3000 for an overnight stay in the hospital. They also determine that, on average, each year there are five claims made that result in outpatient care for every 1000 policies and three claims made that result in an overnight stay out of every 1000 policies. What is the expected annual profit of an insurance policy for the company?
