Q6. (10%) Figure below shows the mean values of the cash flows associated with some investment. The initial investment is known and is not a random variable. The other cash flows are independent random variables with Normal distributions. In each case the standard deviation of the cash flow is one quarter of the mean value (o .25p). Compute the mean and standard deviation of the NPW of the cash flow. Accept or reject the investment based on the expected value. Compute the probability that this investment yields a returm greater than the MARR. The MARR is 10%. $1.000 S800 $600 $400 $200 Year $2,000

The average speeds of cars on a highway are distributed according to a normal distribution. Today, John is on his way to work. As he enters the highway, he notices a car speeding by at 150 km/hr. Ten seconds later, another car speeds by at 160 km/hr. John concludes that today, cars must be going faster for some reason. A few minutes later, John gets into a minor accident. Once again, he concludes that it was inevitable - he got into the accident because cars were driving faster today. Explain what fallacies - if any-are involved in both of John's claims. Is John justified in his conclusions?
