QUESTION 23 The government is considering to implement a water pollution control measure that will cost $8,554,920. The benefits of the polic will depend on the amount of rain that might fall on the city. There are three possible scenarios: high, normal, and low rain. The probability of high rain is 27% and if there is high rain the benefits of the water pollution measure are $5,203,833. The probability of normal rain is 45% and if there is high rain the benefits of the water pollution measure are $5,724,919 The probability of low rain is 100%-27% - 45% and if there is low rain the benefits of the water pollution measure are $9,306,477. What are the expected benefits of this water pollution policy?

Question 2 Kroft Food Products is attempting to decide whether it should introduce a new line of salad dressings called Special Choices. The company can test market the salad dressings in selected geographic areas or bypass the test market and introduce the product nationally. The cost of the test maker is $150,000. If the company conducts the test market, it must wait to see the results before deciding whether to introduce the salad dressings nationally. The probability of a positive test market result is estimated to be 0.6. Alternatively, the company can decide can decide not to conduct the test market and go ahead and make the decisions to introduce the dressings or not. If the salad dressings are introduced nationally and are a success, the company estimates that it will realize an annual profit of $1.6 million, whereas if the dressing fails, it will incur a loss of $700,000. The company believes the probability of success for the salad dressings is 0.50, if they are introduced…

Question 6 options: If you had taken another poll, there is a 95% chance that somewhere between 51.8% and 42.2% of people polled would download movies. If you had taken another poll, there is a 90% chance that somewhere between 51.8% and 42.2% of people polled would download movies. If you had taken another poll, there is a 19% chance that somewhere between 49.4% and 44.6% of people polled would download movies. If you had taken another poll, there is a 95% chance that somewhere between 49.4% and 44.6% of people polled would download movies.
Problem 5 An engineering project management firm divides projects into three risk categories: 70% of projects are low risk, 20% are medium risk, and 10% are high risk. Based on historical data, a low risk has a 0.03 probability of not being completed on time, a medium risk project has a 0.11 probability of not being completed on time, and a high risk project has a 0.23 probability of not being completed on time. a. What is the probability that the project is low risk and is completed on time? b. What is the probability that a project is not completed on time? c. Given that the project was not completed on time, what is the probability that it was considered to be low risk?
Many states mandate tests that have to be passed in order for the students to graduate with a high school diploma. A local school superintendent believes that after-school tutoring will improve the scores of students in his district on the state's graduation test. As a trial run, a tutor agrees to work with 15 students for a month. The superintendent ask the school board to implement this after-school tutoring program if there is evidence that student scores would increase by an average of more than 20 points. Create a 95% confident level to estimate the true score increase. 25.4 23.3 17.8 21.3 14.8 28.8 22.5 23.6 32.3 15.4 23.4 27.5 18.8 19.1 20.4 a. Confidence Interval b. Conclusion

A researcher is studying two types of medication that both treat hives. 23 out of the random sample of 270 adults given medication A still had hives 30 minutes after taking the medication. 15 out of another random sample of 300 adults given medication B still had hives 30 minutes after taking the medication. Test to see if the proportion of people who still had hives after medicine A is different than the proportion of people who still had hives after medicine B. Use a 0.01 level of significance. The correct hypotheses are: Ho:PA PB (claim) Ho :PA PB H A:PA < PB (claim) Но :РА На :РА # рв (claim) = PB Since the level of significance is 0.01 the critical value is 2.576 and -2.576 The test statistic is: 1.684 x (round to 3 places) The p-value is: 0.092 x (round to 3 places) The decision can be made to:
On the Great Stark island, the likelihood of a residential fire is evenly distributed at 12 per month. Residents are evenly distributed along the 64-mile perimeter of the island. The government is providing fire protection, and a fire department's fixed cost is $60,000 per month. If the travel cost to fight a fire is $2,500 per mile, what is the optimal number of fire departments?
