(a) Find the average number of cars sold each week at each dealership. Dahl cars Farthington cars (b) If Roger's objective is to purchase the dealership that generates the higher weekly profit, which dealership should he purchase? (Compare the expected weekly profit for each dealership.) The expected weekly profit from Dahl Motors is $ . The expected weekly profit from Farthington Auto Sales is $ . Therefore, Roger should purchase

You are waiting tables on the side, in order to make rent. You pick up one shift (one day, determined at random) per week. Business is very predictable - on Mondays, 10 tables are occupied with patrons, on Tuesdays, 20 tables, Wednesdays 30 tables, 40 tables on Thursdays and 50 on Fridays. You can assume that you make $10 in tips per table. Your annual rent is $14,400. What is the probability that you are able to make rent from this job, this year? (assuming you work all 52 weeks without a vacation or break)?
1. Researchers are interested in the relationship between vaping and upper respiratory infections. Suppose that 15% of their population of interest has vaped in the past year and 25% have had an upper respiratory infection in the past year. In addition, they know that 10% have both vaped and had an upper respiratory infection in the past year. What percent of the population has neither vaped nor had an upper respiratory infection in the past year? b. What is the probability of having an upper respiratory infection in the past year given that the person has vaped in the past year? What is the complement of the event in part b)? Be sure to interpret this probability in the context of the problem. a. C. d. What is the probability of having an upper respiratory infection in the past year given that the person has not vaped in the past year? Are the two events independent? Be sure to justify your answer. Based on your calculations what can you conclude about the relationship between vaping…

An investment counselor calls with a hot stock tip. He believes that if the economy remains strong, the investment will result in a profit of $40,000. If the economy grows at a moderate pace, the investment will result in a profit of $20,000. However, if the economy goes into recession, the investment will result in a loss of $40,000. You contact an economist who believes there is a 20% probability the economy will remain strong, a 70% probability the economy will grow at a moderate pace, and a 10% probability the economy will slip into recession. What is the expected profit from this investment?
