Suppose your friend is playing the online game War of Worldcraft, and they’re running anevent where players will receive special bonuses at random times. Assume the wait time fromwhen your friend logs in to when they receive a bonus (in hours) is exponentially distributedwith parameter λ = 1/250 .(a) What is the probability your friend will receive a bonus within the first 3hours after logging in?(b) What is the probability your friend will receive a bonus between 5 and 13hours after logging in?(c) Suppose they’ve been playing for 5 hours, without receiving a bonus, and it’snow their bedtime. Here’s how you can use probability to help convince them to stopplaying and go to sleep: What is the conditional probability that they will get a bonuswithin 8 hours of additional play?

A toy factory produces battery operated toy robots for toddlers. Previous research shows that the lifetimes of these robots are Exponentially distributed with mean 6 months on regular use. A retailer buys 15 of these robots to sell. What is the probability that exactly 5 of these robots will last at least 8 months?
The following graph plots the fitted probabilities of default (y axis) depending on the credit balance (x axis) with the linear probability model (left) and the logistic model (right). Which alternative is NOT correct 500 1000 1500 2000 2500 500 1000 1500 2000 2500 Balance Balance O a. There will always be a balance level such that the probability of default according to the linear probability model is above 100% O b. The logit model supposes that the error term of the latent variable follows a logistic distribution O C. The linear probability model estimates probabilities of default below 0% Od.

.A new, miracle diabetes drug that diminishes major symptoms of diabetes has been approved by the FDA. Health care professionals and researchers believe that the new drug will prolong lifespan of diabetes patients. If the population is in steady state and the incidence is constant, what will the effect of this new drug be on the prevalence of diabetes in the population? Explain.
1. ABC inc. stock is currently selling for $30, one year from today the stock price can either increase by 20% or decrease by 15%. The probability of an increase in the stock price is equal to 0.3. The one-year risk-free rate is 5% What is the value of a European put that expires in one year with an exercise price of $24. 2. Graphically, show the value and the profit and loss of the following butterfly position: Long in a call with an exercise price of $30, short in 2 calls with an exercise price of $45, and long in a call with an exercise price of 60. All calls are written on the same stock and have the same maturity. 3.

Please use excel formulas when possible: You have a device that uses a single battery, and you operate this device continuously, never turning it off. Whenever a battery fails, you replace it with a brand new one immediately. Suppose the lifetime of a typical batteryhas an exponential distribution with mean 205 minutes. Suppose you operate the device continuously for three days, making battery changes when necessary. Find the probability that you will observe at least 25 failures. (Hint: The number of failures is Poisson distributed.) In the previous problem, we ran the experiment for a certain number of days and then asked about the number of failures. In this problem, we take a different point of view. Suppose you operate the device, starting with a new battery, until you have observed 25 battery failures. What is the probability that at least 15 of these 25 batteries lived at least 3.5 hours? (Hint: Each lifetime is exponentially distributed
A microprocessor that controls the tuner in color TVs fails completely at random (that is, according to the exponential distribution). Suppose that the likelihood that a microprocessor that has survived for k years fails in year k + 1 is .0036. What is the cumulative distribution function of the time until failure of the microprocessor?
The useful life of Johnson rods for use in a particular vehicle follows an exponential distribution with an average useful life of 5.2 years.You have a three-year warranty on your vehicle’s Johnson rod. What is the probability that the Johnson rod doesn’t fail before then? That is, what is the probability that its useful life doesn’t end before three years?b.If the vehicle manufacturer wants to limit the number of claims on the three-year warranty to 20%, what should the average useful life of the Johnson rod be?
2 The operator of a pumping station has observed that demand for water during early afternoon hours has an approximately exponential distribution with mean 100 cfs (cubic feet per second). (a) Find the probability that the demand will exceed 250 cfs during the early afternoon on a randomly selected day. (Round your answer to four decimal places.) (b) What water-pumping capacity, in cubic feet per second, should the station maintain during early afternoons so that the probability that demand will exceed capacity on a randomly selected day is only 0.02? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) cfs
