This is the most likely amount of money you will win. You will win this much if you play a game. d. Based on the expected value, should you play this game? Yes, because you can win $11.00 which is greater than the $7.00 that you can lose. Yes, since the expected value is positive, you would be very likely to come home with more money if you played many games. Yes, since the expected value is 0, you would be very likely to come very close…

20.20 Life insurance. You might sell insurance to a 20-year-old friend. The probability that a man aged 20 will die in the next year is about 0.0007. You decide to charge $2000 for a policy that will pay $1 million if your friend dies. a. What is your expected profit on this policy? b. Although you expect to make a good profit, you would be foolish to sell a single policy only to your friend. Why? c. A life insurance company that sells thousands of policies, on the other hand, would do very well selling policies on exactly these same terms. Explain why

4. In operations management, you learn that intermittent systems produce a variety of products one at a time (or in batches) to customer order. These systems contrast with continuous systems, in which a large number of homogeneous products are produced. One feature of intermittent systems is that new orders arrive at irregular intervals. For example, orders for business letterhead may come into the Ben Franklin Print Shop at the rate of .5 per day. What is the probability that the time between two orders is less than one day?
Suppose 58.8% of small businesses experience cash flow problems in their first 5 years. A consultant takes a random sample of 557 businesses that have been opened for 5 years or less.

2. Statistical measures of stand-alone risk Remember, the expected value of a probability distribution is a statistical measure of the average (mean) value expected to occur during a possible circumstances. To compute an asset's expected return under a range of possible circumstances (or states of nature), multiply the anticipated return expected to result during each state of nature by its probability of occurrence. Consider the following case: Ethan owns a two-stock portfolio that invests in Happy Dog Soap Company (HDS) and Black Sheep Broadcasting (BSB). Three- quarters of Ethan's portfolio value consists of HDS's shares, and the balance consists of BSB's shares. Each stock's expected return for the next year will depend on forecasted market conditions. The expected returns from the stocks in different market conditions are detailed in the following table: Market Condition Probability of Occurrence Happy Dog Soap Black Sheep Broadcasting Strong 0.50 50% 70% Normal 0.25 30% 40% Weak…
