Chapter 10.1, Problem 20E
In Exercises 19 and 20, suppose a mouse wanders through the given maze, some of whose doors are “one-way”: they are just large enough for the mouse to squeeze through in only one direction. The mouse still must move into a different room at each time step if possible. When faced with accessible openings into two or more rooms, the mouse chooses them with equal probability.
20. The mouse is placed in room 1 of the maze shown below.
- a. Construct a transition matrix and an initial probability
vector for the mouse’s travels. - b. What are the probabilities that the mouse will be in each of the rooms after 3 moves?

It is claimed that a vitamin supplement helps mice learn to run a maze more quickly and, in fact, to beat a non-treated mouse 70% of the time (whereas without the supplement, it would only win half of the time). To test this claim, you divide a group of 20 mice randomly into ten pairs, giving one of each pair the vitamin supplement. You run each pair through the maze and find that seven out of ten of the mice treated with the vitamin supplement beat the untreated mice.
a) What is the probability of obtaining this result if the claim is true?
b) What is the probability of obtaining this result if the claim is false (i.e., the supplement has no effect)?
c) Suppose before you ran this experiment, you thought it was equally likely that the claim was true or false. After running the experiment, what is your belief? What is the updated probability?
Many animals, including humans, tend to avoid directeye contact and even patterns that look like eyes.Some insects, including moths, have evolved eye-spotpatterns on their wings to help ward off predators.Scaife (1976) reports a study examining how eye-spotpatterns affect the behavior of birds. In the study, thebirds were tested in a box with two chambers andwere free to move from one chamber to another. Inone chamber, two large eye-spots were painted onone wall. The other chamber had plain walls. Theresearcher recorded the amount of time each birdspent in the plain chamber during a 60-minute session.Suppose the study produced a mean of M = 34.5 minutes on the plain chamber with SS = 210 for a sample of n = 15 birds. (Note: If the eye spots have no effect,then the birds should spend an average of μ = 30minutes in each chamber.)a. Is this sample sufficient to conclude that the eyespots have a significant influence on the birds’behavior? Use a two-tailed test with α = .05.b. Compute the…
A furniture store has set aside 800 square feet to display its sofas and chairs. Each sofa utilizes 50 sq. ft. and each chair utilizes 30 sq. ft. At least five sofas and at least five chairs are to be displayed.
a.Write a mathematical model representing the store's constraints.
b.Suppose the profit on sofas is $200 and on chairs is $100. On a given day, the probability that a displayed sofa will be sold is .03 and that a displayed chair will be sold is .05. Mathematically formulate each of the following objectives:
(1).Maximize the total pieces of furniture displayed.
(2).Maximize the total expected number of daily sales.
(3).Maximize the total expected daily profit.

- An archery target consists of a gold circle with radius of 5 inches surrounded by a red ring whose diameter is 20 inches. Next, there are three progressively larger rings – blue, black, and white. The diameter of each ring is 10 inches larger than the diameter of the previous ring. John is a beginner so his aim is poor and, if his arrow hits the target, its location on the target is completely at random. John shoots and then yells, “I hit it!” Without using your calculator, find the following probabilities. Write the answers as a percentage. a) The probability his arrow landed in the gold circle is ______. b) The probability his arrow landed in the white area is ______. c) The probability his arrow landed in the red or the blue area is ______.arrow_forwarda) A system consists of four components connected as shown below in the following diagram.

She creates two groups of 25 students each and gives each group the same sight word flashcards. Group A is assigned to practice with the flashcards for 10 minutes every day for their first semester. Group B is not given this assignment. Each group is tasked with keeping a reading log during their second semester. At the end of 1st grade, Dr. Barton counts how many books each group has read. Group A read 68 books, and Group B read 92 books.

During any day, each machine that is working at the beginning of the day has a - chance of breaking down. If a machine breaks down during the day, it is sent to a repair facility and will be working two days after it breaks down. (Thus, if a machine breaks down during day 3, it will be working at the beginning of day 5.) Letting the state of the system be the number of machines working at the beginning of the day, formulate a transition probability matrix for this situation.arrow_forward
