3. A room has a large circular table with ten seats, numbered 1 to 10, such that to the right of seat number i is seat
number i + 1 for all i ∈ {1, . . . , 9} and to the right of seat 10 is seat 1. We want to assign seats to 10 people, 6 of
them only speak Slovene, 1 of them only speaks English, and the remaining 3 speak both Slovene and English, by
giving out numbered place cards. In how many ways can we do that so that everyone sits next to at least one person
who speaks a common language?
1. A telegraph can transmit two different signals: a dot and a dash. We want to encode the 26 letters of the English
alphabet and the ten digits 0, 1, 2, . . . , 9 using sequences of these two symbols. What is the smallest integer n such
that we can encode all these letters and digits with sequences of length at most n and length at least 1?
Calculating probability for the Standard Normal Curve
1.
Assume the mean is zero, the standard deviation is one, and it is associated with the distribution of z values.
Each problem is worth 2 points, 1 point for drawing out the curve and shading the area requested and 1 point
for the answer.
a. What is the P(z > 0)?
b. What is the P(z < 1.0)?
C. What is the P(z <-1.0)?

Of all programs picked up by this network in recent years, 25% turn out to be hits and 75% turn out to be flops. At a cost of C dollars, a market research firm will analyze a pilot episode of a prospective program and issue a report predicting whether the given program will end up being a hit. If the program is actually going to be a hit, there is a 75% chance that the market researchers will predict the program to be a hit. If the program is actually going to be a flop, there is only a 30% chance that the market researchers will predict the program to be a hit. What is the maximum value of C that the network should be willing to pay the market research firm?

- Two construction companies are bidding against one another for the right to construct a new community center building. The first construction company, Fine Line Homes, believes that its competitor, Buffalo Valley Construction, will place a bid for this project according to the distribution shown in this table: Buffalo Valley's Bid Bid Probability $160,000 0.2 $165,000 0.5 $170,000 0.2 $175,000 0.1 Furthermore, Fine Line Homes estimates that it will cost $160,000 for its own company to construct this building. Given its fine reputation and long-standing service within the local community, Fine Line Homes believes that it will likely be awarded the project in the event that it and Buffalo Valley Construction submit exactly the same bids.
