A large operator of timeshare complexes requires anyone interested in making a purchase to first visit the site of interest. Historical data indicates that 20% of all potential purchasers select a day visit, 50% choose a one-night visit, and 30% opt for a two-night visit. In addition, 20% of day visitors ultimately make a purchase, 50% of one-night visitors buy a unit, and 40% of those visiting for two nights decide to buy. Suppose a visitor is randomly selected and is found to have made a purchase. How likely is it that this person made a day visit? (Round your answer to three decimal places.) How likely is it that this person made a one-night visit? (Round your answer to three decimal places.) How likely is it that this person made a two-night visit? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

Suppose you are a production manager for a small firm that manufactures designer phone cases. Your production facility utilizes three machines. Quality is binary — each phone case is either defective or it is not defective. Each hour, Machines 1, 2, and 3 produce 10, 10 and 20 phone cases, respectively. But because the machines differ slightly in their technology, data on past production has shown that they differ in terms of their rates of defective output — specifically, Machines 1, 2, and 3 have rates of defective production of 2%, 4%, and 5%, respectively. If one phone case is selected randomly from one hour’s total output, and that phone case is found to be defective, what is the probability that it was produced by Machine 1? Machine 2? Machine 3?
The U.S. Department of Transportation reported that during November, 83.4% of Southwest Airlines' flights, 75.1% of US Airways' flights, and 70.1% of JetBlue's flights arrived on time (USA Today, January 4, 2007). Assume that this on-time performance is applicable for flights arriving at concourse A of the Rochester International Airport, and that 40% of the arrivals at concourse Aare Southwest Airlines flights, 35% are US Airways flights, and 25% are jetBlue flights. a) Deveiop a joint probability table with three rows (airlines) and two
Suppose the entire cola industry produces only two colas. Given that a person last purchased cola 1, there a 70% chance that her next purchase will be cola 1. Given that a person last purchased cola 2, there is an 75% chance that her next purchase will be cola 2. Suppose that each customer makes one purchase of cola during any week (52 weeks=1 year). Suppose there are 150 million customers. One selling unit of cola costs the company $0.5 to produce and is sold for $2. For $200 million per year, Britney Spears (by an advertising song) guarantees to decrease from 30% to 15% the fraction of cola 1 customers who switch to cola 2 after a purchase. Should the company that makes cola 1 hire Britney Spears?
In a survey, it was found that 72%of the population of a certain urban area lived in single-family dwellings and 28% in multiple housing. One year later, of those who had been living in single-family dwellings, 89%still did so, but 11% had moved to multiple-family dwellings. Of those in multiple housing, 94%were still living in that type of housing, while 6%had moved to single-family housing. Assume that these trends continue. (a) Write a transition matrix using this information. Set it up so that the first row and first column represent single-family dwellings and the second row and second column represent multiple housing.
Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics indicates that in a certain month, 35.7% of the labor force had a high school diploma or fewer years of education, 29.4% had some college or an associate's degree, and 34.9% had a bachelor's degree or more education. Of those with a high school diploma or fewer years of education, 5.5% were unemployed. Of those with some college or an associate's degree, 4.4% were unemployed, and of those with a bachelor's degree or more education, 2.4% were unemployed. Find the probability that a randomly chosen labor force participant has some college or an associate's degree given that he or she is unemployed. 12 The probability is 0 (Type an integer or decimal rounded to three decimal places as needed.)
The Harriet Hotel in downtown Boston has 100 rooms that rent for $150 per night. It costs the hotel $30 per room in variable costs (cleaning, bathroom items, etc.) each night a room is occupied. For each reservation accepted, there is a 5% chance that the guest will not arrive. If the hotel overbooks, it costs $200 to compensate guests whose reservations cannot be honored. How many reservations should the hotel accept if it wants to maximize the average daily profit?
In a study carried out among low-income families in the young towns of Detroit, it was found that 30% spent less than $8 weekly on purchasing charcoal and consumed products from soup kitchens. 35% spent $8 to $15 weekly on the purchase of charcoal. 5% spent more than $15 weekly on the purchase of charcoal and consumed products from the soup kitchen. 15% spent more than $15 each week buying coal. Finally, 55% did not consume the products of the soup kitchens.If you randomly choose a low-income familyto. What is the probability that you spend less than $8 weekly on purchasing coal?b. What is the probability that you do not consume the products of the soup kitchens and spend 8 to 15 dollars buying charcoal?C. If the family spends more than $15 weekly on purchasing charcoal, what is the probability that they will not consume the products from the soup kitchens?d. If the family does not consume products from soup kitchens, what is the probability that it will spend less than 8 soles per…
a) The analysts’ stock recommendations are of considerable interest to investors. A study looking at the subsequent performance of new buy and sell recommendations by analysts over a period of time found the following results: Successful Unsuccessful New Buy 957 1233 New Sell 503 221 Note: A buy recommendation is ‘successful’ if the stock outperforms the benchmark by at least 4% over the next year. A sell recommendation is ‘successful’ if the stock underperforms the benchmark by at least 2% over the next year. (iii) What is the probability that a chosen recommendation is either a new buy or successful?
