(3) The Elon Company manufactures parts for an aircraft company using three
computerized numerical controlled (CNC) turning centers. The company has to
decide which machines are capable of producing a specific part with design
specifications of 0.0970 inch ± 0.015 inch. The machines have the following
parameters: Machine 1 (x= 0.0995, o = 0.004); Machine 2 ( = 0.1002, o = 0.009);
Machine 3 (x = 0.095, o = 0.005). Determine which machines (if any) can produce
the products within the design specifications.

Suppose that you are the manager of JCPenney store. Your goal is to increase and control the rate at which store cashiers can successfully sign customers up for JCPenney credit cards. To this end, for each of the eight store cashiers, you observed 50 interactions where the cashier made an attempt to sign a customer up for credit card. The data showed that there was a total of 16 cases in which the cashiers could successfully sign the customer up for a credit card. Now, if you do not want the lower limit to be below .0052, what z-value would this imply? How confident can you be that the actual lower limit is greater than or equal to .0052?

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 prospec- tive program and issue a report predicting whether the given programwill 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.a. What is the maximum value of C that the network should be willing to pay the market research firm?b. Calculate and interpret EVPI for this decision problem.arrow_forward

- 4. A credit rating company recommends granting of credit cards based on several criteria. One is annual income. If the annual income of applicants is normally dis- tributed with mean $22,000 and standard deviation $4,800 and the company recommends no applicant unless his or her income exceeds $15,000, what fraction of the applicants are denied on this basis?arrow_forwardYou now have 5000. You will toss a fair coin four times. Before each toss you can bet any amount of your money (including none) on the outcome of the toss. If heads comes up, you win the amount you bet. If tails comes up, you lose the amount you bet. Your goal is to reach 15,000. It turns out that you can maximize your chance of reaching 15,000 by betting either the money you have on hand or 15,000 minus the money you have on hand, whichever is smaller. Use simulation to estimate the probability that you will reach your goal with this betting strategy.arrow_forwardIn this version of dice blackjack, you toss a single die repeatedly and add up the sum of your dice tosses. Your goal is to come as close as possible to a total of 7 without going over. You may stop at any time. If your total is 8 or more, you lose. If your total is 7 or less, the house then tosses the die repeatedly. The house stops as soon as its total is 4 or more. If the house totals 8 or more, you win. Otherwise, the higher total wins. If there is a tie, the house wins. Consider the following strategies: Keep tossing until your total is 3 or more. Keep tossing until your total is 4 or more. Keep tossing until your total is 5 or more. Keep tossing until your total is 6 or more. Keep tossing until your total is 7 or more. For example, suppose you keep tossing until your total is 4 or more. Here are some examples of how the game might go: You toss a 2 and then a 3 and stop for total of 5. The house tosses a 3 and then a 2. You lose because a tie goes to the house. You toss a 3 and then a 6. You lose. You toss a 6 and stop. The house tosses a 3 and then a 2. You win. You toss a 3 and then a 4 for total of 7. The house tosses a 3 and then a 5. You win. Note that only 4 tosses need to be generated for the house, but more tosses might need to be generated for you, depending on your strategy. Develop a simulation and run it for at least 1000 iterations for each of the strategies listed previously. For each strategy, what are the two values so that you are 95% sure that your probability of winning is between these two values? Which of the five strategies appears to be best?arrow_forward
