An online retailer specializing in custom dog toys is considering launching brick-and-mortar stores in Upstate South Carolina. They have an opportunity to open a
spot on Woodruff Road in Greenville, South Carolina next month at an upfront cost of $50,000. They believe
this location has a 60% chance of success and a 40% chance of failure. If the location is
successful, then it will bring the company a total of $350,000 in net profits over its lifetime.
If the location is unsuccessful, then it will lose the company an additional $100,000.
Complicating the Woodruff Road location decision is the fact that the company has identified
an additional location in downtown Clemson. They do not need to decide on opening this
additional location now; they need to decide in about 11 months whether to open it 12 months
from now. The Clemson location has an upfront cost of $30,000. Without any additional
information, the company believes it has a 70% of success and a 30% chance of failure. If…
1. Suppose an electronics store offers an extended warranty on a cell phone that covers screenrepair and camera repair and will cost $9.99 per month. Suppose there is a 14% chance ofneeding a screen repair in the next year and an 11% chance of needing a camera repair.Suppose a screen repair will cost the store $155 and a camera repair will cost the store $79.How much annual profit does the store expect for each warranty purchased?
2. Suppose there is a probability of 4/5 that you will get an A on any given exam. Create atable giving the probability distribution for the number of A’s that you could get if you taketwo exams.
To the Internal Revenue Service, the reasonableness of total itemized deductions depends on the taxpayer's adjusted gross income. Large deductions, which include charity and medical deductions, are more reasonable for taxpayers with large adjusted gross incomes. If a taxpayer claims larger than average itemized deductions for a given level of income, the chances of an IRS audit are increased. Data (in thousands of dollars) on adjusted gross income and the average or reasonable amount of itemized deductions follow.

Develop a scatter diagram for these data with adjusted gross income as the independent variable.
(b)
Use the least squares method to develop the estimated regression equation that can be used to predict itemized deductions (in $1,000s) given the adjusted gross income (in $1,000s). (Round your numerical values to three decimal…

- To the Internal Revenue Service, the reasonableness of total itemized deductions depends on the taxpayer's adjusted gross income. Large deductions, which include charity and medical deductions, are more reasonable for taxpayers with large adjusted gross incomes. If a taxpayer claims larger than average itemized deductions for a given level of income, the chances of an IRS audit are increased.

- Analysts have determined that an upcoming business deal, which costs the company $40000 to initiate, has a 10% chance of generating $300000 of revenue, and a 60% chance of generating $80000 of revenue. Otherwise, the program will generate no revenue at all. On average, how much money will this type of business deal make or lose for the company?arrow_forwardA local club plans to invest 10,000 php to host a baseball game. They expect to sell tickets worth 15,000 php. But if it rains on the day of the game, they won't sell any tickets and the club will lose all the money invested. If the weather forecast for the day of the game is a 20% possibility of rain, is this a good investment?

It operate problems would be greatly reduced. Since it takes approximately six weeks to receive 90% of the response to a given campaign, an accurate prediction of total sales made as late as the end of the first week of receiving orders would be useful. The first week’s sales and total sales of the last 12 campaigns of the firm are shown below. Can the first week’s sales be used to predict total sales?

- According to a study administered by the National Bureau of Economic Research, half of Americans would struggle to come up with $2000 in the event of a financial emergency. The majority of the 1900 Americans surveyed said they would rely on more than one method to come up with emergency funds if required. In the survey, 397 people said that they "certainly" would not be able to cope with an unexpected $2000 bill if they had to come up with the money in 30 days, and 553 people said they "probably" would not be able to cope. Step 1 of 2 : What percentage of Americans "certainly" would not be able to produce $2000 in the event of an emergency according to the study? Round your answer to one decimal place, if necessary.arrow_forwardAn analyst in the real estate business is interested in the relationship between the cost of the monthly rent of an apartment and the size of an apartment, in big cities. She gathers data for apartment buildings in 12 cities in 12 different states. In each city, she gets the numbers for at least 5 different buildings and at least 40 apartments in each building. She reaches the following conclusion: the rental cost of a 2-bedroom apartment is 50% more than the rental cost of a 1-bedroom apartment, and the rental cost of a 3-bedroom apartment is 50% more than the rental cost of a 2-bedroom apartment. Based on the paragraph, what is the minimum number of apartments she collected data on? Do you think her sample was large enough to be statistically valid? Based on the paragraph, are there any apartments or apartment buildings that she would have excluded from her study? Do you see any bias in how she selected apartments for her study? Based on the paragraph, is there a positive…arrow_forwardThe trend in home building in recent years has been to emphasize open spaces and great rooms, rather than smaller living rooms and family rooms. A builder of speculative homes in the college community of Oxford, Ohio, had been building such homes, but his homes had been taking many months to sell and had been selling for substantially less than the asking price. In order to determine what types of homes would attract residents of the community, the builder contacted a statistician at a local college. The statistician went to a local real estate agency and obtained the data contained in file OxHome. This data includes the sales price (measured in thousand dollars), square footage, number of rooms, number of bedrooms, and age for each of 60 single-family residences recently sold in the community. Using this data, a regression model was built to predict the sales price of houses in this community. The regression equation from the model is: sales price (thousand dollars) = 19.5 + 0.1079…arrow_forward

The plane can hold 100 people. It costs $8000 to fly an empty plane. Each person on the plane incurs variable costs of $30 (for food and fuel). If the flight is overbooked, anyone who cannot get a seat receives $300 in compensation. On average, 95% of all people who have a reservation show up for the flight. To maximize profit, how many reservations for the flight should you book? Hint: You can assume that the number of people that show up for a flight follows a binomial random variable.arrow_forward
