Use Green's Theorem to evaluate F. dr, where
F = (√+4y, 2x + √√)
and C consists of the arc of the curve y = 4x - x² from (0,0) to (4,0) and the line segment from (4,0) to
(0,0).
When a tennis player serves, he gets two chances to serve in bounds. If he fails to do so twice, he loses the point. If he
attempts to serve an ace, he serves in bounds with probability 3/8.If he serves a lob, he serves in bounds with probability
7/8. If he serves an ace in bounds, he wins the point with probability 2/3. With an in-bounds lob, he wins the point with
probability 1/3. If the cost is '+1' for each point lost and '-1' for each point won, the problem is to determine the optimal
serving strategy to minimize the (long-run)expected average cost per point. (Hint: Let state 0 denote point over,two
serves to go on next point; and let state 1 denote one serve left.
(1). Formulate this problem as a Markov decision process by identifying the states and decisions and then finding the

- During each time period, a potential customer arrives at a restaurant with probability 1/2. If there are already two people at the restaurant (including the one being served), the potential customer leaves the restaurant immediately and never returns. However, if there is one person or less, he enters the restaurant and becomes an actual customer. The manager has two types of service configurations available. At the beginning of each period, a decision must be made on which configuration to use. If she uses her "slow" configuration at a cost of $3 and any customers are present during the period, one customer will be served and leave with probability 3/5. If she uses her "fast" configuration at a cost of $9 and any customers are present during the period, one customer will be served and leave with probability 4/5. The probability of more than one customer arriving or more than one customer being served in a period is zero. A profit of $50 is earned when a customer is served. The manager…arrow_forwardEvery Saturday night a man plays poker at his home with the same group of friends. If he provides refreshments for the group (at an expected cost of $14) on any given Saturday night, the group will begin the following Saturday night in a good mood with probability 7/8 and in a bad mood with probability 1/8. However, if he fail to provide refreshments, the group will begin the following Saturday night in a good mood with probability 1/8 and in a bad mood with probability 7/8 regardless of their mood this Saturday. Furthermore, if the group begins the night in a bad mood and then he fails to provide refreshments, the group will gang up on him so that he incurs expected poker losses of $75. Under other circumstances he averages no gain or loss on his poker play. The man wishes to find the policy regarding when to provide refreshments that will minimize his (long-run) expected average cost per week. (1). Formulate this problem as a Markov decision process by identifying the states and…arrow_forwardThis year Amanda decides to invest in two different no-load mutual funds: the G Fund or the L Mutual Fund. At the end of each year, she liquidates her holdings, takes her profits, and then reinvests. The yearly profits of the mutual funds depend on where the market stood at the end of the preceding year. Recently the market has been oscillating around level 2 from one year end to the next, according to the probabilities given in the following transition matrix : L1 L2 L3 L1 0.2 0.4 0.4 L2 0.1 0.4 0.5 L3 0.3 0.3 0.4 Each year that the market moves up (down) 1 level, the G Fund has profits (losses) of $20k, while the L Fund has profits (losses) of $10k. If the market moves up (down) 2 level in a year, the G Fund has profits (losses) of $50k, while the L Fund has profits (losses) of only $20k. If the market does not change, there is no profit or loss for either fund. Amanda wishes to determine her optimal investment policy in order to maximize her (long-run) expected average profit per…arrow_forward
- A researcher wishes to estimate, with 90% confidence, the population proportion of adults who support labeling legislation for genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Her estimate must be accurate within 4% of the true proportion. (a) No preliminary estimate is available. Find the minimum sample size needed. (b) Find the minimum sample size needed, using a prior study that found that 65% of the respondents said they support labeling legislation for GMOs. (c) Compare the results from parts (a) and (b). ... (a) What is the minimum sample size needed assuming that no prior information is available? n = (Round up to the nearest whole number as needed.)arrow_forwardThe table available below shows the costs per mile (in cents) for a sample of automobiles. At a = 0.05, can you conclude that at least one mean cost per mile is different from the others? Click on the icon to view the data table. Let Hss, HMS, HLS, Hsuv and Hмy represent the mean costs per mile for small sedans, medium sedans, large sedans, SUV 4WDs, and minivans respectively. What are the hypotheses for this test? OA. Ho: Not all the means are equal. Ha Hss HMS HLS HSUV HMV B. Ho Hss HMS HLS HSUV = μMV Ha: Hss *HMS *HLS*HSUV * HMV C. Ho Hss HMS HLS HSUV =μMV = = H: Not all the means are equal. D.

After one month, the company collects the sales data (in units sold) from both regions to compare the effectiveness of the campaigns. The company wants to determine whether there is a significant difference in the mean sales between the two regions. Perform a two sample T-test You can provide your answer by inserting a text box and the answer must include: Null hypothesis, Alternative hypothesis, Show answer (output table/summary table), and Conclusion based on the P value. (2 points = 0.5 x 4 Answers) Each of these is worth 0.5 points. However, showing the calculation is must. If calculation is missing, the whole answer won't get any credit.arrow_forward
