Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 27P
Suppose we are interested in bidding on a piece of land and we know one other bidder is interested.1 The seller announced that the highest bid in excess of $10,000 will be accepted. Assume that the competitor’s bid x is a random variable that is uniformly distributed between $10,000 and $15,000.
- a. Suppose you bid $12,000. What is the
probability that your bid will be accepted? - b. Suppose you bid $14,000. What is the probability that your bid will be accepted?
- c. What amount should you bid to maximize the probability that you get the property?
- d. Suppose you know someone who is willing to pay you $16,000 for the property. Would you consider bidding less than the amount in part (c)? Why or why not?

Since no existing treatment exists, they have planned a one-armstudy. They wish to test whether the success rate of the drug is better than 50%, whichthey have defined as the null success rate. Preliminary testing has estimated the successrate of the drug at 55%. The investigators are eager to get the drug into production andwould like to plan for 9 interim analyses (10 analyzes in total) of the data.
