Chapter 7, Problem 40P

In lottery the player has to guess correctly r numbers that are drawn out of n numbers. The probability, P, of guessing m numbers out of the r numbers can be calculated by the expression:

P = C r , m C ( n r ) , ( r m ) C n , r

where C x , y = x ! y ! ( x y ) ! . Write a user-defined MAILAB function that calculates P. For the function name and arguments, use P=ProbLot-tery (m, r, n). The input arguments are m. the number of correct guesses:

r, the number of numbers that need to be guessed: and n. the number of numbers available. Use a subfunction inside ProbLottery for calculating

Cx,y.

(a) Use ProbLottery for calculating the probability of correctly selecting 3 of 6 numbers that are drawn out of 49 numbers in a lottery game.

(b) Consider a lottery game in which 6 numbers are drawn out of 49 numbers. Write a program in a script file that displays a table with seven rows and two columns. The first column has the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, which are the number of numbers guessed correctly. The second column show the corresponding probability of making the guess.

To meet this demand, we must decide on the best strategy to expand our fleet. The three possible alternatives under consideration are purchasing new delivery vehicles, leasing vehicles, or partnering with third-party drivers. The decision must account for various external factors, including fuel price fluctuations, demand stability, and competition growth, which we categorize as the states of nature. Each alternative presents unique advantages and challenges, and our goal is to select the most viable option using a structured decision-making approach. Alternatives and States of Nature The three alternatives for fleet expansion were chosen based on their cost implications, operational efficiency, and…
