Chapter 7.3, Problem 51E
Internet Investments in the 1990s The following excerpt is from an article in The New York Times in July 1999:35
While statistics are not available for web entrepreneurs who fail, the venture capitalists that finance such Internet start-up companies have a rule of thumb. For every 10 ventures that receive financing—and there are plenty that do not—2 will be stock market successes, which means spectacular profits for early investors;
3 will be sold to other concerns, which translates into more modest profits; and the rest will fail.
a. What is a
b. Write down the associated probability distribution.
c. What is the probability that a start-up venture that receives financing will realize profits for early investors?

Westminster Financial has released a summary of investment package information from the past fiscal year. During that
time, Westminster provided a choice of several pre-designed investment packages. Westminster classified the packages into
three categories according to riskiness. We're interested in the possible relationship between the age of an investor and the
riskiness of the investment package she chose. So, there are two variables under consideration: age of Westminster investor
("under 35", "35-49", or "50+") and riskiness of investment choice ("risky", "moderate/mixed", or "conservative").
The contingency table below gives a summary of the information released by Westminster regarding age and riskiness of
investment package for a random sample of 150 investors. Each cell of the table contains three numbers: the first number is
the observed cell frequency (fo); the second number is the expected cell frequency (f) under the assumption that there is
no relationship between the two…

According to sales information in the first quarter of 2016, 2.5% of new vehicles sold in the United States were hybrids. This is down
from 2.8% for the same period a year earlier. An analyst's review of the data indicates that the reasons for the sales decline include the
low price of gasoline and the higher price of a hybrid compared to similar vehicles. Let's assume these statistics remain the same for
2017. That is, 2.5 percent of new car sales are hybrids in the first quarter of 2017. For a sample of 35 vehicles sold in the Richmond,
Virginia, area:
a. How many vehicles would you expect to be hybrid? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
Expected veloe
b. Use the Poisson distribution to find the probability that four of the sales were hybrid vehicles. (Round your answer to 4 decimal
places.)
Probebility
c. Use the binomial distribution to find the probability that four of the sales were hybrid vehicles. (Round your answer to 4 decimel
places.)

- Answer the following questions. 3. When given two separate events, how do we know whether to apply the Addition Principle or the Multiplication Principle when calculating possible outcomes? What conjunctions may help to determine which operations to use?arrow_forwardCholesterol Cholesterol in human blood is necessary, but too much can lead to health problems. There are three main types of cholesterol: HDL (high-density lipoproteins), LDL (low-density lipoproteins), and VLDL (very low-density lipoproteins). HDL is considered “good” cholesterol; LDL and VLDL are considered “bad” cholesterol. A standard fasting cholesterol blood test measures total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides. These numbers are used to estimate LDL and VLDL, which are difficult to measure directly. Your doctor recommends that your combined LDL/VLDL cholesterol level be less than 130 milligrams per deciliter, your HDL cholesterol level be at least 60 milligrams per deciliter, and your total cholesterol level be no more than 200 milligrams per deciliter. (a) Write a system of linear inequalities for the recommended cholesterol levels. Let x represent the HDL cholesterol level, and let y represent the combined LDL VLDL cholesterol level. (b) Graph the system of inequalities from part (a). Label any vertices of the solution region. (c) Is the following set of cholesterol levels within the recommendations? Explain. LDL/VLDL: 120 milligrams per deciliter HDL: 90 milligrams per deciliter Total: 210 milligrams per deciliter (d) Give an example of cholesterol levels in which the LDL/VLDL cholesterol level is too high but the HDL cholesterol level is acceptable. (e) Another recommendation is that the ratio of total cholesterol to HDL cholesterol be less than 4 (that is, less than 4 to 1). Identify a point in the solution region from part (b) that meets this recommendation, and explain why it meets the recommendation.arrow_forwardUse this data for the exercises that follow: In 2013, there were roughly 317 million citizens in the United States, and about 40 million were elderly (aged 65 and over).[34] 60. It is predicted that by 2030, one in five U.S. citizens will be elderly. How much greater will the chances of meeting an elderly person be at that time? What policy changes do you foresee if these statistics hold true?arrow_forward

- Westminster Financial has released a summary of investment package information from the past fiscal year. During this time, Westminster provided a choice among twelve pre-designed investment packages. Westminster classified the packages into three categories according to riskiness. We're interested in the possible relationship between the age of an investor and the riskiness of the investment package she chose. So, there are two variables under consideration: age of Westminster investor ("under 35", "35-49", or "50+") and riskiness of investment choice ("risky", "moderate/mixed", or "conservative"). The contingency table below gives a summary of the information released by Westminster regarding age and riskiness of investment package for a random sample of 150 investors. Each cell of the table contains three numbers: the first number is the observed cell frequency (fO); the second number is the expected cell frequency (fE) under the assumption that there is no relationship between the…arrow_forwardPart b pleasearrow_forwardGovernment economic studies reveal that young adults, not middle-aged or older adults, are having the most difficult time in today’s economy. Although the nation’s labor market shows a decline in the unemployment rate, the percentage of young adults, ages 18 to 24, currently employed (54 percent) is at the lowest level since the government data collection began in 1948. If you were working for a national survey organization doing a general public survey of young adults and older adults, what topics and questions would you design into your survey to elaborate on this finding?arrow_forward
