QUESTION 10
YouTube generates revenue by showing ads to consumers who watch videos on its website. Suppose that, for each person watching a video, YouTube receives one
dollar in ad revenues (P=1).
Arthur is a professional video-game player. He plays the video-game "Fortnite" and uploads his video to YouTube. The number of people who will watch his video
depends on Arthur's effort producing the video and increasing its quality. The number Q of viewers as a function of Arthur's effort "e" is given by the function Q= Be.
Arthur's offort cost is 202.
His utility equals his income minus ys effort cost.
To give incentives to Arthur to create better videos and attract more viewers, YouTube decides to pay Arthur a bonus b for each person watching his video.
YouTube also has an operational cost

Operational cost -

which is the cost of maintaining its internet servers and administrative staff. YouTube's profit equals the ad revenue minus the payment to Arthur and the operational

in business. The average GMAT score is 547 (Magoosh website). Assume that GMAT scores are bell-shaped with a standard deviation of 100. Use the empirical
rule to answer the following.
a. What percentage of GMAT scores are 647 or higher (to 1 decimal)?

b. What percentage of GMAT scores are 747 or higher (to 1 decimal)?
c. What percentage of GMAT scores are between 447 and 547 (to 1 decimal)?

The goal of the consumer is to maximize
the total utility or satisfaction derived
from their purchase choices, given the
unique budget constraint. To calculate
total utility of a given combination of T-
shirts and movies, one would use the
following approach:
Group of answer choices
Use utils as a measure of utility, assigning
a specific number to T-shirts and movies,
and then add those together.
For a given combination of T-shirts and
movies, survey a group of individuals to
determine an average for utils to be
assigned to the number of T-shirts and
movies.
For a given combination of T-shirts and
movies, assign a number of utils to that
combination.
For a given combination of T-shirts and
movies, use Google to identify the
number of utils associated with the
number of T-shirts and movies and then
sum them.

The results of a national survey showed that on average, adults sleep 6.9 hours per night. Suppose that the standard deviation is 1.2 hours. Round your
answers to the nearest whole number.
Use Chebyshev's theorem to calculate the percentage of individuals who sleep between 4.5 and 9.3 hours.
At least
Use Chebyshev's theorem to calculate the percentage of individuals who sleep between 3.9 and 9.9 hours.
At least
Assume that the number of hours of sleep follows a bell-shaped distribution. Use the empirical rule to calculate the percentage of individuals who sleep
between 4.5 and 9.3 hours per day.

Exercise 2.2. A three-man board, composed of A, B, and C, has held hearings
on a personnel case involving an officer of the company. This officer was
scheduled for promotion but, prior to final action on his promotion, he took
a decision that cost the company a good deal of money. The question is
whether he should be (1) promoted anyway, (2) denied the promotion, or (3)
fired. The board has discussed the matter at length and is unable to reach
unanimous agreement. In the course of the discussion it has become clear to
all three of them that their separate opinions are as follows:
• A considers the officer to have been a victim of bad luck, not bad
judgment, and wants to go ahead and promote him but, failing that, would
keep him rather than fire him.

B considers the mistake serious enough to bar promotion altogether; he'd

2. A city had an unemployment rate of 7%. The mayor pledged to lower this figure and supported programs to decrease unemployment. A group of citizens wanted to test with 0.032 label of significance if the unemployment rate had actually decreased, so they obtained a random sample of 500 citizens to see what proportion of the sample was unemployed. Only 32 citizens in the above sample is still unemployed. What is the probability of Type II error if the actual unemployment rate is 6.5% please don't use software everything needs to be done by hand. Explain because I don't understand my professor.

Firms in India are losing productivity because of Facebook. Office staff are spending too long on the social networking site. According to The Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry (Assocham) employees use Orkut, Facebook, Myspace, and Linkedin for "romancing" and other purposes. On average, employees spend an hour a day on sites like Facebook. This reduces productivity by 12.5%. Nearly half of office employees accessed Facebook during work time. Some 83% saw nothing wrong in surfing at work during office hours. In September 2009 Portsmouth City Council in England banned staff from accessing Facebook on its computers when it was discovered that they spent, on average, 400 hours on the site every month.
Analyze the possible consequences for businesses in India of banning access to Facebook and other social networking sites.

According to Wine-Searcher, wine critics generally use a wine-scoring scale to communicate their opinions on the relative quality of wines. Wine scores range
from 0 to 100, with a score of 95 – 100 indicating a great wine, 90 – 94 indicating an outstanding wine, 85 – 89 indicating a very good wine, 80 – 84
indicating a good wine, 75 - 79 indicating a mediocre wine, and below 75 indicating that the wine is not recommended. Random ratings of a pinot noir recently
