18. Tó čélébraté the end of both pandemic, the exhausted computer science major Joe Palooka wants to celebrate by going to the upcoming concerts of his two favorite bands, One Direction and Nickelback. Of course, his fellow millennials are also trying to grab these tickets with equal gusto. The chances of Joe successfully getting these tickets are given by the priors P(O) = 0.5, P(N) = 0.3, and P(O ^ N) = 0.2. (A quick mental calculation thus reveals that the events O and N are not independent.) Assuming that Joe manages to get himself a One Direction ticket, what is the probability P(N | 0) of Joe also scoring a Nickelback ticket? (а) 0.3 (b) 0.4 (c) 0.5 (d) 0.6

A producer of pocket calculators purchases the main processor chips in lots of1,000. The producer would like to have a 1 percent rate of defectives but willnormally not refuse a lot unless it has 4 percent or more defectives. Samples of50 are drawn from each lot, and the lot is rejected if more than two defectives arefound.a. What are p0, p1, n, and c for this problem?
32. A hardware company sells a lot of low-cost, highvolume products. For one such product, it is equallylikely that annual unit sales will be low or high. Ifsales are low (30,000), the company can sell theproduct for $20 per unit. If sales are high (70,000),a competitor will enter and the company will be ableto sell the product for only $15 per unit. The variablecost per unit has a 20% chance of being $10, a 60%chance of being $11, and a 20% chance of being $12.Annual fixed costs are $20,000.a. Use simulation to estimate the company’s expectedannual profit.b. Find a 95% interval for the company’s annualprofit, that is, an interval such that about 95% ofthe actual profits are inside it.c. Now suppose that annual unit sales, variable cost,and unit price are equal to their respective expectedvalues—that is, there is no uncertainty. Determinethe company’s annual profit for this scenario.d. Can you conclude from the results in parts a and cthat the expected profit from a simulation is…

Hypertension A national study found that treating people appropriately for high blood pressure reduced their overall mortality by 20%. Treating people adequately for hypertension has been dif- ficult because it is estimated that 50% of hypertensives do not know they have high blood pressure, 50% of those who do know are inadequately treated by their physicians, and 50% who are appropriately treated fail to follow this treat- ment by taking the right number of pills. 1 If the preceding 50% rates were each reduced to 40% by a massive education program, then what effect would this change have on the overall mortality rate among true hypertensives; that is, would the mortality rate decrease and, if so, what percentage of deaths among hypertensives could be prevented by the education program?

Genesis wants to invest his money in a fast food restaurant. There is a 38% chance of losing P400,000, a 30% chanceof making a profit of P 550,000, and a 32% chance of getting a break even. Based on these information, should Genesisinvest his money in the fast food restautant?
A multinational corporation is considering starting a subsidiary in an Asiancountry. Management realizes that the success of the new subsidiary depends, in part,on the ensuing political climate in the target country. Management estimates that theprobability of success (in terms of resulting revenues of the subsidiary during its firstyear of operation) is 0.55 if the prevailing political situation is favorable, 0.30 if thepolitical situation is neutral, and 0.10 if the political situation during the year is unfavorable. Management further believes that the probabilities of favorable, neutral, andunfavorable political situations are 0.6, 0.2, and 0.2, respectively. What is the successprobability of the new subsidiary?
Suppose that after the 2020 presidential election there are three races that are too close to call: Wisconsin,Michigan, and Pennsylvania. In order to become president, a candidate must receive 270 electoral votes ormore. Wisconsin has 10 electoral votes, Michigan has 16, and Pennsylvania has 20. Suppose that in theother decided races, Democrats have 259 electoral votes and Republicans have 233. The Democrat has an80% chance of winning Wisconsin, a 50% chance of winning Michigan, and a 10% chance of winningPennsylvania. A statistician defines a random variableXto be +1 if the Democrat wins,−1 if theRepublican wins, and 0 if neither candidate reaches 270 electoral votes. Find the probability densityfunction ofX. (Hint: Make this easier by figuring out the scenario in which the Republican wins or there isa tie!)
An investor has decided to commit no more than $80,000 to the purchase of the common stocks of two companies, Company A and Company B. He has also estimated that there is a chance of at most a 1% capital loss on his investment in Company A and a chance of at most a 4% loss on his investment in Company B, and he has decided that these losses should not exceed $2000. On the other hand, he expects to make a(n) 15% profit from his investment in Company A and a(n) 18% profit from his investment in Company B. Determine how much he should invest in the stock of each company (x dollars in Company A and y dollars in Company B) in order to maximize his investment returns. What are the (x,y) values? What is the optimal profit?

A marketing research group conducting a telephone survey must contact at least 150 wives and 120 husbands. It costs P100 to make a daytime call and (because of higher labor costs) P150 to make an evening call. On average, daytime calls reach wives 30% of the time, husbands 10% of the time, and neither of these 60% of the time, whereas evening calls reach wives 30% of the time, husbands 30% of the time, and neither of these 40% of the time. Staffing considerations mean that daytime calls must be less than or equal to half of the total calls made. How many should be interviewed at each period to minimize the cost of completing the survey? fomulate the LP Model; identify the decision variables used in the model; and determine the optimal solution using graphical method.
