3. Ponderosa Paint and Glass makes paint at three plants. It then ships the unmarked paint cans to a central warehouse. Plant A supplies 35% of the paint, and past records indicate that the paint is incorrectly mixed 10% of the time. Plant B contributes 40%, with paint mixed incorrectly 5% of the time. Plant C supplies 25%, with paint mixed incorrectly 15% of the time. If Ponderosa guarantees its product and spent $20,000 replacing improperly mixed paint last year, how should the cost be distributed among the three plants?

1. A wood manufacturer must decide whether to merge with a larger company to make more investments. If they merge and it is a good sales year, there will be a $910,000 profit; if they merge and it is a poor sales year, there will be a deficit of $ 330,000. If they do not merge and it is a good sales year there will be a $525,000 profit; if they do not merge and it is a poor sales year there will be a $97,000 profit. If the probability of a good sales year is 0.26 and the probability of a poor sales year is 0.76, would merging with the larger company maximize the expected profit?

Sharp Outfits is trying to decide whether to ship some customer orders now via UPS or wait until after the threat of another UPS strike is over. If Sharp Outfits decides to ship the requested merchandise now andthe UPS strike takes place, the company will incur $60,000 in delay and shipping costs. If Sharp Outfits decides to ship the customer orders via UPS and no strike occurs, the company will incur $4000 in ship-ping costs. If Sharp Outfits decides to postpone shipping its customer orders via UPS, the company will incur $10,000 in delay costs regardless of whether UPS goes on strike. Let p represent the probabilitythat UPS will go on strike and impact Sharp Outfits’s shipments.a. For which values of p, if any, does Sharp Outfits minimize its expected total cost by choosing to postpone shipping its customer orders via UPS? b. Suppose now that, at a cost of $1000, Sharp Outfits can purchase information regarding the likelihood of a UPS strike in the near future. Based on similar…

Three businesswomen are trying to convene in Cincinnati for a business meeting. The first women (Woman 1) is arriving on a flight from Atlanta, the second (Woman 2) is arriving on a flight from Dallas, and the third (Woman 3) is arriving on a flight from Chicago. Historical data suggests that the Atlanta flight is “on time” 90% of the time, the Dallas flight is “on time” 95% of the time, and the Chicago flight is “on time” 80% of the time. Furthermore, historical data suggests that the three flights are independent with respect to on time behavior. Define the sample space for this random experiment. Compute the probability for each of the outcomes in the sample space. Let W denote the number of business women that arrive on time. Construct the probability mass function of W Construct the cumulative distribution function of W Find the expected value of W Compute the standard deviation of W

n an unsolved airplane hijacking case from 1971, the hijacker (given the alias of D. B. Cooper) parachuted out of the back of a Northwest Boeing 727 over the southwest part of Washington State with $200,000 in $20 bills strapped to his body. The money and four parachutes had been provided by the FBI after Cooper took over the plane, claiming to have a bomb. Despite an intensive search by the FBI and 400 troops from Fort Lewis near the projected landing spot, Cooper was never found and his fate remains unknown. The combined weight of Cooper, the money, and his parachutes was approximately 230 lbs. He jumped from an altitude of 10,000 feet. Assume a linear drag term of −cv (where c is the drag coefficient and v is the velocity), and assume that he opened his parachute instantaneously 30 seconds after he stepped out of the plane and that his drag coefficient was c = 1.1 lbs-sec/ft before the chute opened and c = 12 lbs-sec/ft after. Estimate the speed (in ft/s) with which he hit the…
Bruce had a disagreement with a new federal agency set up to give additional funds for college to individuals with an aptitude for math. After a hearing, the agency determined that Bruce had no aptitude for math and that he would not receive any funding. Bruce, however, was not discouraged. He told his friend Laura, who just graduated from law school, that he would simply appeal the decision to federal court, have the judge do a fresh review, and provide additional information to the judge regarding his math aptitude that the agency did not have. He feels certain that he will win at the federal court level. Assuming the decision by the administrative agency was a factual finding, what should Laura tell Bruce regarding the standard of review the administrative agency will likely apply?That the agency will likely apply a de novo, or new, review.That the agency will likely apply an arbitrary and capricious standard in any review.That the agency will likely apply a substantial evidence…
Kentville, a community of 10,000 people, resides next to a krypton mine, and there is a concern that the emission from the krypton smelter have resulted in adverse effects. Specifically, Kryptonosis seems to have killed 12 of Kentville’s inhabitants last year. A neighboring community, Lanesburg, has 25,000 inhabitants and is far enough from the smelter to not be affected by the emission. In Lanesburg, only three people last year died of Kryptonosis. Given that the number of deaths in Kentville and their causes last year were: Heart attack=7 Accidents=4 Kryptonosis=12 Other=6 What is the risk of dying of Kryptonosis in Kentville relative to non-contaminated locality?What is the risk of dying of Kryptonosis in Kentville relative to deaths due to other causes? How many times the chance of dying of Kryptonosis compared to dying of accidents ? How many times the chance of dying of Kryptonosis compared to Other causes?
