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. 4.32 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?

Suppose a company charges a premium of $150 per year for an insurance policy for storm damage to roofs. Actuarial studies show that in case of a storm, the insurance company will pay out an average of $8000 for damage to a composition shingle roof and an average of $12,000 for damage to a shake roof. They also determine that out of every 10,000 policies, there are 7 claims per year made on composition shingle roofs and 11 claims per year made on shake roofs. What is the company’s expected value (i.e., expected profit) per year of a storm insurance policy? What annual profit can the company expect if it issues 1000 such policies? Determine the probability of a composition shingle roof claim out of 10,000 = ______ Determine the probability of a shake roof claim out of 10,000 = ______ How many claims are made out of 10,000? = _______ What is the probability of no claims out of 10,000? = _______ How much does each shingle roof claim cost the company, don’t forget each person pays $150…

A consumer is given the chance to buy a baseball card for $1, but hedeclines the trade. If the consumer is now given the baseball card, willhe be willing to sell it for $1? Standard consumer theory suggests yes, butbehavioral economists have found that “ownership” tends to increase thevalue of goods to consumers. That is, the consumer may hold out for someamount more than $1 (for example, $1.20) when selling the card, eventhough he was willing to pay only some amount less than $1 (for example,$0.88) when buying it. Behavioral economists call this phenomenon the“endowment effect.” John List investigated the endowment effect in a randomized experiment involving sports memorabilia traders at a sports-card show. Traders were randomly given one of two sports collectibles, say good A or good B, that had approximately equal market value.1 Those receiving good A were then given the option of trading good A for good B with the experimenter; those receiving good B were given the option of…
Tuff Rubbers, a tire manufacturer, knows that 5% of the tires it produces are defective. To reduce the number of defective tires that make it to market, the manufacturer uses a special device to test each tire before shipping it out. The test will correctly detect a defective tire 97% of the time. However, the test will incorrectly indicate a good quality tire is defective 6% of the time. If the test indicates a tire is defective, the tire is recycled. Otherwise, the tire makes it to market. Let D represent the event a tire is defective, and T represent the event the test indicates a tire is defective. In each part of this question, express each probability only in terms of the events D and T and justify any computation by explicitly stating the formula you are using. (a) Express each of the three probabilities listed above in terms of the events D and T. (b) What percentage of tires are recycled? (c) What percentage of recycled tires are not defective? (d) What percentage of…

The past records of a supermarket show that its customers spend an averageof $95 per visit at this store. Recently the management of the store initiated a promotionalcampaign according to which each customer receives points based on the total moneyspent at the store, and these points can be used to buy products at the store. Themanagement expects that as a result of this campaign, the customers should beencouraged to spend more money at the store. To check whether this is true, the managerof the store took a sample of 14 customers who visited the store. The following data givethe money (in dollars) spent by these customers at this supermarket during their visits. 109 136 107 116 101 109 110 94 101 97 104 83 67 120Assume that the money spent by all customers at this supermarket has a normaldistribution. Using a 5% significance level, can you conclude that the mean amount ofmoney spent by all customers at this supermarket after the campaign was started is morethan $95?
