42. A manufacturer of plumbing fixtures has developeda new type of washerless faucet. Let p P(a ran-domly sclected faucet of this type will develop a leakwithin 2 years under normal use). The manufacturerhas docided to proceed with production unless it canbe determined that p is too large; the borderline ac-ceptable value of p is specified as .10. The manufac-turer decides to subject n of these faucets to acceler-ated testing (approximating 2 years of normal use).With X the number among the n faucets that leakbefore the test concludes, production will commenceunless the observed X is too large. It is decided thatif p=.10, the probability of not proceeding shouldbe at most.10, whereas if p .30 the probability ofproceeding should be at most ,.10. Can n=10 be257 What is the appropriate re-jection region for the chosen n, and what are the ac-tual error probabilities when this region is used?used? n = 20? n=

From the given information, The acceptable value of p is 0.10. Given sample sizes are n=10, n=20,…

A report in LTO stated that the average age of taxis in the Philippines is 9 years. An operations manager of a large taxi company selects of 40 taxis and finds the average age of the taxis is 8.2 years. The of the population is 2.3 years. At can it be concluded that the average age of the taxis in his company is less than the national average?
4.(a) The manufacturer of a certain voltmeter claims that 95% or more of its readings are within0.1% of the true value. In a sample of 500 readings, 470 were within 0.1% of the truevalue. Is there enough evidence to reject the claim?(b) A manufacturer of computer workstations is testing a new automated assembly process.The current process has a defect rate of 5%. In a sample of 400 worksations assembled bythe new process, 15 had defects. Can it be concluded that new process has a lower defectrate?
52. (Based on Balson et al. [1992].) An electric utilitycompany is trying to decide whether to replace its PCBtransformer in a generating station with a new and safertransformer. To evaluate this decision, the utility needsinformation about the likelihood of an incident, such as afire, the cost of such an incident, and the cost of replacingthe unit. Suppose that the total cost of replacement as apresent value is $150,000. If the transformer is replaced,there is virtually no chance of a fire. However, if thecurrent transformer is retained, the probability of a fireis assessed to be 0.005. If a fire occurs, the cleanupcost could be high ($100 million) or low ($30 million). The probability of a high cleanup cost, given that a fireoccurs, is assessed at 0.3.a. If the company uses EMV as its decision criterion,should it replace the transformer?b. Perform a sensitivity analysis on the key parametersof the problem that are difficult to assess, namely,the probability of a fire, the probability…
1 It has been found from experience that an average of six customers use the drive‐through facility at a local fast food outlet in any given 20 minute period. What is theprobability that more than two customers will use the drive‐through facility in anyrandomly selected 10 minute period? Interpret your answer.
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…

Further to the information provided in the question above, we are informed that nails produced thatare shorter than the minimum acceptable length have to be scrapped. Consider that 4.8cm is still theminimum threshold for acceptable nail length. If the cost to produce one nail is 45 cents, how muchdoes the company incur in Rand losses due to scrapping?
A local energy provider offers a landowner $180,000 for the exploration rights to natural gas on a certain site and the option for future development. This option, if exercised, is worth an additional $1,800,000 to the landowner, but this will occur only if natural gas is discovered during the exploration phase. The landowner, believing that the energy company’s interest in the site is a good indication that gas is present, is tempted to develop the field herself. To do so, she must contract with local experts in natural gas exploration and development. The initial cost for such a contract is $300,000, which is lost forever if no gas is found on the site. If gas is discovered, however, the landowner expects to earn a net profit of $6,000,000. The landowner estimates the probability of finding gas on this site to be 60%. a. Use PrecisionTree to identify the strategy that maximizes the landowner’s expected net earnings from this opportunity. b. Perform a sensitivity analysis on the…
We wish to demonstrate that the average time to graduate from Tulane is affected by the students having taken AP calculus in high school. Specially, we wish to demonstrate that students who have taken AP calculus in high school graduate an average of more than 0.25 years sooner than students who have not taken AP calculus in high school. If we let denote the average time to graduate for students who have not taken AP calculus and denotes the average time to graduate for students who have taken AP calculus, then select the appropriate alternative hypothesis.
