A small market orders copies of a certain magazine for its magazine rack each week. Let X = demand for the magazine, with the following pmf. 1 2 3 4 5 6 1 15 15 2 4 4 2 P(x) 15 15 15 15 Suppose the store owner actually pays $2.00 for each copy of the magazine and the price to customers is $4.00. If magazines left at the end of the week have no salvage value, is it better to order three or four copies of the magazine? [Hint: For both three and four copies ordered, express net revenue as a function of demand X, and then compute the expected revenue.] What is the expected profit if three magazines are ordered? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) What is the expected profit if four magazines are ordered? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) 24

A random sample of 80 poultry farms of one variety gave an average production of 240 eggs per bird. Another random sample of 50 poultry farms of another variety gave an average production of 195 eggs per bird. At a=0.05 is there sufficient evidence to support that there is a significant difference between the egg production of the two varieties of birds. Assume o1 =18 eggs and o2=15 eggs
Persons having Raynaud's syndrome are apt to suffer a sudden impairment of blood circulation in fingers and toes. In an experiment to study the extent of this impairment, each subject immersed a forefinger in water and the resulting heat output (cal/cm2/min) was measured. For m = 9 subjects with the syndrome, the average heat output was x = 0.65, and for n = 9 nonsufferers, the average output was 2.03. Let μ1 and μ2 denote the true average heat outputs for the sufferers and nonsufferers, respectively. Assume that the two distributions of heat output are normal wit

Persons having Raynaud's syndrome are apt to suffer a sudden impairment of blood circulation in fingers and toes. In an experiment to study the extent of this impairment, each subject immersed a forefinger in water and the resulting heat output (cal/cm2/min) was measured. For m = 9 subjects with the syndrome, the average heat output was x = 0.61, and for n = 9 nonsufferers, the average output was 2.09. Let ?1 and ?2 denote the true average heat outputs for the sufferers and nonsufferers, respectively. Assume that the two distributions of heat output are normal with ?1 = 0.3 and ?2 = 0.5. (a) Consider testing H0: ?1 − ?2 = −1.0 versus Ha: ?1 − ?2 < −1.0 at level 0.01. Describe in words what Ha says, and then carry out the test. Ha says that the average heat output for sufferers is the same as that of non-sufferers.Ha says that the average heat output for sufferers is less than 1 cal/cm2/min below that of non-sufferers. Ha says that the average heat output for sufferers is more…

A manufacturing company employs two inspecting devices to sample a fraction of their output for quality control purposes. The first inspection monitor is able to accurately detect 99.3% of the defective items it receives, whereas the second is able to do so in 99.7% of the cases. Assume that four defective items are produced and sent out for inspection. Let X and Y denote the number of items that will be identified as defective by inspecting devices 1 and 2, respectively.

To determine the effectiveness of an oil additive, a testing firm purchased two cars of the same make, year, and model, and drove each a distance of 30,000 miles using the same kind of gasoline, the same kind of oil, the same driver, under the same road conditions. The oil in one engine included the additive, whereas the oil in the other engine did not. At the end of the test, the engines of both cars were dismantled, and it was found that the engine that contained the additive had less wear. The testing firm concluded that the oil additive caused the reduced wear.
