- You now have 10,000, all of which is invested in a sports team. Each year there is a 60% chance that the value of the team will increase by 60% and a 40% chance that the value of the team will decrease by 60%. Estimate the mean and median value of your investment after 50 years. Explain the large difference between the estimated mean and median.The length of time between breakdowns of an essential piece of equipment is important in the decision of the use of auxiliary equipment. An engineer thinks that the best “model” for time between breakdowns of a generator is the exponential distribution with a mean of 15 days. If the generator has just broken down, what is the probability that it will break down in the next 12 to 24 days?A product engineer has developed the following equation for the cost of a system component: C = (10P)2, where is the cost in dollars and Pis the probability that the component will operate as expected. The system is composed of two identical components, both of which must operate for the system to operate. The engineer can spend $173 for the two components. To the nearest two decimal places, what is the largest component probability that can be achieved?
- Planetary Communications, Inc., intends to launch a satellite that will enhance reception of television programs in Alaska. According to its designers, the satellite will have an expected life of sixyears. Assume the exponential distribution applies. Determine the probability that it will functionfor each of the following time periods:a. More than 9 yearsPlanetary Communications, Inc., intends to launch a satellite that will enhance reception of television programs in Alaska. According to its designers, the satellite will have an expected life of sixyears. Assume the exponential distribution applies. Determine the probability that it will functionfor each of the following time periods: b. Less than 12 yearsThe failure of power transformers is assumed to follow a Poisson probability distribution. Suppose on the average, a transformer fails once every 10 years, what is the probability that it will not fail in the next 12 months? That it will fail once in the next 24 months?

In the event of a fire, what is the probability that a warning would be given?A car repair can be performed either on time or late, and either satisfactoryily or unsatisfactorily. The probability of a repair being on time and satisfactory is 0.26. The probability of a repair being on time is 0.74. The probability of a repair being satisfactory is 0.41. What is the probabilityof a repair being late and unsatisfactory?The number of hybrid cars that have be requested for rental from a car rental office during a 50 day sample period is given in the following table.

- In designing a new space vehicle, NASA needs to decide whether to provide 0, 1 or 2 backup systems for a critical component of the vehicle. The first backup system, if included, comes into use only if the original system fails. The second backup system, if included, comes into use only if the original system and the first backup system both fail. NASA engineers claim that each system, independent of the others, has a 1.5% chance of failing if called into use. Each backup system costs $70,000 to produce and install within the vehicle. Once the vehicle is in flight, the mission will be scrubbed (ended early) only if the original system and all backups fail. The cost of a scrubbed mission, in addition to production costs, is assessed to be $5,000,000. How many backup systems are needed to minimize NASA’s expected total cost?At DataTech Solutions, the reliability of their server systems is a critical factor in maintaining smooth operations. The company knows that the probability of a server experiencing no downtime due to technical issues is 0.95. When a server is functioning smoothly, there is a 0.9 probability that the network performance is also optimal. However, if a server encounters technical problems, the probability of having optimal network performance drops to 0.3. A server is chosen at random for assessment, and its network performance is found to be optimal. What is the updated probability that the server is running without any technical issues?Jankord Jewelers permits the return of their diamond wedding rings, provided the return occurs within two weeks.
