- A software developer makes 175 phone calls to its current customers. There is an 8 percent chance of reaching a given customer (instead of a busy signal, no answer, or answering machine). The normal approximation of the probability of reaching at least 20 customers is Multiple Choice .022 .007 .063 .937An investor considers investing $17,000 in the stock market. He believes that the probability is 0.22 that the economy will improve, 0.42 that it will stay the same, and 0.36 that it will deteriorate. Further, if the economy improves, he expects his investment to grow to $23,000, but it can also go down to $11,000 if the economy deteriorates. If the economy stays the same, his investment will stay at $17,000. What is the expected value of his investment?A company that manufactures and sells T-shirts for sporting events, is providing shirts for an upcoming tournament. Each shirt will cost $7 to produce and will be sold for $13. Any unsold shirts at the end of the tournament can be sold for $5 apiece in the near future. The company assumes the demand for the shirts will be 1,500,3,000,4,500, or 6,000. The company also estimates that the probabilities of each of these sales levels occurring will be 20%, 25%,25%, and 30%, respectively. Determine the expected monetary value of the project if the company chooses to print 4,500 shirts for the tournament. The expected monetary value is---- (Type a whole number.)
- The probability distribution for damage claims paid by the Newton Automobile Insurance Company on collision insurance is shown as follows: there is a 62% chance there won't be a claim ($0), a 11% chance of a $1000 claim, a 8% chance of a $2700 claim, and otherwise, the claim will be $9000.

- The closing price of Martin's Sporting Goods Inc. common stock is uniformly distributed between $25 and $36 per share. What is the probability that the stock price will be more than $32?The success of a project depends on the effort level of a worker. In case of success the revenues will be $300,000 whereas in case of no-success the revenue will be $0. The worker can provide a low effort level or a high effort level. The effort level cannot be observed by the principal. The worker requires an expected salary of $50,000 to provide the low effort level and an expected salary of $60,000 to provide the high effort level. The success probabilities for the project are 70% in case of high effort level and 50% in case of low effort level. The compensation package consists of the base salary, s, and the bonus, b, paid out in case of the project's success. What should the base salary be for the worker in an optimal contract? a. $15,000 b. $25,000 c. $30,000 d. $40,000 e. $50,000Players would draw a card from a standard 52 card deck.

- You hold an oral, or English, auction among three bidders. You estimate that each bidder has a value of either $40 or $50 for the item, and you attach probabilities to each value of 50%. The winning bidder must pay a price equal to the second highest bid. The following table lists the eight possible combinations for bidder values. Each combination is equally likely to occur. On the following table, indicate the price paid by the winning bidder.
