Assume that there are two types of borrowers high and low. The high type occurs with probability 0.75 and the low type occurs with probability 0.25. The high type succeeds and generates a gross return of 2 with probability 0.8 and fails and generates a gross return of 0 with probability 0.2. The low type succeeds and generates a gross return of 10 with probability 0.2 and fails and generates a gross return of 0 with probability 0.8. Assume limited liability. In addition, assume that the banking sector is competitive. Furthermore, assume that a commercial bank can secure a gross return of 1 if it makes a deposit at the central bank. Finally, assume that the two types of potential borrowers are DISTINGUISHABLE. What should the gross interest (1+r) charged on loans to low type be in this case?
A quarter is bent so that the probabilities of headsand tails are 0.40 and 0.60. If it is tossed twice, what isthe covariance of Z, the number of heads obtained on thefirst toss, and W, the total number of heads obtained inthe two tosses of the coin?
In a particular city, every individual GSM user is a customer of eitherCompany A or Company B, the only available GSM operators in the region. Suppose that the probability of a randomly-selected GSM user being a customer of Company A is constant and that any given individuals choice of GSM operator is independent of others. a) If a randomly-chosen user is a customer of Company A with a probability of 0:4, what is the probability of obtaining 14 Company A customers out of 20 randomly-selected GSM users? b) If a randomly-chosen user is a customer of Company A with a probability of 0:7, what is the probability of obtaining at least 13 Company A customers out of 15 randomly-selected GSM users?
Figures obtained from a city's police department seem to indicate that of all motor vehicles reported as stolen, 63% were stolen by professionals (P), whereas 37% were stolen by amateurs (primarily for joy rides) (A). Of the vehicles presumed stolen by professionals, 25% were recovered within 48 hours (R<48), 23% were recovered after 48 hours (R>48), and 52% were never recovered (N). Of the vehicles presumed stolen by amateurs, 33% were recovered within 48 hours, 63% were recovered after 48 hours, and 4% were never recovered. (b) What is the probability that a vehicle stolen by a professional in this city will be recovered within 48 hours?(c) What is the probability that a vehicle stolen in this city will never be recovered? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
A certain Mobile Money Agency is an agent for Zanaco Express, Airtel, MTN and Zamtel Mobile Money. Experience has shown that the probabilities of finding a float for withdrawals of amounts K5000 and above are given as 0.4, 0.5, 0.3 and 0.2, respectively. Experience has also shown that among his clients, the probabilities that a client requires a service from Zanaco Express, Airtel, MTN, Zamtel Mobile Money are given as 0.3, 0.4, 0.2 and 0.1, respectively. Assume that each client visits the agency for withdrawals from only one at a time.(i) What is the probability that a client who wishes to withdraw K5000 will not be successful?(ii) What is the probability that an MTN client who wishes to withdraw K5000 will not be successful?(iii) What is the probability that an Airtel client who wishes to withdraw K5000 will not be successful?(iv) A certain client has just failed to make a withdrawal of K7000, what is the probability that he/she is a Zamtel Mobile money client?
A constructor has two subcontractors for his excavation Experience shows that in 60% of the time, subcontractor A was available to do a job, whereas subcontractor B was available 80% of the time. Also, the contractor is able to get at least one of these two subcontractors 90% of the time. Suppose EA denotes the event that subcontractor A is available, and EB denotes thatsubcontractor B is Are EA and EB statistically independent? Explain. Are EA and EB mutually exhaustive? Explain. Are EA and EB collectively exhaustive? Explain.
A k out of n system is one in which there is a group of n components, and the system will function if at least k of the components function. For a certain 4 out of 6 system, assume that on a rainy day each component has probability 0.7 of functioning, and that on a nonrainy day each component has probability 0.9 of functioning. a) What is the probability that the system functions on a rainy day? b) What is the probability that the system functions on a nonrainy day? c) Assume that the probability of rain tomorrow is 0.20. What is the probability that the system will function tomorrow?

At a certain school 60 of the 100 boys and 60 of the 80 girls signed up for the senior trip. Is there an associa-tion between going on the trip and gender? A) We can’t tell, because the class doesn’t have the samenumber of boys and girls.B) Yes, because the same number of boys and girlssigned up.C) Yes, because a lower percentage of boys signed upthan of girls.D) No, because the people on the trip were 50% boysand 50% girls.E) No, because the sign-up rate was higher among girlsthan among boys.
A k out of n system is one in which there is a group of n components, and the system will function if at least k of the components function. Assume the components function independently of one another. a) In a 3 out of 5 system, each component has probability 0.9 of functioning. What is the probability that the system will function? b) In a 3 out of n system, in which each component has probability 0.9 of functioning, what is the smallest value of n needed so that the probability that the system functions is at least 0.90?
