PROBLEM 6 A lake initially contains 1000 fish. Suppose that in the absence of predators or other causes of removal, the fish population increases by 10% each month. However, factoring in all causes, 80 fish are lost each month. Give a recurrence relation for the population of fish after n months. How many fish are there after 5 months? If your fish model predicts a non-integer number of fish, round down to the next lower integer.

Problem 13-21 (Algorithmic) A real estate investor has the opportunity to purchase land currently zoned residential. If the county board approves a request to rezone the property as commercial within the next year, the investor will be able to lease the land to a large discount firm that wants to open a new store on the property. However, if the zoning change is not approved, the investor will have to sell the property at a loss. Profits (in thousands of dollars) are shown in the following payoff table: State of Nature Rezoning Approved Rezoning Not Approved Decision Alternative S1 S2 Purchase, d1 610 -190 Do not purchase, d2 0 0 If the probability that the rezoning will be approved is 0.5, what decision is recommended?Recommended decision = What is the expected profit?Expected profit = $ fill in the blank 2 thousands. The investor can purchase an option to buy the land. Under the option, the investor maintains the rights to purchase the land anytime during…

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…
Problem 2. Last year, in a sample of 1200 randomly selected consumers who had opportunities to send in a rebate claim form after purchasing a product A, there are 300 of these people said they never did. This year, if a consumer sends in a rebate claim form, he will get 5 reward points. Observe 1000 randomly selected consumers who had opportunities to send in a rebate claim form after purchasing a product A this year, 200 of these people said they never did. a/ Does this data strongly suggest that the true proportion of such consumers who never apply for a rebate claim after purchasing the product A last year is greater than this year? Test the hypotheses at significance level 0.05 b/ Calculate an lower confidence bound at the 97% confidence level for the true proportion of such consumers who never apply for a rebate claim after purchasing the product A this year
Problem IIPSuppose that for a recent admissions class, an Ivy League college received 2,851 applications for early admission. Of this group, it admitted 1,033 students early rejected 854 outright, and deferred 964 to the regular admission pool for further consideration. In the past, this school has admitted 18% of the deferred early admission applicants during the regular admission process. Counting the students admitted early and the students admitted during the regular admission process, the total class size was 2,375.

Suppose in a tournament with only three players left, first place receives $6,000, second place receives $3,000, and third place receives $500. You have a 32% chance of winning first place, 30% chance of winning second place, and 38% chance of winning third place. a. What would be your expected winnings in this tournament? b. The tournament organizer gives you the option to continue playing or stop and split the total prize money, proportional to your current standings. If you currently have 700 of the 1800 chips currently in play, how much would you win if you stopped playing and split the winnings? c. Based on parts a and b, should you continue playing or stop and split the money? Why?
