Their stock prices (Pt) and total shares outstanding (Qt) from day 0 to day 1 are shown as follows: stk3 splits two-for-one in day 1.

Suppose insurance agency services customers who have both a homeowner’s policy and an automobile policy. For each type of policy, a deductible amount must be specified. For an automobile policy, the choices are TZS100 and TZS250, whereas for a homeowner’s policy, the choices are 0, TZS100, and TZS200. Suppose also that an individual is selected at random from the agency’s files. Let X = his deductible amount on the auto policy and Y = his deductible amount on the homeowner’s policy (a) What are the possible (X, Y) pairs? (b) Suppose the joint probability mass function is given by the insurance company in the accompanying joint probability in the following Table Table: Discrete Joint Probability Distribution for X and Y P(x,y) 0 100 200 X 100 0.2 0.10 0.2 250 0.05 0.15 0.3 What is p (100, 100) What is P (Y greater than 100)?
Suppose that the lifespan of a piece of equipment is normally distributed with mean 10 years and standarddeviation of 3 years. A particular piece of equipment’s current age is 11 years. The firm is consideringtwo options; i) replace it now, ii) wait until age 13 to replace it (unless it dies before then, in which casean unscheduled replacement is necessary).Suppose that immediate replacement will cost the company a TL. Replacement at age 13 (if the equipment lasts that long) will cost b TL, where b < a. An unscheduled replacement between now and age 13(that is, if the equipment dies suddenly during the next two years) will cost c TL, where c > a.• What is the probability that, barring replacement now, the equipment will last until age 13? What is the expected cost of replacement if the equipment is not replaced now?• Under what condition a, b and c, is expected cost lower if equipment is replaced now, rather thanunder the age 13 policy?
Drug manufacturers of drug acts which was released on the market 5 years ago to treat crohns disease have noticed that many individuals treated with the drug have developed drug induced lupus a cohort study was conducted for post marketing surveillance it has documented that 9 individuals have developed drug induced lupus over the course of the past 5 years if 2 individuals develop the disease at the one year mark 3 developed the disease at the 2 year mark when developed the disease at the 3 year mark and 3 individuals developed the disease at the 4 year mark what is the incidence rate of drug induced lupus
An agricultural scientist tests six types of fertilizer, labeled A, B, C, D, E, and F, to determine whether any of them produces an increase in the yield of lima beans over that obtained with the current fertilizer. For fertilizer C, the increase in yield is statistically significant at the 0.05 level. For the other five, the increase is not statistically significant. The scientist concludes that the yield obtained with fertilizer C is greater than that of the current fertilizer. Explain why this conclusion is not justified.
The process for cleaning up waste in a nuclear reactor core room eliminates 85% of the waste present in the area. If there is 1.7 kg of waste in the room at the beginning of the monitoring period and 2 kg of additionalwaste are generated each week, determine a recurrence relation and initial conditions describing the amount wn, of waste in the core room at the end of week n of the monitoring period.
Suppose that a magazinemagazine predicted that Candidate A would defeat Candidate B in a certain election. They conducted a poll of its subscribersits subscribers with a response rate of 2424%. On the basis of the results, the magazinemagazine predicted that Candidate A would win with 57% of the popular vote. However, Candidate B won the election with about 62% of the popular vote. At the time of this poll, most subscribers to the magazinesubscribers to the magazine belonged to the party of Candidate A. Name two biases that led to this incorrect prediction.Choose the correct answer below. A.Nonresponse bias: The low response rate caused bias.Response bias: The way the poll was administered showed bias. B.Sampling bias: Using an incorrect frame led to undercoverage.Nonresponse bias: The low response rate caused bias. C.Sampling bias: Using an incorrect frame led to undercoverage.Response bias: The way the poll was administered showed bias. Click to select your answer.
A school district started using a new criteria for selecting which students entered their "accelerated" math track, starting in 6th grade. The study found that under the new criteria about 75% of the students in the district were eligible for accelerated math in 6th grade, but that from one year to the next only about 2/3 of the students stayed in the accelerated track. a) Assuming that everyone who is eligible enrolls the first year, make a TABLE that shows the percent of the students in the district that would be expected to be enrolled in the accelerated track each year from 6th grade until 10th grade. Please show the work you used to fill in your table. b) Considering that from one year to the next about 2/3 of the students stay in the accelerated track, is there a grade level in which you'd expect about 1/10 as many students in the accelerated track as there were in 6th grade? Does the number of students in the accelerated track in 6th grade affect your answer? Please show your…
A marriage counselor has traditionally seen that the proportion p of all married couples for whom her communication program can prevent divorce is 79%. After making some recent changes, the marriage counselor now claims that her program can prevent divorce in mot e than 79% of married couples. In a random sample of 225 married couples who completed her program, 194 of them stayed together. is there enougn evidence to suppore che marriage counselor's claim at the 0.10 level of sionificance:
A random selection of volunteers at a research institute has been exposed to a weak flu virus. After the volunteers began to have flu symptoms, 10 of them were given multivitamin tablets daily that contained 1 gram of vitamin C and 3 grams of various other vitamins and minerals. The remaining 10 volunteers were given tablets containing 4 grams of vitamin C only. For each individual, the length of time taken to recover from the flu was recorded. At the end of the experiment the following data were obtained. Suppose that it is known that the population standard deviation of recovery time from the flu is 1.8 days when treated with multivitamins and that the population standard deviation of recovery time from the flu is 1.5 days when treated with vitamin C tablets. Suppose also that both populations are approximately normally distributed. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference −μ1μ2 between the mean recovery time when treated with multivitamins (μ1) and the mean recovery…

Before the recent downturn, one airline bragged that 90% of its flights were on time. A random sample of 210 flights completed this year reveals that 196 were on time. Can we conclude that the airline's on-time performance has improved? (Let α = 0.10)
