A consumer is contemplating the purchase of a new smart phone. A consumer magazine reports data on the major brands.Brand A has lifetime (TA),which is exponentially distributed with m=0.2;and Brand B has lifetime (TB),which is exponentially distributed with m = 0.1 (The unit of time is one year) a. Find the expected lifetimes for A and B. If a consumer must choose between the two on the basis of maximizing expected lifetime, which on should be chosed? b.Find the probability that A's lifetime exceeds its expected value.Do the same for B.

An analyst estimates there is a probability of 18 percent that there will be a recession next year. He thinks the probability of things being normal is three times the probability of a recession, with the remaining probability assigned to a boom taking place. A stock is expected to return -12 percent in a recession, 10 percent under normal conditions and 24 percent if there is a boom. What is the expected return (in percent) on this stock?

To generate leads for new business, Gustin Investment Services offers free financial planning seminars at major hotels in Southwest Florida. Gustin conducts seminars for groups of 25 individuals. Each seminar costs Gustin $3900, and the average first-year commission for each new account opened is $5500. Gustin estimates that for each individual attending the seminar, there is a 0.01 probability that he/she will open a new account. Determine the equation for computing Gustin’s profit per seminar, given values of the relevant parameters. Round your answers to the nearest dollar.Profit = (New Accounts Opened × $ fill in the blank 1) – $ fill in the blank 2 What type of random variable is the number of new accounts opened? (Hint: Review Appendix 16.1 for descriptions of various types of probability distributions.)The number of new accounts opened is a random variable with fill in the blank 4 trials and fill in the blank 5 probability of a success on a single trial.
To win a point in racquetball, a player must serve and then win a rally. If p is the probability of winning a rally, then the probability S of achieving a shutout (winning 21-0) is given byS = (1 + p)/2 * ( p/ 1 - p + p2 )21Provided of course that each player is equally likely to have an initial serve. Note that the probabilities are strictly between 0 and 1. Find the rate of change of S with respect to p.
