An oil explorer must decide whether to drill on a site before her option expires or to abandon her rights to the site. Drilling a well costs $100,000. If oil is struck, the explorer will sell and make a $500,000 profit. The explorer can hire a geologist to take a seismic sounding of the site at the cost of $10,000. Such soundings reveal, with certainty, whether the geophysical substructure of the land is of type A, type B or Type C, where each type has a different degree of favorability for the existence of oil. From experience, the probability that a certain substructure will occur, given that oil exists, is P(type A|oil) = 14/28 P(type B|oil) = 9/28 P(type C|oil) = 5/28. Further, the following probabilities for substructures at this site are P(type A) = 0.20 P(type B) = 0.30 P(type C) = 0.50 given that P(oil) = 0.28. Perform a decision tree analysis. Determine the EVPI and EVE.
The regional office of the Environmental Protection Agency annually hires second-year law students as summer interns to help the agency prepare court cases. The agency is under a budget and wishes to keep its costs at a minimum. However, hiring student interns is less costly than hiring full-time employees. Accordingly, the agency wishes to hire the maximum number of students without overstaffing. On the average, it takes two interns all summer to research a case. The interns turn their work over to staff attorneys, who prosecute the cases in the fall when the circuit court convenes. The legal staff coordinator has to place his budget request in June of the preceding summer for the number of positions he wishes to maintain. It is therefore impossible for him to know with certainty how many cases will be researched in the following summer. The data from the preceding summers are as follows Year: 1987 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 Cases: 6…
In the process of producing engine valves, the valves are subjected to a first grind. Valves whose thicknesses are within the specification are ready for installation. Those valves whose thicknesses are above the specification are reground, while those whose thicknesses are below the specification are scrapped. Assume that after the first grind, 70% of the valves meet the specification, 20% are reground, and 10% are scrapped. Furthermore, assume that of those valves that are reground, 90% meet the specification, and 10% are scrapped. a) Find the probability that a valve is ground only once. b) Given that a valve is not reground, what is the probability that it is scrapped? c) Find the probability that a valve is scrapped. d) Given that a valve is scrapped, what is the probability that it was ground twice? e) Find the probability that the valve meets the specification (after either the first or second grind). f) Given that a valve meets the specification (after either the first or…

Recreate the given figure for a call center that wants to achieve a 40 percent no hold rate. Suppose that agents only become cost effective (where the revenue they generate exceeds their cost) if they have 90 percent utilization. How large, in terms of number of agents, does the call center need to be to have agents that are generating a positive profit? If mean call time is 5 minutes, what would the arrival rate need to be for 90 percent agent utilization with this many agents?
v The City Council proposed to utilize a government-owned land with an area of 21,600 square meters. One-third of it will be used for a picnic area while the rest of the land will be planted by mango trees. As the city engineer, you were tasked to determine the number of mango trees that leads to a maximum yield given that if 50 trees are planted, the average yield per tree will be 400 kilos while the average yield will decrease by 2 kilos per tree for each additional tree on the same area due to overcrowding.

The Megabuck Hospital Corp. is to build a state-subsidized nursing home catering to homeless patients as well as high-income patients. State regulations require that every subsidized nursing home must house a minimum of 750 homeless patients and no more than 900 high-income patients in order to qualify for state subsidies. The overall capacity of the hospital is to be 1,800 patients. The board of directors, under pressure from a neighborhood group, insists that the number of homeless patients should not exceed twice the number of high-income patients. Due to the state subsidy, the hospital will make an average profit of $9,500 per month for every homeless patient it houses, whereas the profit per high-income patient is estimated at $8,000 per month. How many of each type of patient should it house in order to maximize profit? HINT [See Example 3.] (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.) high-income patients: homeless: profit:

A farmer wants to start raising cows, horses, goats, and sheep and desires to have a rectangular pasture for the animals to graze in. However, no two different kinds of animals can graze together. In order to minimize the amount of fencing she will need, she has decided to enclose a large rectangular area and then divide it into four equally sized pens by adding three segments of fence inside the large rectangle that are parallel to two existing sides (see attached image). She has decided to purchase 7500 ft of fencing. What is the maximum possible area that each of the four pens will enclose? Make sure to include units in your answer.
