When a new machine is functioning properly, only 6% of the items produced are defective. Assume that we will randomly select two parts produced on the machine and thatwe are interested in the number of defective parts found.(a) Describe the conditions under which this situation would be a binomial experiment.

A few minutes ago, Joe Doe learned that his company was having a bad year and thus merit salary increases will be smaller than expected. His division’s budget has been set and so he knows that he will receive a salary increase of $400 over his present salary. Joe Doe has also been offered a transfer to another division in the company. He is unsure of the salary situation in the other division. However, his best information leads him to conclude that if he took the new job, there is a 60% chance that he would receive a salary increase of $600 over his present salary, and a 40% chance that he would receive only a $150 increase over his present salary. To summarize, Joe Doe can either stick with his current job and get a salary increase of $400, or take a transfer to a new job and get a salary increase of either $600 with a 60% probability, or $150 with a 40% probability.

What is the probability that a randomly chosen customer orders wine?b. If wine is ordered, what is the probability that the person ordering is a regular customer?c. If wine is ordered, what is the probability that the person ordering is an occasional customer?
31 You see a TV commercial that states that “seven out of ten physicians surveyed prefer the ingredients in pain reliever X to plain aspirin.” You write the company because you are curious about the survey, and to your amazement, you find that the survey was of exactly ten physicians. Suppose the population of physicians was indifferent as to the advertised product and plain aspirin, that is, 50% preferred aspirin and 50% preferred the advertised product. What is the probability that a survey of ten randomly selected physicians would find seven or more who preferred the advertised product? a 0.0619 b 0.1031 c 0.1719 d 0.2265
An experiment consists of four outcomes with P(E1) = 0.2, P(E2) = 0.3, and P(E3) = 0.4. The probability of outcome E4 is Group of answer choices 0.900. 0.500. 0.024. 0.100.
Suppose that there are two types of workers: high and low. Employers cannot distinguish between different types during an interview. Employers value high type at $200,000 and low type at $100,000. Employers are in a competitive market (i.e. zero profit applies). High type workers have a reservation wage of 140,000 and low type workers have a reservation wage of 80,000. Suppose that 50% of all workers are high type. The productivities, reservation wages, and the probabilities are common knowledge). What wage would the employers offer? Please explain the solution!

2. Kier, in The scenario, wants to determine how each of the 3 companies will decide on possible new investments. He was able to determine the new investment pay off for each of the three choices as well as the probability of the two types of market. If a company will launch product 1, it will gain 50,000 if the market is successful and lose 50,000 if the market is a failure. If a company will launch product 2, it will gain 25,000 if the market is successful and lose 25,000 if the market will fail. If a company decides not to launch any of the product, it will not be affected whether the market will succeed or fail. There is a 56% probability that the market will succeed and 44% probability that the market will fail. What will be the companies decision based on EMV? What is the decision of each company based on expected utility value?
ADVERSE SELECTIONSomet Health Insurance Company wants to sell a health insurance product for $700 permonth. There is no requirement for healthy people to have insurance coverage. Thecompany conducts a survey to see how different populations respond to the proposed cost.People with no illnesses and disabilities, generally the young and healthy, respond that theydo not spend $700 on healthcare in an entire year, and most feel they would not waste somuch money on premiums when the chance of needing surgery or expensive healthcaretreatments is so small. However, older, sicker people think that $700 per month is a greatdeal, as most of them spend far in excess of this amount on healthcare. It seems like agreat deal for them. What will happen to the costs of the health insurance if only the older, sicker peopleenroll?
