XYZ Corporation is deciding whether to develop a new product or not. The probability of successful development is 0.4 with a value of 400 and probability of failure is 60% with a value of -200. The not develop has a value of O. Suppose a survey is available from ABC Company that indicates whether the new product will be successful or a failure. The accuracy of this survey is P("Success" | Success) = 0.8 and P("Fail" | Fail) = 0.7. The following flipped probabilities were determined: P("Success") = 0.5, P(Success | "Success") = 0.64, and P(Failure | “Failure") = 0.84. Determine the value of imperfect information.

An independent research group is interested in showing that the percentage of babies delivered through the the Cesarian section decreases. For the past years, 20% of the babies were delivered through the Cesarian section. The research group randomly inspects the medical records of 144 births and finds that 25 of the births were by Cesarian section. Can the research group conclude that the percent of births by Cesarian section has decreased at 5% level of significance?
A nutritionist believes that obesity is more prevalent among American adults than it was in the past. He discovers that in a study conducted in the year 1994, 380 of the 1630 randomly chosen adults were classified as obese. However, in a more recent study, he finds 726 out of 2350 randomly chosen adults were classified as obese. At α = 0.05, do these studies provide evidence to support the nutritionist's claim that the proportion of obese adults has significantly increased since 1994?

In the past decade, two presidential elections in the United States have witnessed very long wait times at precincts (voting stations) in states that ultimately decided the election (Florida in 2000 and Ohio in 2004). In Philadelphia as well, some voters complained about the long lines in some precincts, with most complaints coming from precinct A. In 2004, the average number of voters arriving at Precinct A was 35 per hour and the arrivals of voters was random with inter-arrival times that had a coefficient of variation of 1 (CVa=1). Philadelphia deployed 1 voting machine in Precinct A. Suppose that each voter spent on average 100 seconds in the voting booth (this is the time needed to cast her/his vote using a voting machine), with a standard deviation of 120 seconds. Given the long wait times for Precinct A, the city of Philadelphia is thinking of alternative solutions to improve voting conditions. One of the proposed solutions is as follows. Proposal 1: Deploy an additional voting…

A large nationwide survey showed that 65% of high school students like Coca-Cola better than Pepsi. Dr.Johnson conducted a small survey of randomly selected high school students in Michigan and found that 180 ofthe 300 surveyed students liked Coca-Cola better than Pepsi. Test if the proportion of students that preferCoca-Cola over Pepsi is significantly different than the percentage indicated by the nationwide survey with asignificance level of 5%.
A recent drug survey showed an increase in the use of drugs and alcohol among local high school seniors as compared to the national percent. Suppose that a survey of 100 local seniors and 100 national seniors is conducted to see if the proportion of drug and alcohol use is higher locally than nationally. Locally, 67 seniors reported using drugs or alcohol within the past month, while 61 national seniors reported using them. Conduct a hypothesis test at the 5% level.NOTE: If you are using a Student's t-distribution for the problem, including for paired data, you may assume that the underlying population is normally distributed. (In general, you must first prove that assumption, though.) State the distribution to use for the test. (Round your answers to four decimal places.) P'local − P'national ~ ,
