According to a study administered by the National Bureau of Economic Research, half of Americans would struggle to come up with $2000$2000 in the event of a financial emergency. The majority of the 19001900 Americans surveyed said they would rely on more than one method to come up with emergency funds if required. In the survey, 397397 people said that they "certainly" would not be able to cope with an unexpected $2000$2000 bill if they had to come up with the money in 3030 days, and 553553 people said they "probably" would not be able to cope.
Step 2 of 2 :
What percentage of Americans would "probably" not be able to pay a $2000$2000 bill in 3030 days if required? Round your answer to one decimal place, if necessary.
Consider the following three systems: (a) a single component with failure rate one per year, (b) two components in series, each of which has failure rate one every two years, and (c) two components in parallel, each of which has failure rate two per year. Compare the reliability of these three systems assuming an exponential failure law.

Clerk one works at rate 14/hour; Clerk two at rate 18/hour; Clerk three at rate 20/hour; and Clerk four at rate 16/hour. All service times are independent and exponential.

After sorting, some of the solid refuse will be transported to an electric powerplant where it will be used as fuel. Data for the hauling of refuse from each site to the power plant are shown in Table P2-4. If the power plant will pay $8.00 per cubic yard of sorted solid waste delivered to the plant, where should the solid-waste site be located? Use the city’s viewpoint and assume that 200,000 cubic yards of refuse will be hauled to the plant for one year only. One site must be selected.arrow_forward
- In a classic study of infant attachment, Harlow (1959) placed infant monkeys in cages with two artificial surrogate mothers. One “mother” was made from bare wire mesh and contained a baby bottle from which the infants could feed. The other mother was made from soft terry cloth and did not provide any access to food. Harlow observed the infant monkeys and recorded how much time per day was spent with each mother. In atypical day, the infants spent a total of 18 hours clinging to one of the two mothers. If there were no preference between the two, you would expect the time to be divided evenly, with an average of μ=9 hours for each of the mothers. However, the typical monkey spent around 15 hours per day with the terry-cloth mother, indicating a strong preference for the soft, cuddly mother. Suppose a sample of n=9 infant monkeys averaged M=15.3 hours per day with SS=216 with the terry-cloth mother. Is this result sufficient to conclude that the monkeys spent significantly more time with…arrow_forwardDentists are increasingly concerned about the growing trend of local school districts to grant soft drink companies exclusive rights to install soda pop machines in schools in return for money-usually millions-that goes directly into school coffers. According to a recent study by the National Soft Drink Association, 62% of schools nationally already have such contracts. This comes at a time when dentists are seeing an alarming increase in horribly decayed teeth and eroded enamel in the mouths of teenagers and young adults. With ready access to soft drinks, children tend to drink them all day. That, combined with no opportunity to brush, leads to disaster, dentists say. Suppose that 20 schools around the country are randomly selected and asked if they have a soft drink contract. Find the probability that the number of 'Yes" answers is A. exactly 8 B. at most 8 C. at least 4 D. between 4 and 12, inclusivearrow_forwardAkiko Hamaguchi, the manager at a small sushi restaurant in Phoenix, Arizona, is concerned that the weak economic environment has hampered foot traffic in her area, thus causing a dramatic decline in sales. Her cousin in San Francisco, Hiroshi Sato, owns a similar restaurant, but he has seemed to prosper during these rough economic times. Hiroshi agrees that higher unemployment rates have likely forced some customers to dine out less frequently, but he maintains an aggressive marketing campaign to thwart this apparent trend. For instance, he advertises in local papers with valuable two-for-one coupons and promotes early-bird specials over the airwaves. Despite the fact that advertising increases overall costs, he believes that this campaign has positively affected sales at his restaurant. In order to support his claim, Hiroshi provides his restaurant’s monthly sales (in $1,000s) and advertising costs (in $), as well as the monthly unemployment rate (in %) from San Francisco County.

- An asset having a useful life of 3 years is purchased on 1 January 2015. Cost of the asset is RO 2,000 whereas its residual value is RO 500.

RO 1500arrow_forwardIn laboratories where clinical tests are carried out, two types of test are available for the detection of a highly contagious virus. The Type A test is very fast and inexpensive while the Type B test is a test that requires more time to obtain a diagnosis and is more expensive. It is known that the economic test. Type A, generates correct diagnosis (C) in 60% of cases. While the Type B test provides the correct diagnosis (C) in 99% of cases. If after six months of quarantine due to this virus the health secretary realizes that 80% of the tests carried out in the state correspond to Type A economic tests and only 20% were Type B. If it is known that a test made an incorrect diagnosis. What is the probability that the Type A economic test did? .9937 .24844 .322 .6211 .3788arrow_forwardCWD Business systems maintains a successful Telecom sales department for Top up call credit in which a clerk takes orders by telephone. If the clerk is occupied on one line, incoming phone calls to the department are answered automatically by an answering machine and asked to wait. As soon as the clerk is free, the party that has waited the longest is transferred and answered first. Calls come in at a rate of about 15 per hour. The clerk is capable of taking an order in an average of 3 minutes. Calls tend to follow a Poisson distribution, and service times tend to be exponential. The clerk is paid $15 per hour, but because of lost goodwill and sales, CWD loses about $30 per hour of customer time spent waiting for the clerk to take an order. d.
