- Answer soon with in a hour for upvotes?arrow_forwardIn your opinion, is it important that an organization set standards and measure them monthly? Why or why not?arrow_forwardThe Siler Construction Company is about to bid on a new industrial construction project. To formulate their bid, the company needs to estimate the time required for the project. Based on past experience, management expects that the project will require at least 24 months, and could take as long as 48 months if there are complications. The most likely scenario is that the project will require 30 months. a. Assume that the actual time for the project can be approximated using a triangular probability distribution. What is the probability that the project will take less than 30 months? b. What is the probability that the project will take between 28 and 32 months? c. To submit a competitive bid, the company believes that if the project takes more than 36 months, then the company will lose money on the project. Management does not want to bid on the project if there is greater than a 25% chance that they will lose money on this project. Should the company bid on this project?arrow_forward

Or do I use 1/12 and think of the 30 days as one month? Or does it even matter? I was also wondering if I would ever just use 252 since that is the number of trading days in the year? So, for example, 30 days would be 30/252 of a year in the Black-Scholes formula? I think the calculations all lead to minimal differences, but I am wondering if there is a set rule or standard protocol? Thanks!arrow_forward

Show that your probability distribution satisfies the conditions for a valid discrete probability distribution. What is the probability that a person is unemployed for two months or less?
