Chapter 3.5, Problem 22E
The saleswoman in Example 2 has been offered a new job that has a fixed weekly salary of $290.
a. According to Decision Theory, what choice should the saleswoman make?
b. In Example 2, the saleswoman's most likely weekly commission was $300. With her new job, she will always make $290 per week. This implies that she would be better off with the old job. Is this reasoning more or less warranted than that used in part (a). Why?
Example 2 COMPUTING AN EXPECTED VALUE By analyzing her sales records, a
saleswoman has found that her weekly commissions have the probabilities in
Figure 3.21. Find the saleswoman’s expected commission.
Commission | 0 | $100 | $200 | $300 | $400 |
Probability | 0.05 | 0.15 | 0.25 | 0.45 | 1 |

. Jane Tarheel is producing “Beat Dook” T-shirts to see outside the Dean Dome beforethe big game. She plans to sell the t-shirts, which cost her $6 to make, for $12.Rose’s Department Store has offered to purchase any leftover t-shirts for $2. Janeisn’t sure how much demand will exist for her shirts, but she knows it will be between100 and 300 shirts. Lacking any better information, she assume any value within thatrange is equally likely (i.e., demand is distributed uniformly between 100 and 300).How many shirts should Jane produce?

Complete parts (a) through (e).
a. A buyer can afford to pay up to $350 thousand. Assuming sellers will not lower their asking prices, what proportion of the homes can the buyer afford?
The proportion of homes that the buyer can afford is 0.939.
(Round to the nearest thousandth as needed.)
b. What proportion of the homes have asking prices between $150 thousand and $250 thousand?
The proportion of homes with asking prices between $150 thousand and $250 thousand is
(Round to the nearest thousandth as needed.)
c. If there were two outliers, estimate their values.
The values of the outliers are
thousand and
V thousand.
d. It turns out that the two homes with asking prices you identified in part (c) also have square footages that are outliers. Why does this make sense?

Suppose a certain manufacturing company produces connecting rods for 4- and 6-cylinder automobile engines using the same production line. The cost required to set up
the production line to produce the 4-cylinder connecting rods is $2,400, and the cost required to set up the production line for the 6-cylinder connecting rods is $3,600.
Manufacturing costs are $14 for each 4-cylinder connecting rod and $19 for each 6-cylinder connecting rod. Hawkins makes a decision at the end of each week as to which
product will be manufactured the following week. If a production changeover is necessary from one week to the next, the weekend is used to reconfigure the production line.
Once the line has been set up, the weekly production capacities are 5,000 6-cylinder connecting rods and 7,000 4-cylinder connecting rods. Let
56
= 1 if the production line is set up to produce the 6-cylinder connecting rods; 0 if otherwise

- Suppose a certain manufacturing company produces connecting rods for 4- and 6-cylinder automobile engines using the same production line. The cost required to set up the production line to produce the 4-cylinder connecting rods is $2,600, and the cost required to set up the production line for the 6-cylinder connecting rods is $3,400. Manufacturing costs are $15 for each 4-cylinder connecting rod and $17 for each 6-cylinder connecting rod. Hawkins makes a decision at the end of each week as to which product will be manufactured the following week. If a production changeover is necessary from one week to the next, the weekend is used to reconfigure the production line. Once the line has been set up, the weekly production capacities are 5,000 6-cylinder connecting rods and 9,000 4-cylinder connecting rods. Let X4 = the number of 4-cylinder connecting rods produced next week X6 = the number of 6-cylinder connecting rods produced next week $4 = 1 if the production line is set up to produce…arrow_forwardA friend who lives in Los Angeles makes frequent consultingtrips to Washington, D.C.; 50% of the time shetravels on airline #1, 30% of the time on airline #2, and the remaining 20% of the time on airline #3.

LLC), 2018 a O b O c O d earrow_forwardHarriet McNeil, proprietor of McNeil’s Auto Mall, believes that it is good business for her automobile dealership to have more customers on the lot than can be served, as she believes this creates an impression that demand for the automobiles on her lot is high. However, she also understands that if there are far more customers on the lot than can be served by her salespeople, her dealership may lose sales to customers who become frustrated and leave without making a purchase. Ms. McNeil is primarily concerned about the staffing of salespeople on her lot on Saturday mornings (8:00 a.m. to noon), which are the busiest time of the week for McNeil’s Auto Mall. On Saturday mornings, an average of 6.8 customers arrive per hour. The customers arrive randomly at a constant rate throughout the morning, and a salesperson spends an average of one hour with a customer. Ms. McNeil’s experience has led her to conclude that if there are two more customers on her lot than can be served at any time on…arrow_forwardIn each question, select ONE response from the provided alternative responses.
