More Retail Discount Wars Your Abercrom B men’s fashion outlet has a 30% chance of launching an expensive new line of used auto-mechanic dungarees (complete with grease stains) and a 70% chance of staying instead with its traditional torn military-style dungarees. Your rival across from you in the mall, Abercrom A, appears to be deciding between a line of torn gym shirts and a more daring line of “empty shirts” (that is, empty shirt boxes). Your corporate spies reveal that there is a 20% chance that Abercrom A will opt for the empty shirt option. The following payoff matrix gives the number of customers your outlet can expect to gain from Abercrom A in each situation:
What is the expected resulting effect on your customer base?

An angler fishes half of their time at East Delaney Lake, one quarter of their time at South Delaney Lake, and one quarter of their time at North Delaney Lake. Each lake has only two types of trout, brown trout and cutthroat trout.
In East Delaney Lake, 6% of the trout are brown trout.
In South Delaney Lake 64% of the trout are brown trout.
In North Delaney Lake 69% of the trout are brown trout.
Assume that any individual trout fish has the same chance of being caught by an angler spending time at that lake. Given that the angler caught a brown trout, what is the conditional probability that they caught the trout on North Delaney Lake? Use three decimal place accuracy.
Perry’s Garden Center sells three brands of riding mowers—Ranger, Turfmaster, and Colt. Fifty percent of the riding mowers they sell are Rangers, thirty five percent Turfmasters, and fifteen percent Colts. Each brand of mower comes with a one-year parts and labor warranty. Based on their records, Perry knows that the chance of a warranty claim is five percent for the Ranger, 15% for the Turfmaster, and 25% for the Colt. If Perry’s service manager tells him that a riding mower has just been brought in for a repair covered by the warranty,
a. What is the chance that the riding mower is a Colt?
b. What is the chance that the riding mower is a Turfmaster?
C.What is the chance that the riding mower is a Ranger?
A study of high school juniors in three districts – Belvidere, Rockford, and Byron – was conducted to determine enrollment trends in AP mathematics courses – Calculus or Statistics. 42% of students in the study came from Rockford, 37% from Belvidere, and the rest from Bryon. In Rockford, 64% of the juniors took Statistics and the rest took Calculus. 58% of juniors in Belvidere and 49% of juniors in Byron took Statistics while the rest took Calculus in each district. No juniors took both Statistics and Calculus.
a.Describe this situation using a tree diagram.
b.Find the probability that a randomly selected student from in the study took Statistics.

- One of the issues that usually come up in the US presidential elections is how to deal with a sluggish economy. Specifically, should the government cut spending, raise taxes, inflate the economy by printing more money, or do none of the above and let the deficit rise? And as with most other issues, politicians need to know which parts of the electorate support these options. Suppose that a random sample of 1,000 people was asked which option they support and their political affiliations. The possible responses to the question about the preferred economic option were the four options mentioned above (i.e., Cut, Raise, Inflate, and Let), and to the question about political affiliation the respondents could answer Democrat, Republican, or Independent (which included a variety of political persuasions). The responses are summarised in the table below. Do these data allow us to conclude at the 1% significance level that political affiliation affects support for the economic options?…arrow_forwardA venture capitalist, willing to invest $1,000,000$1,000,000, has three investments to choose from.

Pairs of participants were told to eat a snack of salsa and chips with a stranger, after which they engaged in a negotiation task. After which, they engaged in a negotation task. Half of the participant-pairs were randomly assigned to share a plate of salsa and chips, and the other half of participant-pairs were randomly assigned to eat their own individual servings. More specifically, the researchers reported that "participants were run in pairs of strangers.

William Emory discuss a market researcher for an automaker who is studying consumer preferences for styling features of larger sedans. Buyers, who were classified as “first-time” buyers or “repeat” buyers, were asked to express their preference for one of two types of styling—European styling or Japanese styling. Of 40 first-time buyers, 11 preferred European styling and 29 preferred Japanese styling. Of 60 repeat buyers, 41 preferred European styling and 19 preferred Japanese styling. (a) Set up a contingency table for these data. (b) Test the hypothesis that buyer status (repeat versus first-time) and styling preference are independent at the .05 level of significance. What do you conclude? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)arrow_forward
- According to a Gallup poll in October 2015, having young children at home greatly influences whether women in the U.S. prefer to stay at home or work outside of it. More than half of women, 56%, who have a child younger than 18 would ideally like to stay home and care for their house and family, while 58% of those without young children would rather work outside the home. Having young children makes little difference in men's preferences, with close to three-quarters preferring to work regardless of their parenting status. Gallup states that their method has a margin of error of 0.031.(a) Give a point estimate for the proportion of all US women with a child under 18 that would like to stay at home.(b) Give an interval estimate for the proportion of all US women with a child under 18 that would like to stay at home. Use three decimal places in your answer.( , )(c) What is the difference between a point estimate and an interval estimate?arrow_forwardASAP!! A firm purchases a microchip used in the manufacturing of LED screens from four different suppliers. TechZone supplies 32 percent of the total microchips, Advance Electronics 20 percent, PSP importers 23 percent, and TechParts inc. 25 percent. TechZone tends to have the best quality, as only 1 percent of its microchips arrive defective. Advance Electronics chips are 3 percent defective, PSP importers chips are 6 percent defective, and Parts Inc. are 5.5 percent defective. If a random chip is selected, what is the probability that the chip is defective A defective chip was discovered in the latest shipment. What is the probability that it came from TechZone supplies? A defective chip was discovered in the latest shipment. What is the probability that it came from TechParts Inc.?arrow_forward
