Part 1: Should We Convict?
A woman who was shopping in Los Angeles had her purse stolen by a young, blonde female who was wearing a ponytail. The blonde female got into a yellow car that was driven by a white male who had a mustache and a beard. The police located the blonde female named Janet Collins who wore her hair in a ponytail and had a friend who was a white male who had a mustache and beard and also drove a yellow car. The police arrested the two subjects.

- The Security Company in charge of rescuing visitors in the case of problems at “High Mountain Natural Park” in South Bekaa area has the intention to purchase special trained dogs to help their rescue team, so that they can conduct their search for lost people more efficiently. The rescue team is composed of 10 employees and the company is going to provide each of them with a trained dog. Two types of dogs were selected. The German Shepherd dog breed and the Belgium Malinois breed. The cost of the Belgium Malinois dog breed is $550,00 per dog, while the German Shepherd dog breed is at $850,00 each. For budget reason, the number of German Shepherd dog should be less than half the number of Belgium Malinois. For technical reason, at least three German Shepherd dog must be purchased to get advantage of the special performance of such dog breed in their particular capacity to search for lost person in all weather and under heavy conditions. The overall budget is $6500,00. All of…arrow_forwardEd's Tires and Brakes has two locations, one on the northwest side of town and one on the southeast side of town.

- Three businesswomen are trying to convene in Cincinnati for a business meeting. The first women (Woman 1) is arriving on a flight from Atlanta, the second (Woman 2) is arriving on a flight from Dallas, and the third (Woman 3) is arriving on a flight from Chicago. Historical data suggests that the Atlanta flight is “on time” 90% of the time, the Dallas flight is “on time” 95% of the time, and the Chicago flight is “on time” 80% of the time. Furthermore, historical data suggests that the three flights are independent with respect to on time behavior. Define the sample space for this random experiment. Compute the probability for each of the outcomes in the sample space. Let W denote the number of business women that arrive on time. Construct the probability mass function of W Construct the cumulative distribution function of W Find the expected value of W Compute the standard deviation of Warrow_forwardAn 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.arrow_forward1. A wood manufacturer must decide whether to merge with a larger company to make more investments. If they merge and it is a good sales year, there will be a $910,000 profit; if they merge and it is a poor sales year, there will be a deficit of $ 330,000. If they do not merge and it is a good sales year there will be a $525,000 profit; if they do not merge and it is a poor sales year there will be a $97,000 profit. If the probability of a good sales year is 0.26 and the probability of a poor sales year is 0.76, would merging with the larger company maximize the expected profit?arrow_forward

The school has its own bookstore, called University Book Store, but there are also three private bookstores in town: Bill’s Book Store, College Book Store, and Battle’s Book Store. The university is concerned about the large number of students who are switching to one of the private stores. As a result, South Wisconsin’s president, Andy Lange, has decided to give a student three hours of university credit to look into the problem. The following matrix of transition probabilities was obtained: UNIVERSITY BILL’S COLLEGE BATTLE’S UNIVERSITY 0.6 0.2 0.1 0.1 BILL’S 0 0.7 0.2 0.1 COLLEGE 0.1 0.1 0.8 0 BATTLE’S 0.05 0.05 0.1 0.8 At the present time, each of the four bookstores has an equal share of the market.

- ASAP!! 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_forwardEpsilon Airlines services predominantly the eastern and southeastern United States. The vast majority of Epsilon’s customers make reservations through Epsilon’s website, but a small percentage of customers make reservations via phones. Ebsilon employs call center personnel to handle these reservations and to deal with website reservation system problems and for the rebooking of flights for customers whose plans have changed or whose travel is disrupted. Staffing the call center appropriately is a challenge for Epsilon’s management team. Having too many employees on hand is a waste of money but having too few results in very poor customer service and the potential loss of customers.Epsilon’s analysts have estimated the minimum number of call center employees needed by day of the week for the upcoming vacation season (June, July, and the first two weeks of August). These estimates are as follows: Minimum Number of Day…arrow_forwardA bus company believes that it will need the following numbers of bus drivers during each of the next five years: 60 drivers in year 1; 70 drivers in year 2; 50 drivers in year 3; 65 drivers in year 4; and 75 drivers in year 5. At the beginning of each year, the bus company must decide how many drivers to hire or fire. It costs $4000 to hire a driver and $2000 to firea driver. A driver’s salary is $10,000 per year. At the beginning of year 1, the company has 50 drivers. A driver hired at the beginning of a year can be used to meet the current year’s requirements and is paidfull salary for the current year. a. Determine how to minimize the bus company’s salary, hiring, and firing costs over the next five years. b. Use SolverTable to determine how the total number hired, total number fired, and total cost change as the unit hiring and firing costs each increase by the same percentage.arrow_forward
