Chapter 4.4, Problem 49E
Campaign Strategies27 Florida and Ohio are “swing states” that have a large bounty of electoral votes and are therefore highly valued by presidential campaign strategists. Suppose that it is now the weekend before Election Day 2012, and each candidate (Romney and Obama) can visit only one more state. Further, to win the election, Romney needs to win both of these states. Currently, Romney has a 40% chance of winning Ohio and a 60% chance of winning Florida. Therefore, he has a
a. Set up a payoff matrix with Romney as the row player and Obama as the column player, where the payoff for a specific set of circumstances is the probability (expressed as a percentage) that Romney will win both states.
b. Where should each candidate visit under the circumstances?

Flasher Marketing Research (FMR) specializes in assessing the prospects for a women's clothing store in a central hub. Al Flashner, the company's director, explains that he rates a prospect based on good, fair, and bad criteria. Records show that 60 percent of store prospects are good, 30 percent are fair, and 10 percent are bad. Of the stores that had a good prospect, 80 percent of the profits in the first year, from sufficient stores, 60 percent of them made a profit in the first year, and of the stores that had a bad chance, 20 percent made a profit in the first year. Connie's women's clothing store is one of Flashner's customers. Connie's women's clothing store made a fortune in the last year. What is the probability that the shop has a bad prospect?

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.?
