- QUESTION 5 A country club wants to exam the effects of a new marketing campaign that attempts to get more people within the community to become members. In many communities, when people buy a house in the area, they receive a “Welcome Wagon” gift basket containing coupons to local restaurants. The idea of the marketing campaign is to include a free two month membership to the country club in the gift basket with the hope that once “new” residents try the country club then at least a certain proportion will want to become real members. One member of the Club’s Executive Council believes that at least 80% of the people who receive the coupons for the free membership will use the coupon. In a sample of 197 new residents who received the coupon for the two month free membership, there were 136 people who actually took advantage of the free two month membership. When testing the hypothesis that at least 80% of the people that receive the coupon actually use it, what is the test statistic?…arrow_forwardQuestion 4 A country club wants to exam the effects of a new marketing campaign that attempts to get more people within the community to become members.

Based on readership data, you estimate that each one-page ad in Magazine A will be read by 575,000 people in your target group, while each one-page ad in Magazine B will be read by 275,000 people in your target group. You would like your ads to be read by at least 5 million people in the target group, and, to ensure the broadest possible audience, you would like to place at least four full-page ads in each magazine during the year. Draw the feasible region showing how many pages you can purchase in each magazine. Find the corner points of the region. (Place Magazine A on the x-axis and Magazine B on the y-axis.) Find the corner points of the region. (Order your answers from smallest to largest x, then from smallest to largest y. If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.

Their wealth will be equal to y if their ship returns safely from Asia loaded with the finest silk. If the ship sinks, their income will be y − L. The chance of a safe return is 50%. Now suppose that there are two identical merchants, A and B, who are both risk averse expected utility maximisers with utility of income given by u(y) = ln y. The income of each merchant will be 8 if their own ship returns and 2 if it sinks. As previously, the probability of a safe return is 50% for each ship. However, with probability p ≤ 1/2 both ships will return safely. With the same probability p both will sink. Finally, with the remaining probability, only one ship will return safely. (iv) Compute the increase in the utility of each merchant that they could achieve from pooling their incomes (as a function of p). How does the benefit of pooling depend on the probability p? Explain intuitively why this…arrow_forwardThis is a multipart question 6.) Diesel Dave has modified his massive truck to combat global cooling, and to roll coal on his neighbor Environmentalist Ed. With each blast of diesel exhaust fumes, Diesel Dave releases sulfur dioxide in a giantblack cloud. Every morning as Diesel Dave is leaving home he rolls coal into Environmentalist Ed's yard. Not surprisingly, Environmentalist Ed is diligently collecting data on the air quality in his yard. Suppose Diesel Davereleases sulfur dioxide in a normally distributed manner with a mean of 2800 ppm and a standard deviation of 120 ppm. What is the probability that on a random morning he will release sulfur dioxide greater than 3000ppm? Suppose in order to sue Diesel Dave, Environmentalist Ed needs the daily average level of sulfur dioxide emissions to exceed 3000 ppm. However, he can choose to take his mean measurement over 2, 3, or 15 days. Which number of days would maximize Environmentalist Edís chances of suing Diesel Dave? (Hint: What…arrow_forward

- Assume the chances of failure of each component is given in Figure. What is the probability that the system would not work? .arrow_forwardQuestion #1 A venture capitalist, willing to invest $1,000,000, has three investments to choose from. The first investment, a software company, has a 5% chance of returning $8,000,000 profit, a 30% chance of returning $1,000,000 profit, and a 65% chance of losing the million dollars. The second company, a hardware company, has a 15% chance of returning $3,000,000 profit, a 50% chance of returning $1,000,000 profit, and a 35% chance of losing the million dollars. The third company, a biotech firm, has a 20% chance of returning $7,000,000 profit, a 25% of no profit or loss, and a 55% chance of losing the million dollars. Order the expected values from smallest to largest.arrow_forwardToward the middle of the harvesting season, peaches for canning come in three types, early, late, and extra late, depending on the expected date of ripening.
