Suppose that there are two types of workers: high and low. Employers cannot distinguish between different types during an interview. Employers value high type at $200,000 and low type at $100,000. Employers are in a competitive market (i.e. zero profit applies). High type workers have a reservation wage of 140,000 and low type workers have a reservation wage of 80,000. Suppose that 50% of all workers are high type. The productivities, reservation wages, and the probabilities are common knowledge). What wage would the employers offer? Please explain the solution!

- A NUMMI assembly line, which has been operating since 1984, builds 900 cars and trucks in a week. Generally, 10% of those cars are defective coming off the assembly line. What type of distribution does the event of having defective cars follow? What are the mean and standard deviation of this random event? (6 points) Can we apply the normal distribution to study this event? Check the conditions and answer the question. (6 points) Find the probability that the assembly line produces at least 825 cars, that are not defective and functional, in a week. Graph the situation, shade in the area to be determined, and find the probability.

Recall that the normal probability table gives area under the curve to the left of a given z value. Since we want the area to the right of z = 3.90 and the area under the entire curve is 1, the area to the left of z = 3.90 can be subtracted from 1. Use the table to find the probability that a student who has done their homework and attended lectures will obtain a grade of A on this test, P(z ≥ 3.90), rounding the result to four decimal places.
