Problem:
We have been operating our mobile food truck business now for 30 days at the Harvard University Campus. Our daily sales and number of customers are increasing at a constant rate. Our problem is that we do not know if our customers are happy with the quality and variety of the food, the level of pricing, or the courtesy of our staff.
You will design a four-to-five question survey that we could pose to our prospects to solve our problem.

Even though independent gasoline stations have been having a difficult time, Susan
Solomon has been thinking about starting her own independent gasoline station.
Susan's problem is to decide how large her station should be. The annual returns will
depend on both the size of her station and a number of marketing factors related to the
oil industry and demand for gasoline. After a careful analysis, Susan developed the
following table:
Size of First

- Hudson Corporation is considering three options for managing its data processing operation: continuing with its own staff, hiring an outside vendor to do the managing, or using a combination of its staff and an outside vendor. The profit of the corporation depends on future demand. The annual profit of each option (in thousands of dollars) depends on demand as follows: Demand Staffing Options High Median Low Own staff 650 650 600 Outside vendor 900 600 300 Combination 800 650 500 Recommend a decision based on the use of the optimistic, conservative, and minimax regret approaches. If the demand probabilities are 0.2, 0.5, and 0.3, respectively for High, Median, and Low demands, use the expected value approach to determine the optimal decision(show steps).arrow_forwardCalculating outcomes as equally likely would BEST describe: O a.

- A circus is scheduled to appear in a city on a given date. The profits obtained are heavily dependent on the weather which can be classified as "good" or" bad". The circus owners may choose to setup operations in a large open field that is centrally located or rent a small building to stage a small version of the circus. The small building is not expected to be adversely affected by bad weather – thus will not affect the circus for it is well secure and has covered parking for the guests. The following shows the profits of the options and states of nature: States of nature Decision alternatives Set up in field Rent small building | Probability Good Bad $14,500 $5,000 -$15,000 $4,000 P(G)=0.5 P(B)=0.5 The circus owners may choose to delay the decision until the day before the event is due. At this time they can obtain the one-day weather report (free) which is usually reliable. This delay will however increase their set up cost by $1000.00 or if they choose to rent, the rental cost will…arrow_forwardIn the past, Peter Kelle's tire dealership in Baton Rouge sold an average of 1,000 radials each year.
