blady has to decide whether to resign or not from his present position and apply for job offering him twice his present monthly salary, that is if he passes the qualifying test. At present he receives $3,000 monthly compensation. The offer in another company has a condition that he will not be allowed to take qualifying test, unless he resigns from his present post. If he passes the qualifying test he will immediately be taken in and have a monthly salary pay of $6,000. If he fails, he will remain jobless. He feels that his chance of passing the test is 35%. Suppose he decides to base his decision on his expected value, should he resign from his post or not?

TION 18 Wholemark is an Internet order business that sells one popular New Year's greeting card once a year. The cost of the paper on which the card is printed is $0.05 per card, and the cost of printing is $0.15 per card. The company receives $2.15 per card sold. Since the cards have the current year printed on them, unsold cards have no salvage value. Its customers are from the four areas: Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Hollywood, and Pasadena. Based on past data, the number of customers from each of the four regions is normally distributed with a mean of 2,000 and a standard deviation 500. (Assume these four are independent.)What is the optimal production quantity for the card? (Use Excel's NORM.S.INV() function to find the z value. Round z value to 2 decimal places. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
It was wartime when the Ricardos found out Mrs. Ricardo was pregnant. Ricky Ricardo was drafted and made out a will, deciding that $14,000 in a savings account was to be divided between his wife and his child-to-be. Rather strangely, and certainly with gender bias, Ricky stipulated that if the child were a boy, he would get twice the amount of the mother's portion. If it were a girl, the mother would get twice the amount the girl was to receive. We'll never know what Ricky was thinking, for (as fate would have it) he did not return from war. Mrs. Ricardo gave birth to twins-a boy and a girl. How was the money divided?
A business executive, transferred from Chicago to Atlanta, needs to sell her house in Chicago quickly. The executive's employer has offered to buy the house for 212,000, but the offer expires at the end of the week. The executive does not currently have a better offer but can afford to leave the house on the market for another month. From conversations with her realtor, the executive believes the price she will get by leaving the house on the market for another month is uniformly distributed between $200,000 and 230,000. (a) If she leaves the house on the market for another month, what is the mathematical expression for the probability density function of the sales price? Let x = sales price. (b) If she leaves it on the market for another month, what is the probability she will get at least $224,000 for the house? (c) If she leaves it on the market for another month, what is the probability she will get less than $212,000? (d) Should the executive leave the house on the…

The Brady & Matthew Camera Company has just come out with their newest professional quality digital camera, the ToughPix1. The company is selling this camera only through its new mobile app at a profit of $186 per camera. This purchase comes with a guarantee that, barring gross negligence, if the camera breaks in the first two years after purchase, Brady & Matthew will replace it free of charge. Replacing a camera in this way costs the company $3100 . Suppose for each ToughPix1 there is a 4% chance that it will need to be replaced exactly once, a 1% chance that it will need to be replaced exactly twice, and a 95% chance that it will not need to be replaced. If Brady & Matthew knows that it will sell many of these cameras, should it expect to make or lose money from selling them? How much? To answer, take into account the profit earned on each camera and the expected value of the cost of replacements of the camera. Brady &…
