The owner of a small firm has just purchased a personal computer, which she expects will serve her for the next two years. The owner has been told that she "must" buy a surge suppressor to provide protection for her new hardware against possible surges or variations in the electrical current, which have the capacity to damage the computer. The amount of damage to the computer depends on the strength of the surge. It has been estimated that there is a 1% chance of incurring 300 dollar damage, 4% chance of incurring 100 dollar damage, and 15% chance of incurring 150 dollar damage from a surge within the next two years. An inexpensive suppressor, which would provide protection for only one surge, can be purchased. How much should the owner be willing to pay if she makes decisions on the basis of expected value? Expected value =

The glycemic index (GI) is a rating system for foods containing carbohydrates. It shows how quickly each food affects your blood sugar (glucose) level when that food is eaten on its own. A random sample of 33 children were provided with a breakfast of low GI foods on one day and high GI foods on another. The two breakfasts contained the same quantities of carbohydrate, fat and protein. On each day a buffet lunch was provided, and the number of calories eaten at lunchtime were recorded. On the first day the children ate a low GI breakfast and on the second day a high GI breakfast. Let be the true mean of the differences in calorie intake for a high GI and a low GI breakfast, respectively. The researcher wants to conduct inference on to determine whether the kind of breakfast eaten has an effect on mean calorie intake. The differences are calculated as calorie intake after high-GI breakfast minus calorie intake after low-GI breakfast. The sample mean of the differences of 63.543…

An aircraft emergency locator transmitter (ELT) is a device designed to transmit a signal in the case of a crash. Company A makes 80% of the ELTs, Company B makes 15% of them and Company C makes the other 5%. The ELTs made by Company A have a 7.8% rate of defects, the Company B ELTs have a 6.3% rate of defects and the Company C ELTs have 6.4% rate of defects. If a randomly selected ELT is tested and found to be defective, find is the probability that it was made by Company A? Give your answer to three decimal places.
