P(2 defective)=
Two construction companies, Giant and Sky, bid for the right to build in a field. The possible bids are $ 10 Million, $ 20 Million, $ 30 Million, S 35 Million and S 40 Million. The winner is the company with the higher bid. The two companies decide that in the case of a tie (equal bids), Giant is the winner and will get the field. Giant has ordered a survey and, based on the report from the survey, 1 concludes that getting the field for more than $ 35 Million is as bad as not getting it (assume loss), except in case of a tie (assume win) Sky is not aware of this survey. (a) State reasons why/how this game can be described as a two-players zero-sum game [

Four types of gasoline additives (A,B,C,D) are available. Two perturbing factors in the experiment are the cars and the drivers. A Latin square was performed for this study as follows: four cars (1,23,4) and four drivers (1,2,3,4) were used to study the possible differences between the four additives (A,B,C,D). The response variable is a coded measurement of the reduction of nitrogen oxides.The results are shown in the following table: (IMAGE) a) Analyze the data from this experiment or to evaluate the effect of different types of gasoline additive. Develop from the ANOVA table and use an α = 0.05. b) Compare the four types of additives using fisher's α=0.05 test. c) The cost of the four additives A, B, C, and D are $1, $2, $3, and $0.50 respectively.
