Question
In the Brunei, letters can be posted by two services, called ‘first class’ and ‘second class’. First class post is intended to be faster. A letter posted first class on a Monday has the following probabilities of arriving on Tuesday to Friday of the same week.
A |
Wednesday |
Thursday |
Friday |
0.6 |
0.2 |
0.1 |
0.1 |
You should assume that the arrival days of letters are independent of one another.
- I post three letters first class on Monday. Find the
probability that - They all arrive on Tuesday,
- None of them arrive on Tuesday,
One arrives on Wednesday, one on Thursday and one on Friday.

He finds that Retailer A is offering a special cash rebate, which depends on how much snow falls during the first winter. If this snowfall is less than 50% of the mean annual snowfall for his city, his rebate will bet 50% of the list price. If the snowfall that winter is more than 50% but less than 75% of the mean annual snowfall, his rebate will be 25% of the list price. If the snowfall is more than 75% of the mean annual snowfall, he will receive no rebate. The engineer finds from a reference book that the annual snowfall for his city has a mean of 80 cm and standard deviation of 20 cm and approximates a normal distribution. The list price for the brand and size of tires he wants is $80.00 per tire. The engineer checks other retailers and finds that Retailer B sells the same brand and size of tires with the same warranty for the same list price but offers a discount of 5% of the list price regardless of snowfall that…arrow_forwardSuppose an oil company is thinking of buying some land for $10,000,000.

During any day, each loader that is operating at the beginning of the day has a 0.25 chance of breaking down. If a loader breaks down during the day, it is sent to a repair station and will be working (operational) two days after it breaks down. (Thus, if a loader breaks down during day 3, it will be working at the beginning of day 5. Let the state of the system be the number of operational loaders at the beginning of the day. How many states does the system have?arrow_forward
