A chef must decide how many chocolate lava cakes to prepare for the upcoming Mother's Day Dinner special. The chef can either prepare 50, 100, or 150 lava cakes. Assume that demand for the lava cakes can be 50, 100, or 150. Each dish costs $5 to make and is priced at for $7 on the menu. Unsold cakes are donated to a nearby charity center. Assume that there is no opportunity cost for lost sales. The cafe owner told the chef that in the past years, the probability that clients will order 50 cakes is 0.30; the probability they will order 100 cakes is 0.50, and the probability that they will order 150 cakes is 0.20. What is the best alternative using the EMV criterion?

The County Theater is an independent entertainment theater that is in the middle of a new renovation to expand their current layout of two screens. With their current renovation plan, they hope to increase their screens to three. As of now, they are still in need of $14,000 to finish the construction project. Through market research completed on their members as well as the greater community, they estimated that each donator would give around $50. As the donations have been coming in over the course of the last 18 months, they believe that the research estimate may have been too high. They created a sample of members consisting of 40 individuals. On average, they are willing to give $40 and the standard deviation for the sample is $1.35. With an alpha of .05, construct an appropriate hypothesis test. If you find that the null hypothesis is not true, what real world circumstance may have affected the research estimate?
Kabaddi is a popular sport in South Asia. The basic rules of Kabaddi are simple: two teams of seven players each face off in a large square arena for two halves of twenty minutes each. Players from each team take turns running across the center line to the other team's half of the court ( called "raiding"), tagging members of the other team (4 people defending), and running back. The more opposing team members they tag, the more points they score (+1 point for each player he tags), but if the opposing team can physically prevent them from crossing back to their side of the court, they score no points. During the sports week, a kabaddi match is going to be scheduled between the students of Section A and C. Section A has 42 students while Section C has 35 students
A group of 110 people, who lived at varying distances (in kilometers) from the 3 kilometer island nuclear power station, were asked if they thought a full evacuation of the area was required, when it went critical. The researches wanted to know if the opinion to evacuate or not depended on how far from the reactor people lived. The people were divided into 5 categories, based on the distance to the power station. Each person was given 3 choices: evacuation was needed, evacuation was not needed, they did not care about it. Evacuation needed x x x x -.. .-. --. Evacuation not needed X x x X X Do not care X x x X ... You are doing a Chi Square test for independence. Compute the degrees of freedom for this test.
A famine relief effort is being mounted and there are three types of food bundles that can be flown out during each delivery. Bundle 1 has 4 kg. of flour, 4 kg. of sugar and 12 litres of water. Bundle 2 has 12 kg. of flour, 4 kg. of sugar and 4 litres of water and Bundle 3 has 8 kg. of flour, 8 kg. of sugar and 8 litres of water. The relief agency has 5200 kg. of flour, 3792 kg. of sugar and 6000 litres of water for each shipment. Bundle 1 can provide for 10 people between deliveries, Bundle 2 for 8 people and Bundle 3 for 11 people. How many bundles of each type should the relief agency send on each flight in order to maximize the number of people being fed. Do this problem by setting up a linear programming problem and determining the vertices of the feasibility set. Enter the number of bundles of types 1, 2, and 3 (in that order) into the answer box below, separated with commas.
