Tony B. is attempting to start a landscaping business. He estimates that to break even, he will need about 150 customers. He believes that he will lose approximately $500 per customer for each customer fewer than the 150. At the moment, he believes there is an 80% probability that he will be able to secure between 130 and 170 customers, and that there is a 50/50 chance that demand will be greater than 160 customers. What is the mean or expected number of sales? Need to know how to calculate?

Suppose that the tenth prize of a $1600 tournament will be $100 and each place should be worth approximately 10% more than the next place. Discuss the realistic distribution of prize values if they are rounded to the nearest penny, dollar, five dollars, and ten dollars.
Based on predictive modeling, this upcoming Winter is going to have very unpredictable weather. The National Weather service is considering abolishing specific long-term forecasts, and instead will utilize a statistical model that predicts a mean of six significant snowfalls per month. Use this information to answer the following question correctly: Trying to be forward-thinking, I'm going to try planning my one month long Winter Break based around this model's predictions. I will only travel for the holidays if there is at most one significant snowfall over winter break. What is the probability of this happening? O 0.0174 O 0.0149 O 0.0025 O 0.0542
The amount of pollutants that are found in waterways near large cities is normally distributed with mean 8.7 ppm and standard deviation 1.7 ppm. 18 randomly selected large cities are studied. Round all answers to 4 decimal places where possible. a. What is the distribution of X? X N( b. What is the distribution of T? I - N( c. What is the probability that one randomly selected city's waterway will have more than 8.9 ppm pollutants?
Statistical studies have repeatedly shown that about 85% of all bicyclists where helmets. Further studies reveal that about 80% of those wearing helmets do not have head injuries. We do not have any data as to whether those who wear helmets are more safety conscious and therefore have fewer accidents. We do know that about 20% of those who do not wear helmets also experience no head injuries. That’s all the data we have. Mr. X was in a bicycle accident and suffered a head injury. (we do not know anything else, so do not try to factor in all sorts of possible scenarios). Given the above information what is the probability that Mr. X was wearing a helmet? H = Mr. X was wearing a helmetE = head injury The prior, p(H) = .85 Why? What does that figure represent?What is p(~H)?What is p(E|H)?What is p(E|~H)? Using Bayes’s formula what is the p(H|E)?(display the formula), and..Explain which way the final probability (the posterior) was revised…up or down. Why?
Does it seem to you that people tend to be absent more on some days of the week than on others? Recently, a major biotechnology firm collected data with the hope of determining whether or not its employees were more likely to be absent on some weekdays than on others. The firm examined a random sample of 130 employee absences. The distribution of these 130 absences is shown in the table below. The observed frequency for each category (each weekday) is shown in the first row of numbers. The second row of numbers contains the frequencies expected for a sample of 130 employees if employee absences at the firm are equally likely on each of the five weekdays. The bottom row of numbers contains the following value for each of the categories.
Suppose you are producing an outdoor festival. You estimate that you will make $100000 if it does not rain and make $50000 if it does rain. The weather bureau predicts that the chance of rain is 35% for the day of the concert. What are your expected earnings for the festival?
A retail chain plans to sell bottles of a special holiday drink this season. The bottles are typically stocked one month in advance and sold before the holiday for full price. After the holiday, the leftover bottles would be marked down to get sold. For each bottle, the item cost is $3.85, the full selling price is $11.99, and the marked down price is $0.98. Historically, demand is normally distributed with a mean of 1.28 million bottles and a standard deviation of 0.04 million bottles. You would need to show equations, steps, and the final results with units for full credits. Answers are in millions using 5 decimals, e.g. 1.76384 million bottles. You should not round up the numbers! For simplicity, all taxes and other costs are not considered. All parts below are based on the optimal quantity decision found in part (a). (a) To maximize expected profit, how many bottles should the retailer carry this year? (b) What are the expected inventory and the corresponding expected sales? (c)…

Last year the average math SAT score for students at one school was 775. the Headmaster introduced new methods hoping to improve scores. this year , the math mean SAT score for a sample of students was 1178. If the teaching had no effect, there would be roughly a 3 in 100 chance of seeing such an increase. Does the result have STATISTICAL significance? does the result have PRACTICAL significance? exlain your answer
