If the first employee, Molly, worked completely alone, she could finish the data analysis component of the project with 30 hours of work and could write the report with an additional 10 hours of work. If Jim worked alone, he would take 48 hours of work to conduct the data analysis and then 12 hours to write the report. Assume that both employees need to contribute to the project, that there would be no benefits to having two people work on the same part of the project (data analysis and writing), and that working on the two parts are independent (i.e. there is no benefit to working on both parts).

- A citrus grower anticipates a profit of $100,000 this year if the nightly temperatures remain mild. Unfortunately, the weather forecast indicates a 25% chance that the temperatures will drop below freezing during the next week. Such freezing weather will destroy 40% of the crop and reduce the profit to $60,000. However, the grower can protect the citrus fruit against the possible freezing (using smudge pots, electric fans, and so on) at a cost of $5000. Should the grower spend the $5000 and thereby reducethe profit to $95,000? [Hint: Compute E(X ), where X is theprofit the grower will get if he does nothing to protect the fruit.]arrow_forwardFor his classes, Professor Wright gives three types of quizzes, objective, recall, and recall-plus. To keep his students on their toes, he has decided to give at least 20 quizzes next quarter. The three types, objective, recall, and recall-plus quizzes, require the students to spend, respectively, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, and 60 minutes for preparation, and Professor Wright would like them to spend at least 12 hours(720 minutes) preparing for these quizzes above and beyond the normal study time. An average score on an objective quiz is 5, on a recall type 6, and on a recall-plus 7, and Dr. Wright would like the students to score at least 130 points on all quizzes. It takes the professor one minute to grade an objective quiz, 2 minutes to grade a recall type quiz, and 3 minutes to grade a recall-plus quiz. How many of each type should he give in order to minimize his grading time?arrow_forward.arrow_forward
