Consider a candy with 5 flavors; assume that you have a bag of this candy with many pieces of each. Imagine that you are on a strict diet that only allows you to eat 3 pieces of candy, and that to maximize your enjoyment of your treat, you will be eating this candy one piece at a time.
First, how many possible outcomes are there for the first step (the first piece of candy eaten)?
Your Answer:
Consider an assembly line with 20 stations. Each station has a 0.5% probability of making a defect. At the end of the line, an inspection step singles out the defective units. The inspection step catches 80% of all defects. From inspection, units that are deemed to be non-defective are moved to the shipping department.
If a defect is found at inspection, it is sent to the rework department. Rework fixes about 95% of the defective units. Units are directly shipped from the rework department with no further inspection taking place.
What is the probability that a defective unit is shipped (in decimal form)?

Suppose that you are the manager of JCPenney store. Your goal is to increase and control the rate at which store cashiers can successfully sign customers up for JCPenney credit cards. To this end, for each of the eight store cashiers, you observed 50 interactions where the cashier made an attempt to sign a customer up for credit card. The data showed that there was a total of 16 cases in which the cashiers could successfully sign the customer up for a credit card. Now, if you do not want the lower limit to be below .0052, what z-value would this imply? How confident can you be that the actual lower limit is greater than or equal to .0052?

- You now have 5000. You will toss a fair coin four times. Before each toss you can bet any amount of your money (including none) on the outcome of the toss. If heads comes up, you win the amount you bet. If tails comes up, you lose the amount you bet. Your goal is to reach 15,000. It turns out that you can maximize your chance of reaching 15,000 by betting either the money you have on hand or 15,000 minus the money you have on hand, whichever is smaller. Use simulation to estimate the probability that you will reach your goal with this betting strategy.arrow_forwardWhen it first debuted, Telsa was selling its Model 3 sedan for $35,000.

- Problem Solving. The JSM company has been approached by an individual who has an idea for a new product. He wants to sell this idea for P32, 000. If the idea is purchased, the product must be developed. The company can develop the product at a cost of P64,000, and there is a 50% chance that they can develop the product. TMJ INDUSTRY has offered to develop the product. It will also cost P65,000, but they are only 40% certain that they can develop the product. No charge will be levied unless the job is successful. If the product is developed, it must be advertised. There are two plans for the advertisement.
