A particular employee arrives at work sometime between 8:00 a.m. and 8:50 a.m. Based on past experience the company has determined that the employee is equally
likely to arrive at any time between 8:00 a.m. and 8:50 a.m. Find the probability that the employee will arrive between 8:25 a.m. and 8:35 a.m. Round your answer to four
decimal places, if necessary.

- Eric has a job at an electronics store in a mall. Eric doesn't like to work hard, and it costs him $100 to do so. Eric's employer cannot observe whether Eric works hard or not. If Eric works hard, there is a 75% probability that electronics goods profits will equal $400 a day and a 25% probability that electronics goods profits will equal $100 a day. If Eric shirks, there is a 75% probability that electronics goods profits will equal S100 a day and a 25% probability that electronics goods profits will equal $400 a day.

- The owner of a firm must hire a manager to launch a new product. The new product can be successful and generate a revenue of 5000 or fail and generate a revenue of 1000. The probability of succ success is 0.7 (and hence the probability of failure is 0.3). If the manager exerts low effort (e=e,) then the probability of success is 0.2 (and hence the probability of failure is 0.8).

You are trying to decide whether or not to make a tee time tomorrow to play golf. This requires a commitment on your part of turning down, say, movie tickets in favor of playing golf. If you accept the tickets, you also make the commitment not to go golfing. There is a weather forecast that signals whether it will rain tomorrow or not. There is a 0.80 probability that it rains when there is a "rainy" forecast and a 0.125 probability of rain when there is a "sunny" forecast. The overall probability of getting a "rainy" forecast is 0.111. Assume you are risk neutral. You place the following monetary values on the potential outcomes: a sunny day at the golf course a rainy day at the movies a rainy day at home $95 $20 -$18 a sunny day at $1 the movies a.

- In a tight real estate market, the probability that a buyer's offer will be accepted is 0.50 if she bids more than 15 thousand above the asking price. The probability of acceptance drops to 0.20 if she bids below this amount. Overall, sixty percent of offers are more than 15 thousand above the asking price. The probability that a randomly selected offer will be accepted by the seller is closest or equal to: 0.15 0.38 0.20 0.32 O 0.18arrow_forwardIt is Lady Bridgerton's first ball of the season and she must select 4 dance partners for the upcoming dances.

Some students get a Bachelor of Arts and Science degree, which requires meeting graduation criteria for both degrees. A student advisor needs to know the probability a newly admitted student is interested in such a program, so that the student can be properly advised. A study of previous years finds that the probability a student gets a Bachelor of Science degree is P(Science) = 0.3 and the probability a student gets a Bachelor of Arts degree is P(Arts) = 0.6. The study also shows that the probability a student gets no degree is P(no) = 0.2. Some probability calculations show the probability of getting a Bachelor of Arts and Science degree to be P(Arts & Science) = 0.1. Getting a Bachelor of Arts degree and getting a Bachelor of Science degree are not independent because: P(Arts & Science) = P(Arts) P(Arts & Science) = P(Arts) P(Science) P(Arts & Science) = P(Arts |…arrow_forward
