If a salesperson has gross sales of over $600,000 in a year, then he or she is eligible to play the company's bonus game: A black box contains 3 one-dollar bills, 1 five-dollar bill and 1 twenty-dollar bill. Bills are drawn out of the box one at a time without replacement until a
twenty-dollar bill is drawn. Then the game stops. The salesperson's bonus is 1,000 times the value of the bills drawn. Complete parts (A) through (C) below.
(A) What is the probability of winning a $23,000 bonus?
(Type a decimal or a fraction. Simplify your answer.)
C
There are two players who simultaneously call out one of the numbers oneor two. Player I’s name is James; he wins if the sum of the numbers is odd. Player II’s name is Louis; she wins if the sum of the numbers is even. The amount paid to the winner by the loser is always the sum of the numbers in pesos. Find the table for the payoff function P, and analyze the game to find the value and optimal strategies of the players. Is the game fair?

- An insurance agency services many customers who have purchased both a homeowner’s policy and a car policy from the agency. For each type of policy, a deductible amount must be specified. For a car policy, the choices are $0, $50, and $100, and 25%, 25%, and 50% of customers have these deductibles respectively. It means P(X=$0) = 0.25, etc. For a homeowner’s policy, the choices are 0, $200, and $500 and 30%, 30%, and 40% of customers have these deductibles respectively. It means P(Y=$0) = 0.3, etc. Suppose an individual with both types of policy is selected at random from the agency’s files. Let X = the deductible amount on the car policy and Y = the deductible amount on the homeowner’s policy. Assume X and Y are independent. a. Find the joint probability mass function of X and Y (write it as a table). b. Find median car insurance policy deductible. c.

The proportion of customers captured by each vendor depends on the merchandise sold by that vendor and by her competitor. A customer gained by one is lost to the other.

To make up for this, if Doug wins a game he will spot Bob five points in their next game. If Doug wins again he will spot Bob ten points the next game, and if he still wins the next game he will spot him fifteen points, and continue to spot him fifteen points as long as he keeps winning. Whenever Bob wins a game he goes back to playing the next game with no advantage. It turns out that with a five-point advantage Bob wins 40% of the time; he wins 40% of the time with a ten-point advantage and 50% of the time with a fifteen-point advantage. Model this situation as a Markov chain using the number of consecutive games won by Doug as the states. There should be four states representing zero, one, two, and three or more consecutive games won by Doug. Find the transition matrix of this system, the steady-state vector for the system, and determine the proportion of games that Doug will win in…arrow_forwardBob and Doug play a lot of Ping-Pong, but Doug is a much better player, and wins 90% of their games.
