Answer:

a. 45%

Explanation:

The sum of total probabilities  is always equal to 1. Since in the given question only three probabilities are given, so the sum of these three probabilities shall be 1 which is represented as follows by the equation:

probability of boom+probability of normal+probability of recession=1

In the given question:

probability of boom=30%

probability of recession=25%

30%+probability of normal+25%=1

Probability of normal=1-25%-30%=45%

So based on the above calculations, the answer shall be a. 45%

KiRa [710]

Explanation:

A manufacturer of computer memory chips produces chips in lots of 1000. If nothing has gone wrong in the manufacturing process, at most 7 chips each lot would be defective, but if something does go wrong, there could be far more defective chips. If something goes wrong with a given lot, they discard the entire lot. It would be prohibitively expensive to test every chip in every lot, so they want to make the decision of whether or not to discard a given lot on the basis of the number of defective chips in a simple random sample. They decide they can afford to test 100 chips from each lot. You are hired as their statistician.

There is a tradeoff between the cost of eroneously discarding a good lot, and the cost of warranty claims if a bad lot is sold. The next few problems refer to this scenario.

Problem 8. (Continues previous problem.) A type I error occurs if (Q12)

Problem 9. (Continues previous problem.) A type II error occurs if (Q13)

Problem 10. (Continues previous problem.) Under the null hypothesis, the number of defective chips in a simple random sample of size 100 has a (Q14) distribution, with parameters (Q15)

Problem 11. (Continues previous problem.) To have a chance of at most 2% of discarding a lot given that the lot is good, the test should reject if the number of defectives in the sample of size 100 is greater than or equal to (Q16)

Problem 12. (Continues previous problem.) In that case, the chance of rejecting the lot if it really has 50 defective chips is (Q17)

Problem 13. (Continues previous problem.) In the long run, the fraction of lots with 7 defectives that will get discarded erroneously by this test is (Q18)

Problem 14. (Continues previous problem.) The smallest number of defectives in the lot for which this test has at least a 98% chance of correctly detecting that the lot was bad is (Q19)

(Continues previous problem.) Suppose that whether or not a lot is good is random, that the long-run fraction of lots that are good is 95%, and that whether each lot is good is independent of whether any other lot or lots are good. Assume that the sample drawn from a lot is independent of whether the lot is good or bad. To simplify the problem even more, assume that good lots contain exactly 7 defective chips, and that bad lots contain exactly 50 defective chips.

Problem 15. (Continues previous problem.) The number of lots the manufacturer has to produce to get one good lot that is not rejected by the test has a (Q20) distribution, with parameters (Q21)

Problem 16. (Continues previous problem.) The expected number of lots the manufacturer must make to get one good lot that is not rejected by the test is (Q22)

Problem 17. (Continues previous problem.) With this test and this mix of good and bad lots, among the lots that pass the test, the long-run fraction of lots that are actually bad is (Q23)

Your boss is considering a 5-year investment project. If the project is accepted, it would require an immediate spending of $678
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

$50.47

Explanation:

Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.  

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator  

Cash flow in year 0 = - ($678 +  $58 ) = -736

Cash flow in year 1 - 4 = $173

Cash flow in year 5 = $173 + $144

I = 8.1

NPV = 50.47

To find the NPV using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.  

3. Press compute

For the person to whom this utility function applies, a. her level of satisfaction will be enhanced equally by an increase in we
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

b. the more wealth she has, the less utility she gets from an additional dollar of wealth.

Explanation:

Utility is the satisfaction derived from a good. Total Utility is the total satisfaction from all units of a good. Marginal Utility is the additional satisfaction from an additional unit of a good.

The Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility states that : As consumer gets more & more of a good, the additional utility (satisfaction) from each successive unit keeps on declining. It implies that marginal utility decreases, & total utility increases at a decreasing rate.

Therefore : A person has more marginal utility (additional satisfaction) from an additional dollar, if he has less money (dollars). And, relatively less marginal utility from an additional dollar if he has more money (dollars).

Example : A rich person having millions of dollars would get less marginal utility (additional satisfaction) from gaining a single dollar, than a poor person having few dollars.

The capital-to-labor ratio is:Question 40 options:a) a key element in decreasing real wages.b) high in rich countries.c) the rat
andrezito [222]

Answer:

b) high in rich countries.

Explanation:

Capital-to- labour ratio measure the degree of capitalisation of an economy.

Labour is the service that is given by workers in exchange for salaries in the production process.

Capital is the long term input that is put into the manufacturing process, usually in the form of machinery or systems that automate production.

Capital-to-labour ratio= Total capital/ Total labour

Rich countries have a high level of capitalisation of their production process, where a lot of activity is automated. So capital is high and labour input is low. This results in a high capital-to-labour ratio.

On the other hand poor countries are more labour inensive, so their capital-to-labour ratio is low.
