Suppose we are interested in bidding on a piece of land and we know one other bidder is interested. The seller announced that th

e highest bid in excess of $10,400 will be accepted. Assume that the competitor's bid x is a random variable that is uniformly distributed between $10,400 and $15,400.
Required:
a. Suppose you bid $12,000. What is the probability that your bid will be accepted (to 2 decimals)?
b. Suppose you bid $14,000. What is the probability that your bid will be accepted (to 2 decimals)?
c. What amount should you bid to maximize the probability that you get the property (in dollars)?

Answer:

a) 0.32 = 32% probability that your bid will be accepted

b) 0.72 = 72% probability that your bid will be accepted

c) An amount in excess of $15,400.

Step-by-step explanation:

An uniform probability is a case of probability in which each outcome is equally as likely.

For this situation, we have a lower limit of the distribution that we call a and an upper limit that we call b.

The probability that we find a value X lower than x is given by the following formula.

P(X \leq x) = \frac{x - a}{b-a}

Assume that the competitor's bid x is a random variable that is uniformly distributed between $10,400 and $15,400.

This means that a = 10400, b = 15400

a. Suppose you bid $12,000. What is the probability that your bid will be accepted (to 2 decimals)?

You will win if the competitor bids less than 12000. So

P(X \leq 12000) = \frac{12000 - 10400}{15400 - 10400} = 0.32

0.32 = 32% probability that your bid will be accepted

b. Suppose you bid $14,000. What is the probability that your bid will be accepted?

You will win if the competitor bids less than 14000. So

P(X \leq 14000) = \frac{14000 - 10400}{15400 - 10400} = 0.72

0.72 = 72% probability that your bid will be accepted

c. What amount should you bid to maximize the probability that you get the property (in dollars)?

His bid is uniformly distributed between $10,400 and $15,400.

So, to maximize the probability that you get the property, you should bid an amount in excess of $15,400.

Shona is buying a rug for her room. Store A has the rug for $45 with a 10% discount. Store B has the same rug for $46 and is off
Rudik [331]
Store A :
0.90(45) = 40.50......40.50 + .06(40.50) = 40.50 + 2.43 = 42.93

store B :
46 - 10 = 36......36 * .06(36) = 36 + 2.16 = 38.16

she would have to purchase the rug from store B...because she doesn't have enough money to purchase it from store A. She would have (40 - 38.16) = $ 1.84 in change.

I find this question to be a little misleading....because on a rebate, u dont get the discount right away....u first pay full price, and then later u get the discount mailed back to you. So actually, she wouldn't have enough money at either store.

Inga [223]

Answer:

90

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of squares of the deviation from mean=sum(x-xbar)²=?

x

12

6

15

9

18

12

xbar=sumx/n

xbar=(12+6+15+9+18+12)/6=72/6=12

x      x-xbar       (x-xbar)²

12      12-12=0     0

6       6-12=-6     36

15      15-12=3      9

9       9-12=-3       9

18      18-12=6      36

12      12-12=0      0

sum(x-xbar)²=0+36+9+9+36+0=90

So, the sum of squares of the deviations from the mean is 90.

Which is a correct two-column proof? Given: <H and <X are supplementary. prove: l || n
andriy [413]

Answer:

option-B

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given

<H and <X are supplementary angles

so,

<H+<X=180

we know that

<H and <E are vertically opposite angles

so, they must be equal

<H=<E

we can plug it

<E+<X=180

It means that angle(E) and angle(X) are supplementary angles

and these two angles are same side interior angles

By using same side interior angles converse

so, line(l) and line(n) must be parallel

so, option-B
