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.

I’m thinking of two numbers one of them is 11 more then the other and their sum is 131 what are the numbers
solong [7]

Answer:

60 and 71

Step-by-step explanation:

Take 131

subtract the 11 from the question to get 120

Then split 120 into two parts - 60.

Add the 11 to one part

That's it! ^^

There are 63 female performers in a dance recital. the ratio of men to women is 5:9. how many men are in the dance recital?
valentinak56 [21]
In d ratio 5:9 which equals 5+9=14
the total female performers is 63
For men = 5/14*63=5/2*9
=45/2 =22.5
The men would be about 22.5 in the dance recital
