Question is Incomplete, Complete question is given below.

Suppose you are offered a job that lasts one month. Which of the following methods of payment is more profitable for you?

I. One million dollars at the end of the month.

II. One cent on the first day of the month, two cents on the second day, four cents on the  third day, and, in general,  cents on the nth day.

Answer:

Option II is more profitable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:

By Option I:

Amount we will get every month = $1,000,000

Now By Option II.

Given:

Amount we will get every month = 2^{n-1}

Now we will consider the month which has least number of days in a month which is February which has 28 days.

So we can say that.

Amount we will get every month = 2^{27-1}=2^{26}= 1, 34,217,728\ cents = \$1,342,177.28

$1,342,177.28 > $1,000,000

Hence Option II is more profitable.

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>1. A. You allow the passenger to board his flight when the passenger has a weapon.</u>

<u>2. B. You select the passenger for further inspection when the passenger has no weapon.</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

1. Remember, a Type I error in simple words means that the assumption "the passenger has a weapon" (null hypothesis) is <em>actually true,</em> but the airport security screener <em>incorrectly concluded it is false. </em>In other words, he assumed the passenger had no weapon and allowed the passenger to board his flight <u>when he actually did have one.</u>
