Ok so this all about subtracting fractions this is what you want to do:

you can change 8 3/4 and 4 2/3 to have the same value and deominator
8 3/4 = 8 9/12(multiply both sides by 3)
4 2/3 = 4 8/12(multiply both sides by 4)
you do this because 12 is divisible by 3 and 4

then, subtract 4 8/12 from 8 9/12 because John is using some of the wood his dad gave him.
then subtract once again, taking 11/2 away from your difference.
again match the deominator of 11/2 to the deominator of your difference which should be 12. another divisible of 12 is 2 and 6.
11/2 = 66/12 = 5 6/12(multiply both the top and bottom by 6)
and start subtracting.

so John should have -1 5/12(?) wood left

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data:

Medium-Scale Large-Scale

Expansion Profit Expansion Profit

x f(x) y f(y)

Low 50 0.2 0 0.2

Demand Medium 150 0.5 100 0.5

High 200 0.3 300 0.3

a. Compute the expected value for the profit associated with the two expansion alternatives.

Which decision is preferred for the objective of maximizing the expected profit?

Expected value for medium scale expansion profit :

Expected value (E) = Σ(X) * f(x)

Σ[(50 * 0.2) + (150 * 0.5) + (200 * 0.3)]

= 145

Expected value for Large scale expansion profit :

Expected value (E) = Σ(X) * f(x)

Σ[(0 * 0.2) + (100 * 0.5) + (300 * 0.3)]

= 140

Medium scale expansion profit is preferred as it has the highest expected value.

b. Compute the variance for the profit associated with the two expansion alternatives.

Which decision is preferred for the objective of minimizing the risk or uncertainty?

Variance (V) = Σ(X - E)² * f(x):

Variance for medium scale expansion profit :

V = [((50-145)^2 * 0.2) + ((150-145)^2 * 0.5) + ((200-145)^2 * 0.3) = 2725

Variance for Large scale expansion profit :

V = [((0-140)^2 * 0.2) + ((100-140)^2 * 0.5) + ((300-140)^2 * 0.3) = 12400

Smaller variance is required to minimize risk, Hence, choose the medium scale expansion profit.
