Answer:

Explanation:

f(x) = (1/(15,000-10,000))/0 (elsewhere) = 1/5000

a. What is the probability that a $12,000 bid will be accepted?

P(10,000 < x < 12,000) = 2000(1/5000) = 0.40

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

P(10,000 < x < 14,000) = 4000(1/5000) = 0.80

c. What amount should you bid to maximize the probability that you get the property?

$14,000 is my answer.

$14000 bid has a higher probability, hence a greater chance of being accepted

Research any three successful entrepreneurs of your choice.
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

1. Andrew Carnegie

You probably recognize Andrew Carnegie’s name, since he’s one of the most famous and richest industrialists of all time. However, he didn’t accumulate his wealth as a result of formal education or a business-charged background. Instead, he dropped out of school at a young age and spent the major portion of his youth performing manual labor. He was a bobbin boy at a local cotton mill and then became a telegraph messenger. It wasn’t until he taught himself how to read and entered the railroad industry that he began to build the empire that would make him (and his family) a fortune.

2. John Paul DeJoria

You may not have heard of John Paul DeJoria, but you’ve certainly indulged in some of the beauty products attached to his name. Now a multi-billionaire and one of the most accomplished entrepreneurs in modern history, DeJoria got his start as a newspaper courier. To make ends meet, he worked as a tow truck driver and a janitor. Eventually, he found his way to working at a hair-care company, where he met his future partner, Paul Mitchell. With minimal experience and a $700 loan, the duo founded a company now known as John Paul Mitchell Systems. From there, DeJoria co-founded Patron Spirits and the House of Blues.

3. Harland Sanders

If someone asked you for a loan to start a restaurant, but had no formal culinary training or experience, would you make that loan? It seems crazy to think anyone could become a successful restauranteur without a background in the industry, but that’s exactly what Harlan “Colonel” Sanders was able to do. When he started his line of Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants, the only experience he had was cooking for his siblings as a child and working at a number of odd jobs.
