Question:
The operations manager for a well-drilling company must recommend whether to build a new facility, expand his existing one, or do nothing. He estimates that long-run profits (in $000) will vary with the amount of precipitation (rainfall) as follows:
Alternative Precipitation
Low Normal High
Do nothing -100 100 300
Expand 350 500 200
Build new 750 300 0
If he feels the chances of low, normal, and high precipitation are 30 percent, 20 percent, and 50 percent respectively, What is EVPI (Expected value of Perfect Information)?
A. $140,000
B. $170,000
C. $285,000
D. $305,000
E. $475,000
Answer:
D. $170,000
Explanation:
The expected long run profits are for
Low Normal High
Do nothing -100*0.3 100*0.2 300*0.5 = 140
Expand 350*0.3 500*0.2 200*0.5 = 305
Build new 750*0.3 300*0.2 0*0.5 = 285
Therefore the expected long run profits are
$140,000
$305,000
$285,000
Based on his selected option being either to build new or to expand, the most profitable option is to expand
=$305,000
EVPI = EPPI-EMV =$170,000
Answer:
F = GMmx/[√(a² + x²)]³
Explanation:
The force dF on the mass element dm of the ring due to the sphere of mass, m at a distance L from the mass element is
dF = GmdM/L²
Since the ring is symmetrical, the vertical components of this force cancel out leaving the horizontal components to add.
So, the horizontal components add from two symmetrically opposite mass elements dM,
Thus, the horizontal component of the force is
dF' = dFcosФ where Ф is the angle between L and the x axis
dF' = GmdMcosФ/L²
L² = a² + x² where a = radius of ring and x = distance of axis of ring from sphere.
L = √(a² + x²)
cosФ = x/L
dF' = GmdMcosФ/L²
dF' = GmdMx/L³
dF' = GmdMx/[√(a² + x²)]³
Integrating both sides we have
∫dF' = ∫GmdMx/[√(a² + x²)]³
∫dF' = Gm∫dMx/[√(a² + x²)]³ ∫dM = M
F = GmMx/[√(a² + x²)]³
F = GMmx/[√(a² + x²)]³
So, the force due to the sphere of mass m is
F = GMmx/[√(a² + x²)]³
Answer:
Open
Explanation:
A switch is a part of a circuit where a connection can be made or broken. By convention, when the switch is "open", the connection is broken and current cannot pass. When the switch is "closed", the connection is complete and current can pass.
Answer:
0.0667 m
Explanation:
λ = wavelength of light = 400 nm = 400 x 10⁻⁹ m
D = screen distance = 2.5 m
d = slit width = 15 x 10⁻⁶ m
n = order = 1
θ = angle = ?
Using the equation
d Sinθ = n λ
(15 x 10⁻⁶) Sinθ = (1) (400 x 10⁻⁹)
Sinθ = 26.67 x 10⁻³
y = position of first minimum
Using the equation for small angles
tanθ = Sinθ = y/D
26.67 x 10⁻³ = y/2.5
y = 0.0667 m
