Each quarter the marketing manager of a retail store divides customers into two classes based on their purchase behavior in the previous quarter. Denote the classes as L for low and H for high. The manager wishes to determine to which classes of customers he should send quarterly catalogs. The cost of sending a catalog is $15 per customer and the expected purchase depends on the customer’s class and the manager’s action. If a customer is in class L and receives a catalog, then the expected purchase in the current quarter is $20, and if a class L customer does not receive a catalog his expected purchase is $10. If a customer is in class H and receives a catalog, then his expected purchase is $50, and if a class H customer does not receive a catalog his expected purchase is $25. The decision whether or not to send a catalog to a customer also affects the customer's classification in the subsequent quarter. If a customer is class L at the start of the present quarter, then the probability he is in class L at the subsequent quarter is 0.3 if he receives a catalog and 0.5 if he does not. If a customer is class H in the current period, then the probability that he remains in class H in the subsequent period is 0.8 if he receives a catalog and 0.4 if he does not. Assume a discount rate of 0.9 and an objective of maximizing expected total discounted reward.
a) Formulate this as an infinite-horizon discounted Markov decision problem.
b) For ???? = 0.1, find a near-optimal policy using value iteration.
c) Find an optimal policy using policy iteration starting with the stationary policy which has greatest one-step reward.
d) Formulate the problem as a linear program, giving its primal and dual. Solve both and interpret the solutions.

At the end of each day of a bowling competition, half of the bowlers are eliminated until a winner is determined. There are 320 bowlers on day 1 of the competition. Which equation represents the number of bowlers, y, on the day x of the competition

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose two rectangles have the same area. Must they have the same length and width? Explain.​

Answers

Answer:

no

Step-by-step explanation:

Two rectangles having the same area do not need to have the same length and width. The length and width of the rectangle are just factor pairs of the number that is the area. For example, if the area was 12, the side lengths would be 1 and 12, 2 and 6, or 3 and 4. As you can see, those aren't the same lengths and widths. A rectangle may be 1x12 and another may be 3x4, but they have the same area.

Remember that sine is y while cosine is x.

Since sine is y, It'd be a horizontal line. And since it's a horizontal line, it intersects two points in a unit circle.

a) How many small bags would the leftover popcorn fill?


b) How many large bags would the leftover popcorn fill?


Please help me fast, also show all work and steps please:)

Answers

Answer:

A]  37 / 3 = 12 1/3 ; B] 37 / 12 = 3 1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let small popcorn bag hold = p units popcorn. So, large popcorn bag hold 4 times ie 4p units popcorn.

Left popcorn = 3 1/3 ie 10 / 3 small bags , & 2 1/4 ie 9 / 4 large bags.  

So, total popcorn left = Sum( No. of popcorn in each bag x no of bags) =        [ 10 p / 3 ] +  [ (9 x 4) p / 4 ] = 10p / 3 + 9p  = (10p + 27p) / 3 = 37p / 3

A] Small bags for left popcorn = Total left popcorn / Per small bag popcorn  = ( 37p / 3 ) / (p)  = 37 / 3 = 12 1/3

B] Large bags for left popcorn = Total left popcorn / Per large bag popcorn   =  ( 37p / 3 ) / (4p) = 37 / 12 = 3 1/12

A cup on the teacher's desk contains 12 pens. There are 3 pens with blue ink and 9 pens with black ink. One student at a time selects a pen at random to sign the attendance sheet and then puts the pen back in the cup.

What is probability?

Probability can be defined as the ratio of favorable outcomes to the total number of events.

Here,
Total number of sample = 12
Favorable outcome = 3
Required probability  that the first three students all randomly select a pen with blue ink = 3 / 12 × 3 / 12 × 3 / 12

Find the volume of a sphere with a diameter of 6.2 in.

Answers

Answer: its 23 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a sphere with a diameter of 6.2 in is 39.72π

What is the volume of the sphere?

The volume of a sphere is defined as the total amount of capacity applied in a sphere that can be calculated using the volume formula for the sphere which is V = (4/3)πr3.

The radius of the sphere is;

[tex]\rm Radius =\dfrac{Diameter}{2}\\\\Radius=\dfrac{6.2}{2}\\\\Radius=3.1[/tex]

The volume of the sphere is;

[tex]\rm Volume =\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3\\\\Volume =\dfrac{4}{3}\pi (3.1)^3\\\\Volume = 39.72\pi[/tex]

Hence, the volume of a sphere with a diameter of 6.2 in is 39.72π.

The probability that Chloe chooses the yellow pencil and then a blue pencil is


No links please :)

Answers

Answer:

A) P(chooses a blue pencil and then a red pencil) = 5/27

B) P(chooses yellow then blue) = 5/81

Step-by-step explanation:

She has 3 red pencils, 5 blue pencils, and 1 yellow pencil in her backpack

Thus;

total number of pencils = 3 + 5 + 1 = 9 pencils

A) probability that she chooses a blue pencil and then a red pencil;

P(blue) = 5/9

Now she puts it bag after choosing which means the sum is back to 8 pencils.

Thus, if she now chooses a red pencil, then P(red) = 3/9 = 1/3

Thus;

P(chooses a blue pencil and then a red pencil) = 5/9 × 1/3

P(chooses a blue pencil and then a red pencil) = 5/27

B) probability that Chloe chooses the yellow pencil and then a blue pencil;

Similar to A above;

P(yellow) = 1/9

P(blue) = 5/9

P(chooses yellow then blue) = 1/9 × 5/9

P(chooses yellow then blue) = 5/81

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

x + y = 2 → (1)

2x + y = 4 → (2)

Subtract (1) from (2) term by term to eliminate y

2x - x + y - y = 4 - 2 , that is

x + 0 = 2

x = 2

Substitute x = 2 into either of the 2 equations and evaluate for y

Substituting into (1)

2 + y = 2 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

y = 0

a population has a standard deviation of 20.2. what is the standard error of the sampling distribution if the sample size is 121? round your answer to two decimal places.
A) 1.84
B) 1.44
C) 1.55
D) 1.68

Answers

Answer:

A) 1.84

Step-by-step explanation:

I just took the quiz

The standard error of the sampling size is 121 is 1.84

What is standard error?

"a measure of the statistical accuracy of an estimate, equal to the standard deviation of the theoretical distribution of a large population of such estimates."

"In the standard error formula, the factor sqrt[ (N - n ) / (N - 1) ] is called the finite population correction or fpc. When the population size is very large relative to the sample size, the fpc is approximately equal to one; and the standard error formula can be approximated by:

σx = σ / sqrt(n)."

Given,

Standard deviation of the sample is 20.2

and sample size is = 121

Standard error is = [tex]\sigma/\sqrt(n)[/tex]

i.e. standard error = [tex]20.2/\sqrt(121)[/tex] = 20.2/ 11 = 1.84

Hence, option A is true.
