WVTU is a television station that has 20 thirty-second advertising slots during their regularly scheduled programming each evening. The station is now selling advertising for the first few days in November. They could sell all the slots immediately for $4,500 each, but because November 7 will be an election day, the station manager knows she may be able to sell slots at the last minute to political candidates in tight races for a price of $8,000 each. The demand for these last minute slots is estimated as follows:

8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19
Probability 0.03 0.05 0.1 0.15 0.2 0.15 0.1 0.05 0.05 0.05 0.05 0.02

Slots not sold in advance and not sold to political candidates at the last minute can be sold to local advertisers at a price of $2,000.

a. If the station manager sells all the advertising slots in advance, how much revenue will the station receive?
b. How many advertising slots should be sold in advance if the station manager wants to maximize expected revenue?
c. If the station manager sells in advance the number of slots identified in the previous question, what is the probability that the total revenue received will exceed the amount identified in part a where all slots are sold in advance?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a. $90,000

b. 15 advertisement slots

c. 0.53

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the purchase price of the slots, c = 4,500

The salvage value of the slots, s = 2,000

The selling price of the slots, p = 8,000

a. If the store manager sells all the advertising slots in advance, the revenue received, 'R', is given as follows;

R = The number of slots, n × The purchase price for selling immediately, c

∴ R = 20 × $4,500 = $90,000

The revenue the station will receive by selling all the advertising slots in advance, R = $90,000

b. The Cost of Overage, [tex]C_o[/tex] = Purchase price - Salvage value

∴ The Cost of Overage, [tex]C_o[/tex] = 4,500 - 2,000 = 2,500

The Cost of Underage, [tex]C_u[/tex] = Selling price - Purchase price

∴ The Cost of Underage, [tex]C_u[/tex] = 8,000 - 4,500 = 3,500

P; 0.03, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.15, 0.1, 0.05, 0.05, 0.05, 0.05, 0.02

With help of MS Excel, we get the following cumulative frequency

F(Q); 0.03, 0.08, 0.18, 0.33, 0.53, 0.68, 0.78, 0.83, 0.88, 0.93, 0.98, 1

The expected monetary value for the decision to sell the 8th slot at the last minute is given by the following relation;

[tex]C_u[/tex] × [1 - F(Q)] - [tex]C_o[/tex] × F(Q)

Where F(Q) = The cumulative frequency for the 8th stock

Therefore, we have;

3,500 × (1 - 0.03) - 2,500 × 0.03 = 3,300

For the 8th slot, the TV station is expected to make an extra $3,300

Using MS Excel, we get;

For the 9th slot, the profit over the purchase price = $3,020

Fot the 10th slot, the profit over the purchase price = $2,420

The profit over the purchase price for the 11th slot = $1,520

The profit over the purchase price for the 12th slot = $320

The profit over the purchase price for the 13th slot = $(-580)

The 14th = $(-1,180)

15th = $(-1,480)

16th = $(-1,780)

17th = $(-2,080)

18th = $(-2,380)

19th = $(-2,500)

Therefore, to maximize profit, only the 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th, slots which are 5 slots should be sold late while 20 - 5 = 15 slots should be sold in advance

c. The probability that the total revenue will exceed the identified amount in part 'a' is the cumulative probability at the 12th slot which is given as follows;

P(D ≤ 12) = F(12) = 0.53.

Answer 2

The probability that the total revenue will exceed the identified amount in part 'a' is the cumulative probability at the 12th slot is 0.53.

What is the probability?

Probability refers to a possibility that deals with the occurrence of random events. The probability of all the events occurring need to be 1.

Given information

The demand for these last minute slots is estimated

8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19

Probability 0.03 0.05 0.1 0.15 0.2 0.15 0.1 0.05 0.05 0.05 0.05 0.02

The purchase price of the slots = 4,500

The salvage value of the slots = 2,000

The selling price of the slots = 8,000

a. The revenue received

R = The number of slots × The purchase price of the slot

R = 20 × $4,500 = $90,000

The revenue the station will receive by selling all the advertising slots in advance, R = $90,000

b. The Cost of Overage = Purchase price - Salvage value

The Cost of Overage,  = 4,500 - 2,000 = 2,500

The Cost of Underage,  = Selling price - Purchase price

The Cost of Underage,  = 8,000 - 4,500 = 3,500

Probability 0.03, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.15, 0.1, 0.05, 0.05, 0.05, 0.05, 0.02

Cumulative frequency

F(Q); 0.03, 0.08, 0.18, 0.33, 0.53, 0.68, 0.78, 0.83, 0.88, 0.93, 0.98, 1

The expected monetary value for the decision to sell the 8th slot at the last minute

The Cost of Underage × [1 - F(Q)] -  × F(Q)

Where F(Q) = The cumulative frequency for the 8th stock

Therefore, we get

3,500 × (1 - 0.03) - 2,500 × 0.03 = 3,300

For the 8th slot, the TV station is expected to make an extra $3,300

For the 9th slot, the profit over the purchase price = $3,020

For the 10th slot, the profit over the purchase price = $2,420

Similarly,

The profit over the purchase price for the 11th slot = $1,520

The profit over the purchase price for the 12th slot = $320

The profit over the purchase price for the 13th slot = $(-580)

The profit over the purchase price for the 14th = $(-1,180)

The profit over the purchase price for the 15th = $(-1,480)

The profit over the purchase price for the 16th = $(-1,780)

The profit over the purchase price for the 17th = $(-2,080)

The profit over the purchase price for the 18th = $(-2,380)

The profit over the purchase price for the 19th = $(-2,500)

Therefore, only the 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th slots should be sold in advance to maximize profit.

c. The probability that the total revenue will exceed the identified amount in part 'a' is the cumulative probability at the 12th slot.

P(D ≤ 12) = F(12) = 0.53.

What is the approximate circumference of a circle that has a center at (6,2) and passes through the point (20,2)? (Use 3.14 as an approximation for pi)

answers : 126,88,63,44

Answers

Answer:

C = 88

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we know that the circle passes thru the point (20,2), and it's center is (6,2).

The general definition of a circle's radius is the distance from the center to any point on the circle!

Vertically, these points are the same - so if we just subtract 20 from 6 we know the distance between the center and this point on the circle!

[tex]20 - 6 = 14\\r=14[/tex]

Anyhow, we now know that the radius is 14. and the equation for a circle's circumference is as follows:

[tex]r2\pi \\or\\d\pi[/tex]

Insert the values into the equation....

Given that,

The speed of light, v = 300,000,000

eWe need to find the distance light travel in 1 day. We know that,

1 day = 86400 seconds

Distance = speed × time

Find the 10th term of the geometric sequence show below

Answers

Answer:

-19,6830x^26

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of a geometric sequence is expressed as;

Tn -= ar^n-1

a is the first term

is the number of terms

r is the common ratio

Given

a = -10x^8

r = 30x^10/-10x^8 = -3x^2

n = 10

Substitute

a10 =  (-10x^8)(-3x^2)^10-1

a10 =  (-10x^8)(-3x^2)^9

a10 =  -10x^8)(19,683)x^18

a10 = -19,6830x^26

Answers

Answer:

The dimensions of the iphone are 2 inches by 7 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The dimensions of an iPhone are x – 2 and x + 3.

The area of an iphone is 14 sq inches

We need to find the dimensions of the iPhone. It is in the shape of a rectangle. Its area is given by :

[tex]A=l\times b\\\\(x-2)(x+3)=14\\\\x^2-2x+3x-6=14\\\\x^2+x-6-14=0\\\\x^2+x-20=0\\\\x^2+5x-4x-20=0\\\\x(x+5)-4(x+5)=0\\\\(x-4)(x+5)=0\\\\x=4\ and\ x=-5[/tex]

Neglecting negative value

First dimension = (x-2) = (4-2) = 2 inches

Other dimension = (x+3) = (4+3) = 7 inches

Hence, the dimensions of the iphone are 2 inches by 7 inches.

The ability to find a job after graduation is very important to GSU students as it is to the students at most colleges and universities. Suppose we take a poll (random sample) of 3653 students classified as Juniors and find that 3005 of them believe that they will find a job immediately after graduation. What is the 99 % confidence interval for the proportion of GSU Juniors who believe that they will, immediately, be employed after graduation. (0.812, 0.833) (0.806, 0.839) (0.81, 0.835) (0.816, 0.829)

Answers

Answer:

(0.806, 0.839)

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

Suppose we take a poll (random sample) of 3653 students classified as Juniors and find that 3005 of them believe that they will find a job immediately after graduation.

This means that [tex]n = 3653, \pi = \frac{3005}{3653} = 0.823[/tex]

99% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.01[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{0.01}{2} = 0.995[/tex], so [tex]Z = 2.575[/tex].

The lower limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.823 - 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.823*0.177}{3653}} = 0.806[/tex]

The upper limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.823 + 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.823*0.177}{3653}} = 0.839[/tex]

The answer is (0.806, 0.839)

Blue line buses were scheduled to leave the stadium every 8 minutes.

if the buses run on schedule, when is the next time a red line and a Blue line bus will leave together?

Answers

Answer:

4:24pm

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question, we need to find the LCM (Lowest common multiple) of 6 and 8 to find out when they will leave at the same time again.

To do this we can either list all the prime factors of each one and multiply the non-common ones:

6 = 2x3

8 = 2x2x2

2x2x3 = 24

OR we can list the multiples and find the lowest matching ones:

6 => 6, 12, 18, 24, 30

8 => 8, 16, 24, 32, 40

We can see that 24 is the least common factor.

This means that both busses will leave at the same time 24 minutes after 4pm.

Therefore the next time a red line and blue line bus will leave together is 4:24pm.
