  1. Problem 16-09

    The Iowa Energy are scheduled to play against the Maine Red Claws in an upcoming game in the National Basketball Association Developmental League (NBA-DL). Because a player in the NBA-DL is still developing their skills, the number of points he scores in a game can vary. Assume that each player's point production can be represented as an integer uniform variable with the ranges provided in the table below.

    Player Iowa Energy Maine Red Claws
    1 [5, 20] [7, 12]
    2 [7, 20] [15, 20]
    3 [5, 10] [10, 20]
    4 [10, 40] [15, 30]
    5 [6, 20] [5, 10]
    6 [3, 10] [1, 20]
    7 [2, 5] [1, 4]
    8 [2, 4] [2, 4]
    1. Develop a spreadsheet model that simulates the points scored by each team. What is the average and standard deviation of points scored by the Iowa Energy? If required, round your answer to one decimal place.

      Average =

      Standard Deviation =

      What is the shape of the distribution of points scored by the Iowa Energy?


    2. What is the average and standard deviation of points scored by the Maine Red Claws? If required, round your answer to one decimal place.

      Average =

      Standard Deviation =

      What is the shape of the distribution of points scored by the Maine Red Claws?


    3. Let Point Differential = Iowa Energy points - Maine Red Claw points. What is the average point differential between the Iowa Energy and Maine Red Claws? If required, round your answer to one decimal place.



      What is the standard deviation in the point differential?



      What is the shape of the point differential distribution?


    4. What is the probability of that the Iowa Energy scores more points than the Maine Red Claws? If required, round your answer to three decimal places.


    5. The coach of the Iowa Energy feels that they are the underdog and is considering a "riskier" game strategy. The effect of the riskier game strategy is that the range of each Energy player's point production increases symmetrically so that the new range is [0, original upper bound + original lower bound]. For example, Energy player 1's range with the risky strategy is [0, 25]. How does the new strategy affect the average and standard deviation of the Energy point total?

      Average =

      Standard Deviation =

      Explain.

Problem 16-09 Cost of Trade Credit Grunewald Industries sells on terms of 3/10, net 30. Gross sales last year were $4,247,000 and accounts receivable averaged $457,500. Half of Grunewald's customers paid on the 10th day and took discounts. What are the nominal and effective costs of trade credit to Grunewald's nondiscount customers? (Hint: Calculate daily sales based on a 365-day year, calculate the average receivables for discount customers, and then find the DSO for the nondiscount customers.) Do not round...
