A firm with yearly net income of $31,000 has only two customers,
each of whom makes identical purchases once per year. Timely Tom
makes his purchase today and at the start of next year, while Late
Louie makes his purchase half a year from today and halfway into
next year (18 months from today). Moreover, Late Louie always pays
6 months late, i.e. at year end. What is the NPV of all cash flows
to this firm in the next...

Two brands of car batteries, both carrying 6-year warranties,
were sampled and tested under controlled conditions. Five of each
brand failed after the number of months shown. Calculate a) both
sample means and b) both sample standard deviations. Decide c)

consistent lifetime. Brand A: 68, 69, 76, 76, 73 Brand B:
61, 69, 68, 67, 61

Part B only:
Two types of drill bits are being tested for wear. The two types
of drill bits are each tested on 10 different machines, each used
for a variety of parts. The data on wear in mm, over a 2-week
testing cycle is shown below.

A random sample of 6IC's is taken from a large consignment and
tested in two independent
stages. The probability that an IC will pass either stage is
p.All the 6IC's are tested at the first stage.
If 5 or more pass the test, those which pass are tested at the
second stage.The consignment is accepted if
there is at most one failure at each stage.
a) what is the probability that stage two of the test will be
required?

Two marbles are drawn at random and with replacement from a box
containing 2 red, 3 green, and 4 blue marbles. Let's define the
following events: A = {two red marbles are drawn} B = {two green
marbles are drawn} C = {two blue marbles are drawn} D = two marbles
of the same color are drawn}
Find the probabilities of the following events:
(a) P(A), P(B), P(C), and P(D).
(b) P(A|D).

A program for generating random numbers on a computer is to be
tested. The program is instructed to generate 100 single-digit
integers between 0 and 9. The frequencies of the observed integers
were as follows. At the 0.05 level of significance, is there
sufficient reason to believe that the integers are not being
