1)      Surrounding the Great Lake are four paper-mills, each producing 100 tons of paper per year. The paper is sold on the national market for $2 per ton, and including all the costs of production, costs for each firm are $1 per ton. Thus each firm earns a pure economic profit of $1 per ton. These paper mills require fresh water to operate and also produce a pollutant, which they dump into the Great Lake. New paper mills can...

The helicopter shown in the figure below has a mass of 12 tons and it needs to rotate its 14 meter blades (diameter of the blades = 14 meters) at 670 rpm just to hover (stand still in mid air) without any additional load. The air flow caused by the rotation of the helicopter blades may be modeled as a moving cylindrical body of air having a 14 meter diameter. The average velocity of the airflow of that cylindrical air-body...

. (1) A man has a 4-sided (tetrahedral) die, with four faces, 1, 2, 3, and 4. He rolls it 12 times. (a) Given that for each roll of the die, the probability of rolling a 4 is 1/4 and the probability of not doing so is 3/4, compute the following probabilities P(x = x0),where x is the number of times that the man rolls a 4 among the 12 trials. (b) What is the average value of x? What...
