In a backyard vineyard in Napa Valley with 10 grape vines in a row, if the weather works well (just right), rain in the Spring and dry through summer, the yield for each vine is distributed roughly binomial with N=700, p=0.6. In a drought the yield is Binomial with N=720 and P=0.5, while if the year is too wet, the yield of useful grapes per vine is N=650, P=0.65. Under climate change the probability of just the right year is about 0.4 of a too wet year is 0.1, and a dry year is 0.5. On a just right year the wine can sell for 120 dollars/bottle, on a dry year the quality drops so it will sell for 60 dollars a bottle, on wet year it will sell for 20 dollars a bottle (For a Z score with absolute value >5 assume the probability is 0) The yield for all 10 vines was more than 4210 grapes. Given this yield:

a) What is the probability that you will be able to sell for 120 dollars a bottle?

b) What is the probability that you will be selling for 60 dollars a bottle?

c) What is the probability that you can only sell for 20 dollars a bottle?

d) What is your expected revenue per bottle?

In a backyard vineyard in Napa Valley with 10 grape vines in a row, if the weather works well (just right), rain in the Spring and dry through summer, the yield for each vine is distributed roughly binomial with N=800, p=0.5. In a drought the yield is Binomial with N=800 and P=0.48, while if the year is too wet, the yield of useful grapes per vine is N=600, P=0.2.

The Sander’s family owns a large grape vineyard in Jackson, Mississippi. The grape vines must be sprayed at the beginning of the growing season to protect against various insects and diseases. Two new insecticides have just been marketed: Pernod 5 and Action. To test their effectiveness, three long rows were selected and sprayed with Pernod 5 and three other were sprayed with Action. When the grapes ripened, 400 of the vines treated with Pernod 5 were checked for infestation. Likewise,...

You own a 10-acre vineyard and earn income by selling your grapes to wineries. Your vineyard is currently planted to Merlot grapes, but you are thinking of replanting with Syrah grapes because they are commanding a higher market price per ton. Merlot fetches $1600 per ton but Syrah sells for $2800 per ton, those prices are expected to remain stable, and you produce 50 tons per year. Either way, you plan to sell the vineyard 5 years from today (at...
