A concessions manager at the Tech versus A&M football game must decide whether to have the vendors sell sun visors or umbrellas. There is a 35% chance of rain, a 25% chance of overcast skies, and a 40% chance of sunshine, according to the weather forecast in college junction, where the game is to be held. The manager estimates that the following profits will result from each decision, given each set of weather conditions:
Decision Weather Conditions Rain 0.35 Overcast 0.25 Sunshine 0.40
Sun visors Rain $-400 Overcast $-200 Sunshine $1,500
Umbrellas Rain 2,100 Overcast 0 Sunshine -800
a. Compute the expected value for each decision and select the best one.
b. Develop the opportunity loss table and compute the expected opportunity loss for each decision.

Clinical depression is a serious disorder that affects millions of people. Depression often leads to alcohol as a means of easing the pain. A Gallup survey attempted to study the relationship between depression and alcohol. A random sample of adults was drawn and after a series of question each respondent was identified as a 1 = Nondrinker, 2 = moderate drinker, 3 = heavy drinker. Additionally, each respondent was asked whether they had ever been diagnosed as clinically depressed at some time in their lives (1 = Yes, 2 = No). Is there enough evidence to conclude that alcohol and depression are related? |

A manufacturing company produces electric insulators. You define the variable of interest as the strength of the insulators. If the insulators break when in use, a short circuit is likely. To test the strength of the insulators, you carry out destructive testing to determine how much force is required to break the insulators. You measure force by observing how many pounds are applied to the insulator before it breaks. The data shown below represent the amount of force required to break a sample of 30 insulators. Complete parts a through c below. 9 10 7 7 15 19 22 24 15 35 15 30 25 22 30 31 28 29 39 62 10 6 42 40 15 22 23 24 25 25 Construct a 99% confidence interval for the population mean force.

Analysis of this paragraph along with the overall analysis of poem "Her Kind" by Anne Sexton.
This paragraph belongs to the same poem as mentioned above.
I have found the warm caves in the woods,
filled them with skillets, carvings, shelves,
closets, silks, innumerable goods;
fixed the suppers for the worms and the elves:
whining, rearranging the disaligned.
A woman like that is misunderstood.
I have been her kind.
I just need the analysis of both the paragraph and the poem itself, not a summary.
