URGENT QUICK PROBABILITY QUESTIONS
Problem #2
Part a: A data scientist is is building a model for a business to evaluate various metrics about the products and outlook. In looking at the data, she decides that a product should be continued if it sold 8,000 over the previous year. In addition, the product is considered “popular” if it receives 200 mentions by the local press over the past year.
In selecting a product at random from the company’s web page, let C be the likelihood that this product sold 8000 products the past year. Let P be the likelihood that the product received the 200 or more mentions by the local press.
The analyst determines that P(C) = 0.307, P(P) = 0.194, and the probability that a product has sold 8000 items, and was ‘popular’ is 0.083. What is the probability that a randomly selected product either sold the requisite 8000 items, or that it is ‘popular’?
Part b: Where would the analyst have come up with the probaility values for P(C) andP(P)?
Problem #3
At a insurance sales conference, exactly 100 people are selected at random from conference registration records. Under “specialty”, 25 people indicated that they are specialize in health insurance, 36 said they focused on life insurance, and 24 said “Other”. The remaining individuals specified either Car insurance or Home Insurance. The rest of the individuals did not specify any specialty.
a) If you were to pick 3 individuals at random, what is the probability that the first one specializes in life insurance, and the second one also specializes in life insurance?
b) If you were to pick 3 individuals at random, what is the probability that the first one specializes in life insurance, and the second one specializes in car insurance?
c) If you were to pick 3 individuals at random, what is the probability that at least one specializes in health insurance?

IntelPrint's current presses have a quality problem that causes variations in the shade of some colors. Its engineers suggest changing a key component in each press.
The new component will cost $ 40 more than the old one. In the next year, however, IntelPrint expects that with the new component it will (1) save 10,000 hours of rework, (2) save
950 hours of customer support, (3) move 300 fewer loads, (4) save 5,400 hours of warranty repairs, and (5) sell an additional 100 printing presses, for a total contribution margin of
$1,100,000. IntelPrint believes that even as it improves quality, it will not be able to save any of the fixed costs of rework or repair. IntelPrint uses a 1-year time horizon for this decision because it plans to introduce a new press at the end of the year.
Requirements:
|
1. |
Should IntelPrint change to the new component? Show your calculations. | ||||||||||
|
2. |
Suppose the estimate of 100 additional printing presses sold is uncertain. What is the minimum number of additional printing presses that IntelPrint needs to sell to justify adopting the new component? | ||||||||||

3. |
What other factors should managers at IntelPrintI consider when making their decision about changing to a new component? Requirement 1. Should IntelPrint change to the new component? Show your calculations. Begin by selecting the formula and calculating the relevant cost amount.
