A local real estate investor in Orlando is considering five
alternative investments: a day spa, a theater, a restaurant, a
motel, or a gift shop. Profits from the day spa, theater, gift shop
or restaurant will be affected by the cost of gasoline; profits
from the restaurant will be relatively stable under any
condition.
The following payoff table shows the profit or loss that could
result from each investment.
Determine the best investment using the minimax regret decision
criterion.

Mr. Backster is likely to hold the apartment complex of his choice for about 20 years and will use this period for decision-making purposes. Either apartment can be purchased for $180,000. Mr. Backster uses a risk-adjusted discount rate approach when evaluating investments. His scale is related to the coefficient of variation (for other types of investments, he also considers other measures).
| Coefficient of Variation | Discount Rate | |
| 0–0.35 | 8% | |
| 0.35–0.40 | 12 | (cost of capital) |

A device consisting of four heavy balls connected by low-mass rods is free to rotate about an axle. It is initially not spinning. A small bullet traveling very fast buries itself in one of the balls. In the diagram, m=0.002 kg, v = 400 m/s, M1 = 1.5 kg, M2 = 0.5 kg, R1 = 0.8 m, and R2 = 0.3 m. The axle of the device is at the origin (0,0,0), and the bullet strikes at location (0.247, 0.761,0) m.
Just after the impact, what is the angular speed of the device? Note that this is an inelastic collision; the system's temperature increases. angular speed (absolute value of the angular velocity) = _______ radians/s

A car wash offers both a regular wash and a deluxe wash for their customers. They track their customers over time and determine that a customer orders the deluxe wash with a probability of 0.3. They also offer air fresheners for their customer for a nominal fee and find that regular wash customers get an air freshener with a probability of 0.45, and deluxe wash customers get an air freshener with probability 0.8. Assume that the car wash only offers the regular and deluxe packages.
a.) What is the probability that a customer gets an air freshener, regardless of the type of wash they ordered?
b.) What is the probability a customer ordered the deluxe package, provided that you know they purchased an air freshener?
