Let x be a random variable that represents the weights in kilograms (kg) of healthy adult female deer (does) in December in a national park. Then x has a distribution that is approximately normal with mean μ = 52.0 kg and standard deviation σ = 9.0 kg. Suppose a doe that weighs less than 43 kg is considered undernourished.
(a) What is the probability that a single doe captured (weighed
and released) at random in December is undernourished? (Round your
answer to four decimal places.)
(b) If the park has about 2100 does, what number do you expect to
be undernourished in December? (Round your answer to the nearest
whole number.)
does
(c) To estimate the health of the December doe population, park
rangers use the rule that the average weight of n = 70
does should be more than 49 kg. If the average weight is less than
49 kg, it is thought that the entire population of does might be
undernourished. What is the probability that the average weight
x
for a random sample of 70 does is less than 49 kg (assuming a
healthy population)? (Round your answer to four decimal
places.)
(d) Compute the probability that
x
< 53.6 kg for 70 does (assume a healthy population). (Round
your answer to four decimal places.)
Suppose park rangers captured, weighed, and released 70 does in
December, and the average weight was
x
= 53.6 kg. Do you think the doe population is undernourished or not? Explain.
Since the sample average is above the mean, it is quite unlikely that the doe population is undernourished.Since the sample average is above the mean, it is quite likely that the doe population is undernourished. Since the sample average is below the mean, it is quite unlikely that the doe population is undernourished.Since the sample average is below the mean, it is quite likely that the doe population is undernourished.

An article in the Wall Street Journal on the parking problems at Tesla's Fremont, California factory notes that: "Tesla has tried to encourage alternatives to driving, such as biking, public transportation and the shuttle buses provided from around the Bay Area ..."
If Tesla auctioned off the right to park in its lot, would the firm need to provide other encouragement for employees to use alternative means of transportation? Briefly explain.
A.
Yes, it would remain necessary to provide alternatives to driving because the price of parking spaces would rise.
B.
No, it would not be necessary because the spaces would be allocated to those most willing to pay for them.
C.
No, encouraging the use of transportation alternatives would not be necessary due to a shortage of spaces.
D.
Yes, encouraging driving alternatives would still be necessary because the supply of spaces would be unchanged.
Is the most economically efficient allocation of parking spaces in Tesla's lot likely to result from auctioning off the right to park or from keeping parking free while encouraging employees to use alternative means of getting to work? Briefly explain.
A.
Keeping parking free, because no one has to pay anything for parking.
B.
Keeping parking free, because those with less income may get a parking space.
C.
Auctioning off the right to park, because the people who get the parking spaces would be determined randomly.
D.
Auctioning off the right to park, because those who benefit the most from the parking spaces would receive them.
Given your answer above, why hasn't Tesla considered charging employees for parking in its lot?
A.
Employees may consider this method to be unfair.
B.
Tesla workers are not rational.
C.
Managers may believe that they should not be charged for parking.
D.
Charging employees for parking is too time-consuming.

Our role: as a non-profit organization, the Coalition for the Homeless in NYC.
Focus area: Mott Haven, Bronx
Partner: Comfort Inn & Suites in Bronx, Family Shelter in Bronx, Government
Solution:
We’re partnering with Comfort Inn & Suites in Bronx to give a room for homeless people that we have data and information to stay on one of the room.
Group of homeless that priority: family with children, single mom with children, elderly (60+), disability people.
We’re asking Comfort Inn & Suites to give us at least 15 rooms (out of 84) during the low season and 7 rooms during the high season. Each room can accomodate 2 to 3 people. So we can put at least 45 homeless people for one night.
Asking special rate: Normal rate is around $142 → $49 on low season and $99 on high season (for us)
Who pay: we will pay monthly and ask government to subsidize our program at least half of the total cost. Asking local religious institution such as churches, synagogues or mosques to participate in our program.
How we select homeless?
We work together with Family Shelter Bronx to get the information of homeless people who still sleep outside the shelter
Working closely with HOME-STAT to have information for people that need immediate place to rest such as homeless with medical issue or disability.
Before we send the homeless people, at the shelter, we will give them food, ask them to shower and change clothes and check their health.
After that, we send them to the Comfort Inn & Suites to stay there for 1 week
During 1 week period, our staff will help them to find shelters in Bronx area or NYC’s area
We will help the homeless people to apply job, SOTA, or affordable housing in the NYC’s area.
If we can’t put them in the shelter within 1 week period, we will continue to pay their hotel fee for another week.
How the process in the hotel?
We will send the information first to the hotel of how many homeless will stay and give them their informations.
Each homeless that we selected need to give their ID in the reception.
The front desk will give the key to homeless on the assign room.
In case, there is a damage in the hotel room, our organization will pay the damage.
Every day, our staff will check their conditions and also follow up the plan
We will take care of them till worst condition

Let x be a random variable that represents the weights in kilograms (kg) of healthy adult female deer (does) in December in a national park. Then x has a distribution that is approximately normal with mean μ = 70.0 kg and standard deviation σ = 7.3 kg. Suppose a doe that weighs less than 61 kg is considered undernourished.
(a) What is the probability that a single doe captured (weighed
and released) at random in December is undernourished? (Round your
answer to four decimal places.)
(b) If the park has about 2650 does, what number do you expect to
be undernourished in December? (Round your answer to the nearest
whole number.)
does
(c) To estimate the health of the December doe population, park
rangers use the rule that the average weight of n = 45
does should be more than 67 kg. If the average weight is less than
67 kg, it is thought that the entire population of does might be
undernourished. What is the probability that the average weight
x
for a random sample of 45 does is less than 67 kg (assuming a
healthy population)? (Round your answer to four decimal
places.)
(d) Compute the probability that
x
< 71.2 kg for 45 does (assume a healthy population). (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Most armadillos of the genus Dasypus give birth to four monozygotic young (i.e., identical quadruplets).
Which statement is correct?
A random variable that could be studied while monitoring this species could be the number of male young born.
Because there are four babies, the probability of four males or four females must be 1/4 .
Because the young are all identical, there is no randomness.
In the long run, an equal number of males and females will be born.

Parking is often a challenge, and it is also expensive to park on many college campuses. It is very tempting to park without paying, but there is a risk of getting a ticket. Based on empirical data, here is a probability table that quantifies the chances of various outcomes.
| Event | No ticket | Warning | Fine | Towed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Probability | 0.4 | 0.4 | 0.1 | ?? |
Which statement is not true?
Suppose you park for two days and that the probability above is the same for both days and each day’s outcome does not affect the other day’s outcome. The probability that you will have no ticket over this two‑day period is 0.36.
You parked on campus from Monday to Thursday and did not receive a ticket. Then the probability of no ticket on Friday (assuming each day’s events are independent) is still 0.40.
The probability of being towed is 0.10.
The probability that you will be fined or towed is 0.20.

Over the past six months, Six Flags conducted a marketing study on improving their park experience. The study cost $3.00 million and the results suggested that Six Flags add a kid's only roller coaster.
Suppose that Six Flags decides to build a new roller coaster for the upcoming operating season. The depreciable equipment for the roller coaster will cost $50.00 million and an additional $5.00 million to install. The equipment will be depreciated straight-line over 20 years.
The marketing team at Six Flags expects the coaster to increase attendance at the park by 5%. This translates to 110,199.00 more visitors at an average ticket price of $39.00. Expenses for these visitors are about 11.00% of sales.
There is no impact on working capital. The average visitor spends $20.00 on park merchandise and concessions. The after-tax operating margin on these side effects is 38.00%. The tax rate facing the firm is 38.00%, while the cost of capital is 9.00%.
What is the project cash flow for year 0? (answer in terms of MILLIONS)
What is the project cash flow for year 1? (express answer in millions)
What is the NPV of this coaster project if Six Flags will
evaluate it over a 20-year period? (Six Flags expects the first
year project cash flow to grow at 5% per year, going forward)
