Strassel Investors buys real estate, develops it, and resells it for a profit. A new property is available, and Bud Strassel, the president and owner of Strassel Investors, believes if he purchases and develops this property, it can then be sold for $160,000. The current property owner has asked for bids and stated that the property will be sold for the highest bid in excess of $100,000. Two competitors will be submitting bids for the property. Strassel does not know what the competitors will bid, but he assumes for planning purposes that the amount bid by each competitor will be uniformly distributed between $100,000 and $150,000.

1.      Develop a worksheet that can be used to simulate the bids made by the two competitors. Strassel is considering a bid of $130,000 for the property. Using a simulation of 1000 trials, what is the estimate of the probability Strassel will be able to obtain the property using a bid of $130,000?

2.      How much does Strassel need to bid to be assured of obtaining the property? What is the profit associated with this bid?

3.      Use the simulation model to compute the profit for each trial of the simulation run. With maximization of profit as Strassel’s objective, use simulation to evaluate Strassel’s bid alternatives of $130,000, $140,000, or $150,000. What is the recommended bid, and what is the expected profit?

1. SAT math scores are normally distributed with a mean 525 and a standard deviation of 102. In order to qualify for a college you are interested in attending your SAT math score must be in the highest 9.34% of all SAT scores. What is the minimum score you need on the SAT to qualify for the college?

2. If you get into this college you are interested in running for the track team. To qualify for the track team you must run in the fastest 4.75% of all runners of the mile. If the running of the mile is normally distributed with a mean of 6.02 minutes and a standard deviation of 1.32 minutes what is the maximum time you have to run the mile and still qualify for the team?

3. The time a cell phone lasts until it needs to be recharged is normally distributed with a mean of 14 hours and a standard deviation of 3 hours.

a) You have to have your cell phone work for 10 hours as you are going on a hike. What is the probability the cell phone will not make the 10 hours necessary? (in other words what % cell phones last 10 hours or less before needing to be recharged)?

b) What percent of cell phones last over 18 hours before they have to be recharged?
