Construction of a new fright terminal along a rural highway has been proposed. During certain periods of the day, significant numbers of large trucks are expected to depart the terminal’s one-lane driveway to access an interstate highway. Developers would like to know if there are an adequate number of time gaps (headways) in the highway traffic to permit about 40 trucks per hour to enter the highway without the need for a traffic signal. To permit a truck to safely enter the highway, a time gap of at least 8 seconds is needed. Assuming that there will be a flow of 850 vehicles on the highway during a design hour, how many gaps or opportunities will there be during the design hour for trucks to enter the highway without a traffic signal? Assume that vehicle arrivals follow a Poisson distribution.

Steinberg Corporation and Dietrich Corporation are identical companies except that Dietrich is more levered. Both companies will remain in business for one more year. The companies' economists agree that the probability of the continuation of the current expansion is 70 percent for the next year, and the probability of a recession is 30 percent. If the expansion continues, each company will generate earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of $3.4 million. If a recession occurs, each company will generate earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of $1.8 million. Steinberg's debt obligation requires the company to pay $970,000 at the end of the year. Dietrich's debt obligation requires the company to pay $1.9 million at the end of the year. Neither company pays taxes. Assume a discount rate of 12 percent.

b. Steinberg’s CEO recently stated that Steinberg’s value should be higher than Dietrich’s because the company has less debt and therefore less bankruptcy risk. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?

Show that the number of triangulations of a regular n-gon is the same as the number of Catalan paths from (0,0) to (n−2, n−2).

A Catalan path is defined as the following:

we want to count the number of distinct paths from the point (0,0) to the point (n, n) subject to the following rules:

•We must stay inside the box [0, n]×[0, n].

•We move one step at a time, either moving one unit East or one unit North.

•We cannot visit the same point twice.

•The path must always stay at or below the line y = x.

Is the number of tornadoes increasing? In the last homework, data on the number of tornadoes in the United States between 1953 and 2014 were analyzed to see if there was a linear trend over time. Some argue that it’s not the number of tornadoes increasing over time, but rather the probability of sighting them because there are more people living in the United States. Let’s investigate this by including the U.S. census count (in thousands) as an additional explanatory variable (data in EX11-24TWISTER.csv).

Perform a multiple regression using both year and census count as explanatory variables. Write down the fitted model. Are year and census count respectively significant in the MLR model?
