Let X denote the number of Canon SLR cameras sold during a particular week by a certain store. The pmf of X is

x 0 1 2 3 4

pX(x) 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.25 0.15

Seventy percent of all customers who purchase these cameras also buy an extended warranty. Let Y denote the number of purchasers during this week who buy an extended warranty.

(a) What is P(X = 4, Y = 2)? [Hint: This probability equals P(Y = 2|X = 4) · P(X = 4); now think of the four purchases as four trials of a binomial experiment, with success on a trial corresponding to buying an extended warranty.] (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

P(X = 4, Y = 2) =

(b) Calculate P(X = Y). (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

P(X = Y) =

Molecular Orbital Theory -- Homodiatomics Use the molecular orbital model to fully describe the bonding in O2+, O2, O2-, and O22-. Determine which of the following statements are true and which are false.

The electron configuration of O2- is (σ2s)2(σ2s*)2(σ2p)2(π2p)4(π2p*)

The electron configuration of O2+ is (σ2s)2(σ2s*)2(σ2p)2(π2p)4(π2p*)

The number of unpaired electrons in O2+ and O22- is, respectively, 1 and 2.

The bond lengths increase in the order: O2+ < O2 < O2- < O22-.

The bond order in O2+ and O2 is, respectively, 2.5 and 2.

Bond length and bond energy both increase with increasing bond order.

A well-researched effect in the criminal justice literature is that mock jurors in research studies are more likely to convict an African-American defendant than a White defendant when they are accused of the same crime. For this study, we wanted to know whether a measure of self-reported racial bias was correlated with or could be used to predict harshness of sentencing recommendations for an African-American defendant. Participants read a vignette where an African American defendant was tried and convicted of a crime, and they were then asked to indicate how long of a prison sentence they felt he deserved (options ranged from 0 years – 7 years). They then completed a measure of self-reported racial bias, which had a minimum score of 0 (least biased) to 20 (most biased)

  1. Your hapless statistics professor and the National Association of Pillow-makers (NAP) have asked you to investigate the insidious impact of caffeine consumption on student-professor relations. To study the topic you collect the following information about the number of cups of coffee consumed by a sample of students in a given day during finals week and the number of violent thoughts they have about their professors.

              Student #        Cups of coffee         Violent thoughts

              1                                6                             5

              2                                3                             2

  1. With a single statistic, summarize the strength and the direction of the association between the number of cups of coffee consumed and the number of violent thoughts for this group of students. Be sure to name and interpret the statistic you use.
  2. Do your data provide enough evidence to conclude that the association between coffee consumption and violent thoughts exists in the population from which your sample was drawn? (Again, you will need to perform a hypothesis test.) Explain your answer and show all necessary work. You should write out the research and null hypotheses in Greek notation.

Tim and Tam respectively invested $55 000 and $45 000 to form T & T Partnership on 1 January 2019. The partnership had a final profit of $66 000 for the year ended 31 December 2019.

Required:

  1. By using Method 2 (fixed capital balances) procedures, prepare the journal entries to close the Profit or Loss Summary account, and then to distribute the profit to partners Tim and Tam under each of the following assumptions:

  1. Tim and Tam agree to share a profit in the ratio of 3:2. (4 marks)

  1. Tim and Tam agree to share a profit in the ratio of their respective original capital investment. (4 marks)
  1. Tim and Tam agree to recognise a respective salary allowance of $20 000 per year to Tim and $15 000 to Tam. In addition, each partner is entitled to 7% interest on his original capital investment, with the remaining profit to be equally shared.     (4 marks)
  1. Repeat the above-mentioned requirement (1) (c), this time assuming T & T Partnership made a profit of only $38 000 for the year ended 31 December 2019.

As the production manager of the Neptune Boat Corporation, you must determine how many units of the Model 4W speedboat to produce over the next four quarters. The company has a starting inventory of 75 units, and demand is 125 units in quarter 1, 100 units in quarter 2, 40 units in quarter 3, and 20 units in quarter 4. Production capacity is limited to 70 units in quarter 1, 90 units in quarter 2, 50 units in quarter 3, and 60 units in quarter 4. The inventory cost during quarters 1 and 2 is $200 per unit per quarter, and $300 per unit per quarter during quarters 3 and 4. Production costs for the first quarter are $8,000 per unit, and these costs increase by 10% per quarter due to increasing labor and material costs. Neptune’s senior management has indicated that the ending inventory for quarter 4 must be at least 30 units. Develop a linear programming model that Neptune can use to determine the optimal production schedule that will minimize the total cost of meeting demand for the Model 4W speedboat in each quarter, subject to the capacity and inventory constraints. You do not need to solve the LP.
