USA Today reported that approximately 25% of all state prison inmates released on parole become repeat offenders while on parole. Suppose the parole board is examining five prisoners up for parole. Let x = number of prisoners out of five on parole who become repeat offenders.

x 0 1 2 3 4 5
P(x) 0.200 0.376 0.230 0.152 0.041 0.001

(a) Find the probability that one or more of the five parolees will be repeat offenders. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)


How does this number relate to the probability that none of the parolees will be repeat offenders?

These probabilities are not related to each other.This is twice the probability of no repeat offenders.     This is five times the probability of no repeat offenders.These probabilities are the same.This is the complement of the probability of no repeat offenders.


(b) Find the probability that two or more of the five parolees will be repeat offenders. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)


(c) Find the probability that four or more of the five parolees will be repeat offenders. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)


(d) Compute μ, the expected number of repeat offenders out of five. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
μ =  prisoners

(e) Compute σ, the standard deviation of the number of repeat offenders out of five. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
σ =  prisoners

The college student senate is sponsoring a spring break Caribbean cruise raffle. The proceeds are to be donated to the Samaritan Center for the Homeless. A local travel agency donated the cruise, valued at $2000. The students sold 2034 raffle tickets at $5 per ticket.

(a) Kevin bought nineteen tickets. What is the probability that Kevin will win the spring break cruise to the Caribbean? (Round your answer to five decimal places.)


What is the probability that Kevin will not win the cruise? (Round your answer to five decimal places.)


(b) Expected earnings can be found by multiplying the value of the cruise by the probability that Kevin will win. What are Kevin's expected earnings? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
$  

Is this more or less than the amount Kevin paid for the nineteen tickets?
---Select--- more less

How much did Kevin effectively contribute to the Samaritan Center for the Homeless? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Sailing Voyages Inc. is a company operated by an individual as a summer tourist attraction on the Great Lakes. It operates a sailing schooner offering day cruises for individuals and groups. Over the last few years, the average number of tourists per cruise was 30. The average charge per person for the cruise including group discounts was $100. The company operates from mid-May until mid-September. On average, the ship sails 100 days during this period. ‘The Canadian’ (the name of the schooner) requires a crew of 6, and is captained by the owner of the company. University students with extensive sailing experience have been willing to work on a per diem basis of $100. They are paid only if the ship is cruising. The ship provides non-alcoholic refreshments and a light lunch. These are acquired daily from a local delicatessen and cost, on average, $25 per person. The daily operating expenses fuel and miscellaneous supplies average $50 per cruise. The company has a variety of annual expenses including: maintenance, depreciation, marketing, licenses, etc., totaling approximately $85,000. Required: Prepare an Excel Workbook to answer the following questions in a professional manner. Ensure that you are utilizing Excel features (including links between spreadsheets, formulas, formatting, graphing).

1. Compute the revenue and variable costs for each cruise. Use this to compute the contribution margin per cruise.

2. Compute the number of cruises that ‘Canadian’ must have each year to break-even. Use your knowledge gained in this course to show the different formulas, graphs etc for break-even analysis.

3. The owner expects a total return on capital and remuneration of $125,000. Using the concept of ‘contribution margin’, cost-volume-profit, and target profit calculations, estimate how many cruises the Canadian needs to make to reach this objective. Is this a realistic expectation? Add your thoughts, proposals, and recommendations.

4. Prepare a contribution margin income statement for Sailing Voyages Inc. If the owner wishes to adjust or achieve his income goal, what changes can he make? How can these changes be easily estimated and projected to show how these changes affect net income. Use your imagination, and your knowledge of cost-volume-profit analysis. Highlight your ideas by utilizing the various graphing tools in Excel.
