. Suppose that the lifetime of a charged electronic device is uniformly distributed in the interval [5, 6] hours. Suppose you take 20 measurements. Compute the following • The probability that the mean over the 10 measurements exceeds 5.6 hours. • The probability that the mean lies between 5.45, and 5.55 hours. • The probability that the mean exceeds 6.1 hours. Think about this last point carefully: Do it first by applying the central limit theorem, but then explain whether this answer makes sense or not.

Jed Smith is a 38-year-old welder who came into the treatment center after being arrested for drinking and driving (DUI/DWI). His attorney has suggested that he quit drinking and enter treatment, at least until his trial, which is scheduled to occur in 2 months. Jed does not anticipate serving jail time, but he believes that treatment could strengthen his legal case. After his first arrest for DUI 2 years ago, he simply paid a fine and attended a special driver's education program for 6 weeks. Jed found the program to be a “waste of time.”

Jed has been married for 8 years and has two daughters, aged 8 and 6. He has had numerous arguments with his wife, Emily, concerning his drinking. He gets very angry and defensive when she confronts him about his heavy drinking and he asserts that he is not an alcoholic. He knows this is true because his father was an alcoholic and Jed says that he is not like his father. His father died as the result of a fight that occurred in traffic when he was drunk. Jed says that his father used to “beat the tar” out of him and his brother when he was drunk and that his father always belittled, taunted, and threatened their mother, whether he was drunk or sober. Jed references that his family is Irish and that it was cultural normal to drink and enjoy alcohol and that all of his family and relatives drink in excess.

Jed's work history is very good; he misses less than one day per year. He works the day shift on weekdays, putting in time-and-a-half on most Saturdays. He is well regarded by his supervisors and peers at work. He is fearful that his employer will find out about his treatment (it is being covered by his HMO), and that people at work will learn about the second DUI arrest.

Jed drinks with his buddies from the plant, and does not think that his drinking is any more than what they do. He was just “unlucky and was caught doing what everyone else seems to get away with. Jed's drinking is very predictable: he drinks 8-9 beers on a weeknight. Several of these are consumed at the bar with friends, the remainder at home over the course of the evening. He usually falls asleep in front of the television. When he is not working on Saturdays, he often drinks several 12-packs between Friday and Sunday. A typical Saturday involves getting up at 10:00 a.m., playing soccer with friends, and going to the bar for the rest of the day and night. This pattern leads to arguments with Emily, who calls him a “lousy father.” At times, Jed has had unsettling episodes of being unable to recall what happened while drinking. He has commented to friends that “maybe I overdo it a bit.” Several times, he has attempted to cut down on his drinking, especially after the last DUI. He once attended a few AA meetings, but did not feel that AA was helpful: "It was listening to a lot of guys whining…" and he especially did not care for the prayers.

Despite these attempts, Jed has experienced increased consumption levels over the past 2 years. He admits that, as a result of the drinking, he has become increasingly estranged from his wife and daughters. Jed feels that his marriage has been basically good, but that he would not blame Emily for leaving him, the way things have been going lately. She will no longer sleep with him while he is intoxicated, which occurs regularly. She complains that the house is falling apart because Jed does not keep up with his chores. He believes that his marriage would become solid again, if he stopped overdoing the drinking, but he complains about her hassling him about the alcohol.

Jed is not close to his remaining family members. His mother is very religious and wishes Jed would see religion as a way out of his problems. His siblings live in other communities and they rarely get together. His wife and daughters regularly attend his mother's church, but Jed only attends on Christmas Eve and Easter Sunday.

Jed is distraught about having to remain abstinent in preparation for the trial. He has trouble getting to sleep without alcohol. He also “gets jumpy when he tries to stay away from drinking, feeling “closed in or like he is suffocating.” Jed reports that he is not used to socializing without alcohol and alcohol helps him relax and be more social with people.

Jed is willing to go to AA meetings only because he knows they may be court ordered and it may be better for his legal case. He does struggle with the philosophy of AA. He does not like the spirituality part of the program and does not like when people talk about God.

He does believe that he can go to the bars with his friends and not drink. He does think that he can increase his sports activities to help him not drink although many of his friends who play also drink.

Part 1: Harmful/Destructive Behaviors Chart

Complete the chart below by including a minimum of three behaviors as well as associated rewards and consequences related to relapse and abstinence behaviors.

Harmful/destructive behaviors that the client will need to avoid to prevent a relapse

Possible rewards the client experiences when they choose to use drugs/engage in relapse activities.

Possible costs for returning to use and the associated consequences

              Part 2: Current Risks of Relapse

              In this section, you will identify the steps to reduce the risk of relapse. Describe how you might assist Jed to identify high-risk situations, and specific triggers leading to relapse.

              1. What steps has the client already taken to reduce the risk of relapse? What is the client’s agreement to abstain from substance use/misuse?
              1. What are some high-risk situations that may trigger a relapse for the client? List three specific situations that may lead to relapse.
              1. What are some examples of irrational thinking that may create the urge to return to previous harmful behavior leading to relapse?

              Part 3: Relapse Response Plan

              In this section, you will create a response plan to use when the client is faced with triggers and urges to lapse into using behavior. Complete the chart below and include coping strategies, client’s skills to redirect thoughts, and immediate actions to take before using substances.

              List three people that the client identifies for a supportive network

              List three new activities the client can use as they shift their focus away from the destructive activities involved in their addiction

              List three actions or coping responses the client will utilize when a potentially negative pattern of behavior or high-risk situation emerges.

                          Part 4: Continued Health and Well-Being

                          1. Describe three community and support resources that are available to the client. Identify how often and the amount of support group meetings the client will participate in (any type of recovery support meeting) to improve health and sobriety. What resources might Jed find for himself and how will we know if they are effective resources?
                          1. Identify at least two strategies the client can do to improve his family relationships and describe how this is important to the success of the relapse prevention plan?
                          1. Describe how the ethnic and cultural aspects of the client may impact the relapse prevention plan?
                          1. Develop with the client an emergency contact sheet that the client may carry with them. Create a contact card with the client to list the people and resources to have available to use prior to a lapse or relapse to use substances. Go to Insert > Tables > and Select Table Size to begin creating the Contact Card.

                          APC industries has been experiencing significant growth and has been having difficulty meeting customer demands recently. They are considering three options to address this issue. They can move to a larger facility, add a second shift or use a subcontractor to assist in production. The annual payoff of each option depends on if the current market continues to expand, hold steady or declines. The expected payoff for each combination is show in the table below

                          Option Expand Steady Decline

                          Move to larger facility 250,000 125,000 -90,000

                          Subcontract 90,000 15,000 -10,000

                          a) Which alternative should APC choose under the maximax criterion? (1 mark)

                          b) Which option should APC choose under the maximin criterion? (1 mark)

                          c) Which option should APC choose under the LaPlace criterion?

                          d) Which option should APC choose with the Hurwicz criterion with α = 0.5?

                          e) Using a minimax regret approach, what alternative should she choose?

                          f) After reading about economic predictions, APC has assigned the probability that the market will be expand , or be steady or be weak at 20%, 50% and 30 %. Using expected monetary values, what option should be chosen and what is that optimal expected value?

                          g) What is the most that the APC should be willing to pay for additional information? Use Expected Regret

                          h) Use the alternative method to verify EVPI (3 marks
