Suppose that you are the manager of JCPenney store. Your goal is to increase and control the rate at which store cashiers can successfully sign customers up for JCPenney credit cards. To this end, for each of the eight store cashiers, you observed 50 interactions where the cashier made an attempt to sign a customer up for credit card. The data showed that there was a total of 16 cases in which the cashiers could successfully sign the customer up for a credit card. Now, if you do not want the lower limit to be below .0052, what z-value would this imply? How confident can you be that the actual lower limit is greater than or equal to .0052?

- The game of Chuck-a-Luck is played as follows: You pick a number between 1 and 6 and toss three dice. If your number does not appear, you lose 1. If your number appears x times, you win x. On the average, use simulation to find the average amount of money you will win or lose on each play of the game.arrow_forwardYou now have 5000. You will toss a fair coin four times. Before each toss you can bet any amount of your money (including none) on the outcome of the toss. If heads comes up, you win the amount you bet. If tails comes up, you lose the amount you bet. Your goal is to reach 15,000. It turns out that you can maximize your chance of reaching 15,000 by betting either the money you have on hand or 15,000 minus the money you have on hand, whichever is smaller. Use simulation to estimate the probability that you will reach your goal with this betting strategy.arrow_forward17- According to a business plan for a startup, the break-even point was calculated at 12,000 units of sales.

- Problem Solving. The JSM company has been approached by an individual who has an idea for a new product. He wants to sell this idea for P32, 000. If the idea is purchased, the product must be developed. The company can develop the product at a cost of P64,000, and there is a 50% chance that they can develop the product. TMJ INDUSTRY has offered to develop the product. It will also cost P65,000, but they are only 40% certain that they can develop the product. No charge will be levied unless the job is successful. If the product is developed, it must be advertised. There are two plans for the advertisement. Plan A which costs P55,000 with 75% chances of success and Plan B which cost P38,000 with a 50% probability of success. The management believes that if the product is a success, the return will be P50 million. a) Should JSM purchase the idea?b.) who should develop the product?c.) which plan of advertisement should be adopted?arrow_forwardFind the formula for g in terms of f. g(x) = -12 12 2.0 12 2.0 2.0 12 12 2.0 -12 Find the formula for g in terms of f. g(x) = -12arrow_forwardSuppose that specification for a production part diameter is 6.00 + 0.02 inches.
