determine whether the purchase of another copy machine is necessary. They have the following information: • Time between breakdowns is 1- 6 weeks with probability of a breakdown increasing the longer the copier went without a breakdown • repair time probabilities Table 1: Probability of the days to repair copier Repair Time (days) Probability 1 0.20 2 0.45 3 0.25 4 0.10 • Loss of revenue during repair of the copier: approx. 2000 – 8000 copies/day at $0.10/copy Again, if revenue lost/year…

Chapter 4 Introduction to Probability -in the SR (short-run) events may be viewed as unpredictable, but in the LR (long-run) patterns tend to emerge and we can view a predictable pattern. This is what probability attempts to capture. A. Probability in General 1. Probability – a numerical measure of the likelihood that an event will occur. It is obtained by measuring a very large number of outcomes. Notation: P ( event ) = Properties: (a) Takes on a value from 0 to 1( 0 means it cannot…

Using those data I will find out mean, standard deviation and some probability for analysis. In addition, these is a case involves an offer was given to Corvette by HSBC for estimating whether it is risk or not. Furthermore, we also thought about what role banks plays in the case, and analyzed the bank itself. Banks expected profit is also mentioned. Finally I used the data about my birthday graphed the two models. Introduction: Reading through the whole report, you can…
products. To incorporate both variability and regularity of the system into mathematical formulation, we analyze probabilistic distribution of the demand, explore its connection with the corresponding Markov chains, and integrate these into our decision making. In particular, we formulate the Markov decision model by identifying the chain’s state space and the transition probabilities, specify the cost structure and evaluate its individual component; and then use the policy-improvement algorithm to obtain…
Chapter 4 Probability and Probability Distributions Classical Interpretation (Way 1) This interpretation of probability arose from games of chance. Common sense and theory tell us that: - The probability of a HEADS from a fair coin is ½ - The probability of an ACE is 4/52 or 1/13 1 - The probability of a SEVEN on two dice is 6/36 or 1/6 First die: Second die: 1 2 3 4 5 6 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 3 4 5 6 4 5 6 7 5 6 7 8 6 7 8 9 7 8 9 10 8 9 10 11…
