Question

The daily demand for tuna sandwiches at the cafeteria vending machine is either 8, 9, 10, or 11, with probabilities 0.4, 0.3, 0.1, and 0.2. Assume the following random numbers have been generated: 96, 59, 35, 32,26, 20, 97, 32, 18, and 6.

(Note: Assume the random number interval begins at 01 and ends at 00.)

A ) Based on the given probability distribution, the sandwich sales for the given random numbers are:______________________ (round all responses to the nearest whole number):

The daily demand for tuna sandwiches at an Ohio University cafeteria vending machine is either 8, 9, 10, or 11, with probabilities 0.4, 0.3, 0.1, and 0.2, respectively. Assume the following random numbers have been generated: 96, 69, 35, 32, 26, 20, 97, 32, 18, and 6. (Note: Assume the random number interval begins at 01 and ends at 00.) Based on the given probabilty distribution, the sandwich sales for the given random number are (round all responses to the nearest whole number):

Explanation / Answer

Solution

Sales for 32 is 11 sandwiches (as probability is 0.2)

And for other random numbers sales is 10 sandwiches (with prob = 0.1)

Random number Probability 96 0.1 59 0.1 35 0.1 32 0.2 26 0.1 20 0.1 97 0.1 18 0.1 6 0.1
