Happy Clown Carnival Company is scheduled to appear in a city on a particular Saturday. The profits that will be obtained depend heavily upon the weather. If the weather is rainy, the carnival loses $15,000; if it is not rainy, the carnival makes a profit of $5,000. Historically, the probability of rain on any given day is 10%.

The carnival has to set up equipment for its show, but it can cancel the show prior to setting up its equipment. Cancelling the show results in a loss of $1,000, regardless of the weather. However, for an additional $250 cost, the carnival can postpone its setup decision until the Friday before the scheduled performance. At that time, the carnival can obtain the local weather forecast for Saturday’s weather.

The Weather Bureau has compiled data on its past forecasts. When it was rainy, the Weather Bureau had predicted rain 74% of the time. When it was not rainy, the Weather Bureau had predicted no rain 86% of the time.

(a) Set up the decision tree and determine the decision (SETUP or CANCEL) that maximizes the expected profit without waiting for a weather forecast on the blank page provided. Leave enough space to add to this tree in part (d).(15 pts for correct tree, 12 pts for decision and backup calculations.)

(b) Determine the Expected Value of Perfect Information (EVPI) for the situation depicted in your decision tree from (a).(7 pts.)

(c) Append to your decision tree in (a) a decision tree diagram that includes waiting for the results of the weather forecast. Be sure to clearly label the branches and nodes. (15 pts.)

(d) Determine the two posterior probability distributions for Saturday’s actual weather given the weather forecasts on Friday and put your results in the appropriate places on your tree in (c). (Hint: Bayes. ). (15 pts.)

(e) . Calculate the Expected Values at each appropriate node for the part of the tree diagram you added in (c). (30 pts.)

(f) Based on your results in (e), what is your optimal decision strategy? (5 pts.)

(g) Calculate the Expected Value of Sample Information (EVSI) and the efficiency of sample information for this situation. Also calculate the Expected Net Gain of Sample Information. (ENGSI is the amount you expect to gain from the sample information after accounting for what it cost you to get that information.) (5 pts.) Use this page for your decision tree. Please write clearly enough so I can tell what your answers are.

A random sample of soil specimens was taken from a large geographic area. The specimens can be assumed to be independent. The amount of organic matter, as a percent, was determined for each specimen. The data are below:
0.14, 0.32, 1.17, 1.45, 3.5, 5.02, 5.09, 5.22
A soil scientist wants to know whether the population mean percent organic matter is different than 4%. A
significance level of α = 0.05 is chosen.

    1. (a)  State hypotheses appropriate to the research question.
    2. (b)  Graph the data as you see fit. Why did you choose the graph(s) that you did and what does it (do they) tell you?
    3. (c)  Regardless of your conclusion from (b), use the bootstrap to perform a test of the hypotheses you stated in (a). Use B = 8000 resamplings. Compute the p-value, and make a reject or not reject conclusion. Then state the conclusion in the context of the problem. In other words, does it seem the mean organic matter level is different than 4%?
    4. (d)  Regardless of your conclusion from part (b), use a T -test to perform a test of the hypotheses you stated in (a). Compute the p-value, and make a reject or not reject conclusion. Then state the conclusion in the context of the problem. In other words, does it seem the mean organic matter level is different than 4%?. (I recommend doing this part with a hand calculator and statistical tables as practice for exam conditions, but you may check your answers using R if you wish.)
    5. (e)  Compare your answers from parts (c) and (d). Which method do you think is better? Are you surprised at the similarity or dissimilarity? What do you think explains this?

Construct a payoff matrix using Excel. Excel must show the formulas to calculate the payoff amounts using the MIN and MAX functions. The matrix should be   and have 121 payoff amounts. HINT: The number sold to customers paying $3.95 is the minimum of (1) the quantity ordered and (2) the demand. The number sold to the pet-food manufacturer is the maximum of (1) the quantity ordered minus the demand and (2) zero. The Fish House (TFH) in Norfolk, Virginia, sells fresh fish and seafood. TFH receives daily shipments of farm-raised trout from a nearby supplier. Each trout costs $2.45 and is sold for $3.95. To maintain its reputation for freshness, at the end of the day TFH sells any leftover trout to a local pet food manufacturer for $1.25 each. The owner of TFH wants to determine how many trout to order each day. Historically, the daily demand for trout is summarized in the table below.

DEMAND 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

Probabilities 0.02 0.06 0.09 0.11 0.13 0.15 0.18 0.11 0.07 0.05 0.03

I am having trouble constructing the formulas in Excel. Please be aware that there are solutions in Chegg, but not for the formulas needed in Excel. I know whw to write the formulas in Excel to get them.
