Each quarter the marketing manager of a retail store divides customers into two classes based on their purchase behavior in the previous quarter. Denote the classes as L for low and H for high. The manager wishes to determine to which classes of customers he should send quarterly catalogs. The cost of sending a catalog is $15 per customer and the expected purchase depends on the customer’s class and the manager’s action. If a customer is in class L and receives a catalog, then the expected purchase in the current quarter is $20, and if a class L customer does not receive a catalog his expected purchase is $10. If a customer is in class H and receives a catalog, then his expected purchase is $50, and if a class H customer does not receive a catalog his expected purchase is $25. The decision whether or not to send a catalog to a customer also affects the customer's classification in the subsequent quarter. If a customer is class L at the start of the present quarter, then the probability he is in class L at the subsequent quarter is 0.3 if he receives a catalog and 0.5 if he does not. If a customer is class H in the current period, then the probability that he remains in class H in the subsequent period is 0.8 if he receives a catalog and 0.4 if he does not. Assume a discount rate of 0.9 and an objective of maximizing expected total discounted reward.
a) Formulate this as an infinite-horizon discounted Markov decision problem.
b) For ???? = 0.1, find a near-optimal policy using value iteration.
c) Find an optimal policy using policy iteration starting with the stationary policy which has greatest one-step reward.
d) Formulate the problem as a linear program, giving its primal and dual. Solve both and interpret the solutions.

Answer:

A]  37 / 3 = 12 1/3 ; B] 37 / 12 = 3 1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let small popcorn bag hold = p units popcorn. So, large popcorn bag hold 4 times ie 4p units popcorn.

Left popcorn = 3 1/3 ie 10 / 3 small bags , & 2 1/4 ie 9 / 4 large bags.  

So, total popcorn left = Sum( No. of popcorn in each bag x no of bags) =        [ 10 p / 3 ] +  [ (9 x 4) p / 4 ] = 10p / 3 + 9p  = (10p + 27p) / 3 = 37p / 3

A] Small bags for left popcorn = Total left popcorn / Per small bag popcorn  = ( 37p / 3 ) / (p)  = 37 / 3 = 12 1/3

B] Large bags for left popcorn = Total left popcorn / Per large bag popcorn   =  ( 37p / 3 ) / (4p) = 37 / 12 = 3 1/12

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of top and bottom bases is twice the midsegment.

  (c² +6) +(c² +2) = 2(4c)

  2c² -8c +8 = 0 . . . . . . . . . subtract 8c

  2(c -2)² = 0 . . . . . . . . factor

  c = 2 . . . . . . the value that makes the binomial be zero

The value of c is 2; the segment lengths (top-down) are 10, 8, 6.

We have 12 pens in total

P(first three pens are blue with replacement) = 3/12 * 3/12 * 3/12 =

(1/4) * (1/4) * (1/4) =

1/ 64

The required probability  that the first three students all randomly select a pen with blue ink is 1/64. option C is correct.

Given that,
A cup on the teacher's desk contains 12 pens. There are 3 pens with blue ink and 9 pens with black ink. One student at a time selects a pen at random to sign the attendance sheet and then puts the pen back in the cup.

Probability can be defined as the ratio of favorable outcomes to the total number of events.

Here,
Total number of sample = 12
Favorable outcome = 3
Required probability  that the first three students all randomly select a pen with blue ink = 3 / 12 × 3 / 12 × 3 / 12
                             = 1 / 64

Thus, the required probability  that the first three students all randomly select a pen with blue ink is 1/64. option C is correct.

Answer:

A) 1.84

Step-by-step explanation:

I just took the quiz

The standard error of the sampling size is 121 is 1.84

"a measure of the statistical accuracy of an estimate, equal to the standard deviation of the theoretical distribution of a large population of such estimates."

"In the standard error formula, the factor sqrt[ (N - n ) / (N - 1) ] is called the finite population correction or fpc. When the population size is very large relative to the sample size, the fpc is approximately equal to one; and the standard error formula can be approximated by:

σx = σ / sqrt(n)."

Given,

Standard deviation of the sample is 20.2

and sample size is = 121

Standard error is = [tex]\sigma/\sqrt(n)[/tex]

i.e. standard error = [tex]20.2/\sqrt(121)[/tex] = 20.2/ 11 = 1.84

Hence, option A is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two rectangles having the same area do not need to have the same length and width. The length and width of the rectangle are just factor pairs of the number that is the area. For example, if the area was 12, the side lengths would be 1 and 12, 2 and 6, or 3 and 4. As you can see, those aren't the same lengths and widths. A rectangle may be 1x12 and another may be 3x4, but they have the same area.

sin is only positive in 1st and 2nd quadrants

Step-by-step explanation:

As you may know, sine is defined as y-term or value in (x, y). You can go see a unit circle.

Remember that sine is y while cosine is x.

Since sine is y, It'd be a horizontal line. And since it's a horizontal line, it intersects two points in a unit circle.

Q1 and Q2 both are positive while Q3 and Q4 are negative.

Answer:

1 solution (2, 0 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

x + y = 2 → (1)

2x + y = 4 → (2)

Subtract (1) from (2) term by term to eliminate y

2x - x + y - y = 4 - 2 , that is

x + 0 = 2

x = 2

Substitute x = 2 into either of the 2 equations and evaluate for y

Substituting into (1)

2 + y = 2 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

y = 0

one solution is (2, 0 )

The volume of a sphere with a diameter of 6.2 in is 39.72π

The volume of a sphere is defined as the total amount of capacity applied in a sphere that can be calculated using the volume formula for the sphere which is V = (4/3)πr3.

The radius of the sphere is;

[tex]\rm Radius =\dfrac{Diameter}{2}\\\\Radius=\dfrac{6.2}{2}\\\\Radius=3.1[/tex]

The volume of the sphere is;

[tex]\rm Volume =\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3\\\\Volume =\dfrac{4}{3}\pi (3.1)^3\\\\Volume = 39.72\pi[/tex]

Hence, the volume of a sphere with a diameter of 6.2 in is 39.72π.

Answer:

A) P(chooses a blue pencil and then a red pencil) = 5/27

B) P(chooses yellow then blue) = 5/81

Step-by-step explanation:

She has 3 red pencils, 5 blue pencils, and 1 yellow pencil in her backpack

Thus;

total number of pencils = 3 + 5 + 1 = 9 pencils

A) probability that she chooses a blue pencil and then a red pencil;

P(blue) = 5/9

Now she puts it bag after choosing which means the sum is back to 8 pencils.

Thus, if she now chooses a red pencil, then P(red) = 3/9 = 1/3

Thus;

P(chooses a blue pencil and then a red pencil) = 5/9 × 1/3

P(chooses a blue pencil and then a red pencil) = 5/27

B) probability that Chloe chooses the yellow pencil and then a blue pencil;

Similar to A above;

P(yellow) = 1/9

P(blue) = 5/9

P(chooses yellow then blue) = 1/9 × 5/9

P(chooses yellow then blue) = 5/81
