The article "uncertainty estimation in railway track life-cycle cost"† presented the following data on time to repair (min) a rail break in the high rail on a curved track of a certain railway line.

159 120 480 149 270 547 340 43 228 202 240 218

a normal probability plot of the data shows a reasonably linear pattern, so it is plausible that the population distribution of repair time is at least approximately normal. the sample mean and standard deviation are 249.7 and 145.1, respectively.

(a) is there compelling evidence for concluding that true average repair time exceeds 200 min? carry out a test of hypotheses using a significance level of 0.05.
state the appropriate hypotheses.

h0: μ > 200
ha: μ = 200h0: μ = 200
ha: μ < 200 h0: μ = 200
ha: μ > 200h0: μ < 200
ha: μ = 200h0: μ = 200
ha: μ ≠ 200

calculate the test statistic and determine the p-value. (round your test statistic to two decimal places and your p-value to four decimal places.)

t =
p-value =

what can you conclude?

there is compelling evidence that the true average repair time exceeds 200 min. there is not compelling evidence that the true average repair time exceeds 200 min.

(b) using

σ = 150,

what is the type ii error probability of the test used in (a) when true average repair time is actually 300 min? that is, what is β(300)? (round your answer to two decimal places.)
β(300) =

Performance bicycle company makes steel and titanium handle bars for bicycles. it requires approximately 1 hour of labor to make one handle bar of either type. during the most recent accounting period, barr company made 7,700 steel bars and 2,300 titanium bars. setup costs amounted to $35,000. one batch of each type of bar was run each month. if a single company-wide overhead rate based on direct labor hours is used to allocate overhead costs to the two products, the amount of setup cost assigned to the steel bars will be:

1. consider a two-firm industry. firm 1 (the incumbent) chooses a level of output qı. firm 2 (the potential entrant) observes qı and then chooses its level of output q2. the demand for the product is p 100 q, where q is the total output sold by the two firms which equals qi +q2. assume that the marginal cost of each firm is zero. a) find the subgame perfect equilibrium levels of qi and q2 keeping in mind that firm 1 chooses qi first and firm 2 observes qi and chooses its q2. find the profits of the two firms-n1 and t2- in the subgame perfect equilibrium. how do these numbers differ from the cournot equilibrium? b) for what level of qi would firm 2 be deterred from entering? would a rational firm 1 have an incentive to choose this level of qi? which entry condition does this market have: blockaded, deterred, or accommodated? now suppose that firm 2 has to incur a fixed cost of entry, f> 0. c) for what values of f will entry be blockaded? d) find out the entry deterring level of q, denoted by q1', a expression for firm l's profit, when entry is deterred, as a function of f. for what values of f would firm 1 use an entry deterring strategy?
