a) (6 points) Based on a 4% failure rate and 104 units shipped, calculate the probability that the seller receives fewer than 100 sellable ice creams using our current production machines and shipping equipment. Show your work by writing down the functions that you use to calculate the result. Compare this to the result in 1a. b) (4 points) What is the probability that exactly 101 units are good and 3 units are unsellable? How does this probability compare to the result in problem 1b? c) (2 points) Calculate the expected losses per shipment using the information in 1a. d) (2 points) Using 1c, calculate the percentage change in marginal cost. e) (2 points) Based on this information, do you agree with Ah Choo? Can we continue to protect our brand image and make money without making any changes in the way we handle shipments? Use numbers in your explanation. According to you, what is the "Cold Hard Logic" (the truth) that we need to confront to keep our ice cream company profitable? I'll accept any answer as long as you can justify your reasoning! (optional) How many units should we ship in order to have approximately the same rate of failing to ship 100 good ice creams as in Problem 1? What is the change in marginal cost, and how does this compare to the difference in sales tax between Whatcom County and Los Angeles (8.0% vs 9.5%)? This calculation is not something you need to do: I wrote this to demonstrate an actual business solution to a decline in manufacturing quality or expected yield
