Solution :-
Given data :
A hot dog sells for $15 each but only costs $5 each to make.
A leftover hot dog has a value of $1 for each hot dog.
demand and probabilities are
1. = 100 hot dogs with
probability P(
) = 3/10,
2. = 110 hot dogs with
probability P(
) = 2/10,
3. = 120 hot dogs with
probability P(
) = 2/10,
4. = 130 hot dogs with
probability P(
) = 1/10,
5. = 140 hot dogs with
probability P(
) = 2/10.
( a ) :-
Here we need to calculate the expected demand.
i.e, E[X].
Expected
demand,
( b ) :-
Here we need to calculate the expected profit, If 120 hot dogs are prepared.
When a hot dog sold, will earn a profit of ( $15 - $5 ) = $10
When a hot dog unsold, will be a loss of ( $5 - $1 ) = $4
The demand is more that too will be a potential loss, If the hot dogs are finished and this will be a loss of potential profit of $10.
If the 120 hot dogs are prepared then, the profit will be also have the probability distribution according to the distribution of demand.
Consider the demand is 100 , then 20 hot dogs will be left.
and the profit = (100*10)-(20*4)
profit = 1000-80
profit = 920
Consider the demand is 110 , then 10 hot dogs will be left.
and the profit = (110*10)-(10*4)
profit = 1100-40
profit = 1060
Then the expected profit becomes as
Expected profit =
Expected profit =
Expected profit =
Expected profit = $1088
Expected
profit = $1088
( c ) :-
Here we need to calculate the corresponding expected (potential) cost.
Here we know the formula,
Expected (potential) cost = Expected demand * Cost
Expected (potential) cost = 117 * $5
Expected (potential) cost = $585
Expected
(potential) cost = $585

1. Suppose we are selling hot dogs during a basketball game. A hot dog sells for $15 each but only costs $5 each to make. If we run out of hot dogs during the game, it will be impossible to get more. On the other hand, a leftover hot dog has a value of $1 for each hot dog. Assume that we believe the fans would buy 100 hot dogs with probability 3/10, 110 hot dogs with probability 2/10, 120...

The concession stand at a school basketball tournament sells hot dogs, hamburgers, and chicken sandwiches. During one game, the stand sold 16 hot dogs, 14 hamburgers, and 8 chicken sandwiches for a total of $105.00. During a second game, the stand sold 10 hot dogs, 13 hamburgers, and 5 chicken sandwiches for a total of $76.25. During a third game, the stand sold 4 hot dogs, 7 hamburgers, and 7 chicken sandwiches for a total of $56.25. Determine the price...
2. Hot dog sales during day games at the baseball stadium and the high temperatures during the games are approximately linearly related. Suppose the average high temperature at day games is 80 (degrees Farenheit) with a standard deviation of 10, and that average hot dog sales are 30 (thousands of dogs) with a standard deviation of 5. The correlation between temperature and sales is -0.25. a) Suppose the high temperature at a particular day game is 80 degrees. How many...
There are many different types of hot dogs produced in the U.S. The data to the right represents the published mean calorie contents of the various brands that produce beef hot dogs and the mean calorie contents of various brands that produce poultry hot dogs. (Treat these as samples.) Compute the mean calorie content for each type of hot dog. (beef and poultry) Beef Poultry X Y 186 129 181 132 176 102 149 106 184 94 190 102 158...

2. Not all hotdogs have the same calories. Table 31.6 contains calorie data on a random sample of Beef, Poultry, and Veggie dogs. (One extreme outlier for Veggie dogs was omitted from the data.) Does the mean calorie count differ depending on the type of hotdog? You first encountered this topic in Boxplots.

We were unable to transcribe this imageNow, assume that one of the hot dog stands successfully lobbies the city council to obtain the exclusive right to sell hot dogs within the city limits. This firm buys up all the rest of the hot dog stands in the city and operates as a monopoly. Assume that this change doesn't affect demand and that the new monopoly's marginal cost curve corresponds exactly to the supply curve on the previous graph. Under this...
1.)A vendor prepares 100.00 hotdogs every day and sells at $18.00 /piece. For each hot dog, he spends $12.00 in the raw material. Additionally he spends $1.81 for packing each hotdog and monthly $46.00, $21.00, $12.00 as food truck rent, electricity and other expenses respectively. Lost sales are charged at $6.00 per lost sale. Leftover hotdogs can be sold for $3. On a particular day in June 111.00 people came wanting to buy a hotdog. Determine the vendor’s profit for...
1. David is a street vendor who sells hot dogs in the city and would like to develop a regression model to help him predict the daily demand for his product in order to improve inventory control. David believes that the three main factors affecting hot dog demand for a particular day are his price per hot dog, the high temperature during business hours that day, and whether the day falls on a weekday or weekend (many of David’s customers...
2-6% each part Suppose we have opened a catfish hot dog stand at the mall which will be open 4 hours per day. We are test marketing our sales at various prices to attempt to determine the best price we should use for our catfish hot dogs. So, let: Price of the Number of y hot dogs $1.50 $3.00 $4.00 hot dogs sold 182 118 39 Notice that we have put these variables in the same order that we did...
