Problem 11

A store specializing in mountain bikes is to open in one of two malls. If the first mall is selected, the store anticipates a yearly profit of \(\$ 300,000\) if successful and a yearly loss of \(\$ 100,000\) otherwise. The probability of success is \(\frac{1}{2}\). If the second mall is selected, it is estimated that the yearly profit will be \(\$ 200,000\) if successful; otherwise, the annual loss will be \(\$ 60,000\). The probability of success at the second mall is \(\frac{3}{4}\). Which mall should be chosen in order to maximize the expected profit?

Problem 12

An oil company is considering two sites on which to drill, described as follows: Site A: Profit if oil is found: \(\$ 80\) million Loss if no oil is found: \(\$ 10\) million Probability of finding oil: \(0.2\) Site B: Profit if oil is found: \(\$ 120\) million Loss if no oil is found: \(\$ 18\) million Probability of finding oil: \(0.1\) Which site has the larger expected profit? By how much?
