Step-by-step explanation:

∑⁴ₙ₌₁ -144 (½)ⁿ⁻¹

This represents a finite geometric series where n equals 4, a₁ is -144, and r is ½.

S = a₁ (1 − rⁿ) / (1 − r)

S = -144 (1 − (½)⁴) / (1 − ½)

S = -270

If you wish to calculate the infinite sum (n = ∞):

S = a₁ / (1 − r)

S = -144 / (1 − ½)

S = -288

Suppose we are interested in bidding on a piece of land and we know one other bidder is interested. The seller announced that th
Zina [12379]

Answer:

Step-by-step reasoning:

(a)

To have an accepted bid, it needs to exceed $10,000. Let bid x be a continuous random variable uniformly distributed between

$10,000 and $15,000

The range for accepted bidding is [ {\rm{\$ 10,000, \$ 15,000}], with b = $15000 and a = $10000.

The provided bidding range is [$10,000,$12,000]. The probability is determined as follows,

\begin{array}{c}\\P\left( {X{\rm{ < 12,000}}} \right){\rm{ = }}1 - P\left( {X > 12000} \right)\\\\ = 1 - \int\limits_{12000}^{15000} {\frac{1}{{15000 - 10000}}} dx\\\\ = 1 - \int\limits_{12000}^{15000} {\frac{1}{{5000}}} dx\\\\ = 1 - \frac{1}{{5000}}\left[ x \right]_{12000}^{15000}\\\end{array}

=1- \frac{[15000-12000]}{5000}\\\\=1-0.6\\\\=0.4

(b)  The accepted bidding range is [$10,000,$15,000], where b = $15,000 and a =$10,000. The given bidding range is [$10,000,$14,000].

\begin{array}{c}\\P\left( {X{\rm{ < 14,000}}} \right){\rm{ = }}1 - P\left( {X > 14000} \right)\\\\ = 1 - \int\limits_{14000}^{15000} {\frac{1}{{15000 - 10000}}} dx\\\\ = 1 - \int\limits_{14000}^{15000} {\frac{1}{{5000}}} dx\\\\ = 1 - \frac{1}{{5000}}\left[ x \right]_{14000}^{15000}\\\end{array} P(X14000)

=1- \frac{[15000-14000]}{5000}\\\\=1-0.2\\\\=0.8

(c)

The optimal amount to bid for maximizing the probability of acquiring the property is calculated as,  

The accepted bidding range is [$10,000,$15,000],

where b = $15,000 and a = $10,000. The provided bidding range is [$10,000,$15,000].

\begin{array}{c}\\f\left( {X = {\rm{15,000}}} \right){\rm{ = }}\frac{{{\rm{15000}} - {\rm{10000}}}}{{{\rm{15000}} - {\rm{10000}}}}\\\\{\rm{ = }}\frac{{{\rm{5000}}}}{{{\rm{5000}}}}\\\\{\rm{ = 1}}\\\end{array}

(d)  If you know someone willing to pay you $16,000 for the property, would you still consider bidding less than the amount mentioned in part (c)? Why or why not?
