Uniform Probability Distribution
Suppose we are interested in bidding on a piece of land and we know one other bidder is interested. The seller announced that the highest bid in excess of $9,600 will be accepted. Assume that the competitor's bid x is a random variable that is uniformly distributed between $9,600 and $15,300.
Suppose that you know someone is willing to pay you $16,000 for the property. You are considering bidding the amount shown in part (c) but a friend suggests you bid $12,800. If your objective is to maximize the expected profit, what is your bid? Stay with your bid in part ©; it maximizes expected profit Bid $12,800 to maximize the expected profit What is the expected profit for this bid (in dollars)? |

*** guys, I really need an answer to this question, A.S.A.P.What type of probability distribution has equal values each for it's mean, median and mode.I just need a straight forward answer-the 'name' of the distribution.That's all.
Consider the radial probability distributions of the orbitals (ie. 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p,. ) of a hydrogen atom (with one electron). Suppose the hydrogen atom receives an extra electron and become a negative hydrogen ion with 2 electrons. (I) Will the radial probability distributions of...
