- If a person lives for 3 years with a disease and the current standard of care for that disease means he/she lives with a utility level of 0.7.-What is the QALY? Answer in not less than 300 wordsA villager estimates that if he picks his orange crop now, he will obtain 2000 boxes ofapples, which he can sell at $5 per box. However, he thinks his crop will increase by 150boxes of apples for each week he delays picking, but that the price will drop at a rate of$0.25 per box per week; in addition, he estimates approximately 30 boxes per week willspoil for each week he delays picking. When should he pick his crop to obtain the largesttotal cash return? How much will he receive for his crop at that time?I need help with 7.2.4 kindly
- Say there are two individuals; Hala and Anna who are deciding on either to buy health insurance on a pooling arrangement basis or otherwise. Both face a 30% probability of losing RM40 on medical services and 70% of losing nothing. With these information discuss whether Hala and Anna should join this arrangement or pay the medical services costs out of their own pocket money.A researcher studying the effects of a new fertilizer on crop yields plansto carry out an experiment in which different amounts of the fertilizerare applied to 100 different 1-acre parcels of land. There will be fourtreatment levels. Treatment level 1 is no fertilizer, treatment level 2 is50% of the manufacturer’s recommended amount of fertilizer, treatmentlevel 3 is 100%, and treatment level 4 is 150%. The researcher plans toapply treatment level 1 to the first 25 parcels of land, treatment level 2to the second 25 parcels, and so forth. Can you suggest a better way toassign treatment levels? Why is your proposal better than the researcher’smethod?A health economist is conducting the analysis and making a choice between the following two choices: Choice A: there is a certain outcome that the patient will stay in chronic health state X for the rest of his life T Choice B: the treatment has two possible outcomes, either the patient is returned to full Health (1) of the rest of his life T with probability p; the patient dies (0) immediately with the remainig probability What is the utilty value of the health state X?

- Wouldn't it be correct to say E=12, not 2E=12 for 12–(2/3)E=(1/3)E?. If you examine the decision tree in Figure 9.12 (orany other decision trees from PrecisionTree), you willsee two numbers (in blue font) to the right of each endnode. The bottom number is the combined monetaryvalue from following the corresponding path throughthe tree. The top number is the probability that thispath will be followed, given that the best strategy isused. With this in mind, explain (1) how the positiveprobabilities following the end nodes are calculated,(2) why some of the probabilities following the endnodes are 0, and (3) why the sum of the probabilitiesfollowing the end nodes is necessarily 1.The owner of a ski resort is considering installing a new ski lift that will cost $900,000. Expenses for operating andmaintaining the lift are estimated to be $1,500 per day when operating. The U.S. Weather Service estimates thatthere is a 60% probability of 80 days of skiing weather per year, a 30% probability of 100 days per year, and a 10% probability of 120 days per year. The operators of the resort estimate that during the first 80 days of adequate snow in a season, an average of 500 people will use the lift each day, at a fee of $10 each. If 20 additional days are available, the lift will be used by only 400 people per day during the extra period; and if 20 more days of skiing are available, only 300 people per day will use the lift during those days. The owners wish to recover any invested capital within five years and want at least a 25% per year rate of return before taxes. Based on a before-tax analysis, should the lift be installed?
- Pisa Pizza, a seller of frozen pizza, is considering introducting a healthier version of its pizza that will be low in cholesterol and contain no trans fats. The firm expects that sales of new pizza will be $20 million per year. While many of these sales will be to new customers, Pisa Pizza estimaes that 40% will come from customers who switch to the new, healthier pizzai nstead of buying the original version. a) Assume cusotmer will spend the same amount on either version. What level of incremental sales is associated with introducing the new pizza? b) Suppose that 50% of hte cusomters who will switch from Pisa Pizza's orignial pizza to its healthier pizza will switch to another brand if Pisa PIzza does not introduce a healthier pizza. What level of incremental sales is associated with introducing the new pizza in this case?When playing roulette at a casino, a gambler is trying to decide whether to bet $10 on the number 30 or to bet $10 that the outcome is any one of the three possibilities 00, 0, or 1. 3 The gambler knows that the expected value of the $10 bet for a single number is - 53¢. For the $10 bet that the outcome is 00, 0, or 1, there is a probability of 38 of making a net profit of $30 and a probability of losing $10. 35 38 a. Find the expected value for the $10 bet that the outcome is 00, 0, or 1. b. Which bet is better: a $10 bet on the number 30 or a $10 bet that the outcome is any one of the numbers 00, 0, or 1? Why? a. The expected value is $. (Round to the nearest cent as needed.) b. Since the expected value of the bet on the number 30 is C than the expected value for the bet that the outcome is 00, 0, or 1, the bet on is better.An individual has 40,000 in income per year.
