1. Explain the difference between quantitative and qualitative analysis from the manager's point of view.
2. Explain the difference between mutually exclusive and independent events. Can a pair of events be both mutually exclusive and independent?
3. Explain the transformation from any normal distribution to the standard normal.
4. A video rental store has two video cameras available for customers to rent. Historically, demand for cameras has followed this distribution. The revenue per rental is $40. If a customer wants a camera and none is available, the store gives a $15 coupon for tape rental.
