1. An insurance company offers a discount to home- owners who install smoke detectors in their homes. A company representative claims that 80% or more of policyholders have smoke detectors. You draw a random sample of eight policyholders. Let X be the number of policyholders in the sample who have smoke detectors.
a. If exactly 80% of the policyholders have smoke detectors (so the representative's claim is true, but just barely), what is P(X ≤ 1)?
b. Based on the answer to part (a), if 80% of the policyholders have smoke detectors, would one policyholder with a smoke detector in a sample of size 8 be an unusually small number?
c. If you found that exactly one of the eight sample policyholders had a smoke detector, would this be convincing evidence that the claim is false? Explain.
d. If exactly 80% of the policyholders have smoke detectors, what is P(X ≤ 6)?
e. Based on the answer to part (d), if 80% of the policyholders have smoke detectors, would six pol- icyholders with smoke detectors in a sample of size 8 be an unusually small number?
f. If you found that exactly six of the eight sample policyholders had smoke detectors, would this be convincing evidence that the claim is false? Explain.

At what discount rate would be indifferent between accepting
: A project that provides annual cash flows of $15,400 for nine years costs $67,000 today. Is this a good project if the required return is 8%? What if it's 20%? At what discount rate would be indifferent between accepting the project and rejecting it?
