Remark: parts of this question ask for an Excel solution. Please create a single Excel file with separate tabs for each part of the question and upload it with your answers.After resigning from his former job in Hollywood, Tom C is considering opening a new pizza restaurant, named “Mission Impizzable”. In preparation for the grand opening of Mission Impizzable, Tom decides to conduct some simulation analysis.   a) Market research indicates that the check ($$ spent) for a party of dine-in customers is distributed according to the Normal distribution with a mean of 250 and a standard deviation of 100. There are 5 tables in the restaurant, and there is one party per table per night, so there are exactly five dine-in parties per night.  Use Monte-Carlo simulation with at least 500 iterations to calculate the probability that the restaurant’s total revenue per night exceeds $1200.  Include your Excel file with calculations and answer the stated question. (4pts)   b) Market research further indicates that 85% of the customers use a credit card to pay their check. The credit card fee is 4%. Use Monte-Carlo simulation to calculate the average dollar amount collected by credit card companies (i.e., total credit card fees) in one night. You can assume that the average check ($$ spent) is the same as in part a). Include your Excel file with calculations and answer the stated question. (4pts) c) The restaurant opens at 6:00 pm. Market research suggests that the time (in minutes) between the opening of the restaurant, and the arrival of the first party of customers is distributed uniformly between 0 and 10 minutes.  This means, the first party will arrive sometime between 6:00 pm and 6:10 pm. Similarly, the time (in minutes) between the arrivals of the first and the second party also follows uniform distribution between 0 and 10.  The same is true for the times between the arrivals of any two subsequent parties. Given that there are 5 tables in the restaurant, how long will it take, on average, between the time when the restaurant opens and until all tables are fully occupied? Answer this question without using simulation. You can assume that once a table is occupied it remains occupied until the restaurant closes.  (3pts) d) Given the information in c), what is the probability that all the tables are occupied in less than 30 minutes after the restaurant opens? Use Monte-Carlo simulation with at least 500 iterations to answer this question. Include your Excel file with calculations and answer the stated question. (3pts)  

A female victim in a prior prosecution brings a civil action against the defendant to recover damages for sexual assault. The counsel for the female plaintiff calls a former girlfriend of the defendant who testifies that the defendant sexually assaulted and raped her on a previous occasion. This jurisdiction follows the Federal Rules of Evidence. The defendant’s counsel objects.How should the judge rule?

Chromosome duplication occurs before both mitosis and meiosis beginning during a phase called interphase.

In an assault case the defendant’s counsel calls a witness who testifies that the defendant has a reputation in the community as a peaceable person. The prosecutor on cross-examination then asks the witness if she knows the accused has been twice convicted of aggravated assault. The defense counsel objects. How is a judge likely to rule concerning the admissibility of the evidence? The objection of defense counsel will be sustained because only evidence relating to opinion or reputation is admissible to test the credibility of the witness. The objection of defense counsel will be sustained because it is inadmissible character evidence. The objection will be denied because the prosecution is permitted to ask questions relating to prior specific acts on cross examination. The objection will be denied because the prosecution’s question concerns the credibility of the witness. Select the answer from the options below:

In an action for personal injuries the plaintiff claims she sustained at an intersection, the plaintiff testifies that she came to a complete stop before proceeding through the intersection. On cross-examination, the defendant seeks to impeach the plaintiff through the plaintiff’s deposition testimony. At trial the defendant asked the witness “At your deposition you were asked if you came to a complete stop.” And you answered “almost.” Counsel for the plaintiff objected. Will a court sustain the plaintiff’s objection? Yes. The testimony is a violation of the Best Evidence Rule. Yes. The defendant is trying to prove the contents of the deposition. No. The defendant is not trying to prove the contents of the deposition. No. This is not a proper form of impeachment. Select an answer from the following options:

In a theft case the defendant’s counsel calls a witness to testify that the defendant’s reputation in the community is that of an honest person. The prosecution then calls a witness who testifies that in his opinion the defendant is a violent person and that the defendant has a reputation in the community for violence. The defense counsel objects.How is a judge likely to rule concerning the admissibility of the Evidence?

Paula contacted Debbie of Debbie’s catering to discuss catering for Paula’s Christmas party. Debbie said she was available on the day Paula had chosen. Paula asked about what the catering would cost. Debbie said she needed to know how many people would attend and what foods Paula wanted to serve. Paula said she expected 20 guests. Paula told Debbie she wanted Swedish meatballs in cream gravy, mini-croque monsieur sandwiches, a big gourmet chacuterie board, shrimp cocktails, sausage stuffed mushrooms, goose liver pate with baguettes, hot wassail, hot chocolate, and a huge trifle desert. Paula estimated she could do all of that for 20 guests for $2,000, payable in advance. A few days later Debbie called Paula and let her know the written contract was ready for her signature. Debbie came over to Paula’s house and showed her the written contract. It was 20 pages long and had already been signed by Paula. Paula signed the contract without reading it and wrote a $2,000 check made out to Debbie and gave it to her. Debbie said she would make a copy of the contract for Paula and bring it to the party {which was in three days). After signing, Paula asked “can I keep the leftovers? I forgot to ask about that.” Debbie said “sure, you can keep the leftovers if there are any.” The day of the party Debbie showed up with her team and a van full of food. But not everything was as Paula had planned. There were Swedish meatballs, but they were in BBQ sauce. The sandwiches were just ham and cheese. The chacuterie board was just bologna, salami, and three kinds of ordinary cheese. The pate was pork liver sandwich spread with dinner rolls. There was apple juice and a pumpkin pie. The rest was missing altogether. Paula said she was disappointed. Debbie handed her a copy of the contract and a bill for $300. The contract said, “This is the complete agreement of the parties and is intended to be a fully integrated contract.” It also said, “It may be necessary to make substitutions for items that have been requested.” And, the contract also said, “Buyer will be responsible for any const overruns beyond the initial estimate.”  Last, the contract said “because of health concerns leftovers must be carried away for disposal.” Debbie did in fact carry off about 20% of the food as it had not been eaten by the end of the party. Paula went to two other caterers and asked them about what happened. They agreed the spread Debbie provided could have been had for $500. They did say it was industry custom not to leave leftovers, but they sometimes looked the other way if a customer was trying to keep them. Paula comes to your law office wanting to sue Debbie. She asks what damages she might be able to get for breach of contract and if there are any problems with her case. What would you tell Paula? Do not discuss torts. You may use IRAC, You do not need to address each food separately.
