Suppose that in a particular month the consultant’s data usage turned out to be 24GB. Let PFS be the amount, in $, she will have to pay for this data usage under the old plan and PSS be the amount, in $, she will have to pay for this data usage under the new plan. What is the value of the difference PSS – PFS?

Suppose that we set-up a simulation with n=5 simulation runs and used a different random seed to generate another 5 random instances of our consultant family’s data usage, in GB: 14.0, 21.7, 26.1, 22.1, 28.6. Calculate the corresponding 5 values of the monthly payments under the old plan. What is the sample standard deviation, in $, of these payment values?

John Datum is another customer of the same wireless company. Just like our consultant, John is trying to compare the old plan and the new plan. Having looked at his past monthly data usage values, John, unlike our consultant, has decided to use a simple scenario approach to model his future data usage. In particular, John estimates that his monthly data usage Ū (in GB) can take one of three values, Ū1 = 15, Ū2 = 21 and Ū3 = 24, each value being equally likely (i.e., each having a probability of 1/3 associated with it). What is the expected value of John’s monthly payments, in $, under the old plan?

Suppose that, in evaluating the old and the new data plan for our consultant, we set-up a simulation with n=5 simulation runs and use Excel to generate the following random instances of her data usage, in GB: 14.6, 27.4, 19.6, 30.8 and 25.6. Calculate the corresponding 5 values of the monthly payments under the old plan. What is the sample mean, in $, of these payment values? Choose the closest answer from the choices below.
