Gifts By Mail Order

do this for me ……………..?
You are the marketing director for a museum that raises money by selling gift items from a mail-order catalog. For each catalog sent to a potential customer, the customer’s entry in the data file is Y if they ordered something and N if they did not (Y = yes, N = no). After you have mailed the fall and the winter catalogs, you estimate the probabilities of the buying patterns based on those who received the catalog as follows:
Outcome(fall, winter): YY, YN, NY, NN
Probability: 0.30, 0.10, 0.05, 0.55
a. Let F denote buying from the fall catalog and W denote buying from the winter catalog. Find P(F) and P(W).
b. Explain what the event “F and W” means, and find P(F and W).
c. Are F and W independent events? Explain why you would not normally expect customer choices to be independent.
P(F) = P(YY) + P(YN) = 0.40
P(W) = P(YY) + P(NY) = 0.35
F is the event the person buys in the fall without regard to they winder buying. Likewise with W for the winter.
P(F and W) = P(YY) = 0.30
F and W are not independent.
For two events A and B to be independent then P(A)*P(B) = P(A and B)
Here P(F) * P(W) = 0.14 ? P(F and W) = 0.30
so F and W are not independent.

Mail-Order Bride $51.68 Mail-order bride is a label applied to a woman who publishes her intent to marry someone from another – usually more financially developed – country. This label is considered offensive by some definitions. Historically, mail-order brides were women who listed themselves in catalogs and were selected by men for marriage. Sometimes the men and women involved were citizens of different countries, e.g. women from European countries moving to the United States during the 18th and 19th centuries, and sometimes they involved citizens of the same country. Mail-order brides traditionally hail from developing countries. The great majority of these women are from Southeast Asia including The Philippines, countries of the former Soviet Union, and to a lesser extent, from Latin America. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, large numbers of eastern European women advertised themselves in such a way; primarily being from Russia, Romania, Ukraine and Moldova. In the past, international marriage agencies such as Cherry Blossoms allowed women to sign up to be listed in picture magazines; now the Internet has largely supplanted this method. |

Mail Order Bride (DVD) $19.95 The West is a mighty perilous place. A man needs a good horse, a trusty shootin’-iron and steady nerve. And one more thing, according to aging cowpoke Will Lane (Buddy Ebsen): a bride. Director Burt Kennedy lassos plenty of laughs as well as action in Mail Order Bride, much as he’d do later in the memorable comic westerns Support Your Local Sheriff and Support Your Local Gunfighter. The story follows Lane as he plays dad to his dead friend’s rowdy son Lee (Keir Dullea). Via a mail-order catalogue, he finds the young man a widow (Lois Nettleton) with a little boy. Lee prefers raising hell to raising a family. But a whirlwind of Wild West action may force Lee to grow up – and appreciate the gentle heart of his new bride. |

Mail Order Wife $7.69 A movie maker unwittingly gets a bit too involved with his subjects in this darkly comic mockumentary. Andrew (Andrew Gurland) is a documentary filmmaker who wants to make a picture about modern-day mail order marriage. Andrew thinks he’s found the perfect subject for his film when he meets Adrian (Adrian Martinez), a stocky snake enthusiast from Queens, NY, who earns his living as a doorman and has never had much luck with women. Adrian wants choose a bride from a professional marriage broker’s agency called Paradise Girls, and Andrew agrees to foot the bill in exchange for the rights to make a movie about him. Adrian soon weds Lichi (Eugenia Yuan), an attractive Burmese woman, but Andrew is less than pleased to discover what Adrian really wants from his relationship is a woman who will feed mice to his pet python, make chili just the way he likes it, and keep the house spotless while occasionally indulging some of his odder sexual fantasies. Lichi isn’t happy either, and at Andrew’s urging she leaves Adrian and moves into Andrew’s apartment until she decides what to do next. Andrew falls for Lichi, and before long he asks for her hand in marriage; however, her relationship with Adrian has stripped Lichi of her illusions, and she becomes a very demanding bride who loudly speaks her mind and has accumulated a large and expensive collection of pig-related nick knacks. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi |

Christmas in the Old West: A Historical Scrapbook $28 Far away from the tinsel, eggnog, and colorfully wrapped packages of civilized life in the East, explorers, mountain men, and pioneers usually celebrated Christmas with homemade gifts and humble fare. As the West became settled, affluent westerners could order by mail virtually all the trimmings of Christmas, from toy trains to canned oysters. Christmas in the Old West: A Historical Scrapbook, a mosaic of stories, reminiscences, recipes, photographs, newspaper clippings, magazine advertisements, and more, brings alive the spirit of Christmas on the American frontier.Through diary quotes, letters, and stories we can feel the icy December wind as a lone trapper sips rum by his campfire, hear the gruff caroling of soldiers at their remote outpost, see candlelight flicker as a pioneer mother pieces together a rag doll for her little girl, and smell the venison roasting over an open hearth. Newspaper clippings announce town celebrations where a glorious time is assured. From the Corps of Discovery’s hungry, lonely Christmas at Fort Clatsop to mining-camp turkey shoots to ranchers’ Christmas dances, Sam Travers shows us the joys and challenges of keeping Christmas in a rough frontier setting. Color illustrations keep the mood merry as we discover the Old and New World Christmas traditions our forebears brought west. |
