GMAT Exam
West River Glen is deciding which network architecture should replace its old copper telephone lines. The town will replace 300 miles of Outside Plant (OSP) cable that will serve approximately 2,500 homes.
The first option is to install a Fiber to the Home (FTTH) system architecture that uses fiber-optic cable to transmit signals from the source to each home. The advantages of this architecture include greater bandwidth capabilities, less signal loss, and slightly lower new-cable deployment costs than the second option, Hybrid Fiber-Coax (HFC).
An HFC network integrates fiber-optic cables and devices with coaxial cables.
This will cost the town substantially less money for internal equipment and for customer installations. However, the coaxial cable does not last as long as fiberoptic cable and will thus need to be replaced more frequently, resulting in higher long-term maintenance expenses.
The town believes that either the FTTH or HFC architectures will be capable of serving the communities' data and television needs for the next 30 years.
For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement can be inferred to be true on the basis of the information provided. Otherwise, select No.

At a carnival game, a winning player spins a wheel that always lands on either Prize 1 or Prize 2 to determine which of the two prizes he or she wins. The probability that the prize wheel indicates Prize 2 Is double the probability that It indicates Prize 1. If a player does not want the prize that the prize wheel first indicates, then he or she may spin the wheel again. In such cases, the player must accept whichever prize the prize wheel indicates on the second spin.
Select for Prize I the number nearest to the probability that a winning player who wants Prize 1 will receive Prize 1 after one or two spins of the prize wheel, and select for Prize ^the number nearest to the probability that a winning player who wants Prize 2 will receive Prize 2 after one or two spins of the prize wheel. Make only two selections, one in each column.
