A regional shipping company has a fleet of long-haul trucks. A random variable, Yi , is equal to 1 if trick "i" has a mechanical problem and zero otherwise. The probability that any given truck has a mechanical problem is .005. Assume that mechanical problems are independent across trucks.
a. If the company has 60 trucks, determine the probability that at least one truck has a mechanical problem.
b. How many trucks would the company need to own for there to be at least a 50-50 chance of at least one truck having a mechanical problem?

The world’s largest retailer, Walmart, owns and manages its own fleet of trucks. The company has often received praise for its distribution capabilities. The practice, however, seems to represent a stark contrast to the practice of outsourcing not only shipping, but other logistics operations to third-party logistics providers. Please address the advantages and disadvantages of these different policies. Under what conditions would it make sense for a firm to own and manage its own trucking operation?
