(3) A study on optimizing revenue from a website considered dividing cus- tomers into two groups based on a value r bound between 0 and 1, where r measures the proportion of the total bandwidth requested by a customer. Customers with a request less than z were considered low revenue, and those above z high revenue. The expected revenue from the low revenue customers was described by R(1) = Cr(1 – e-kz), where C and k are positive constants based on attributes of the website and the customers.

Suppose that a study was conducted to determine if there is a significant difference in the average temperature of individuals before and after COVID-19 boosters were given. The temperatures of a sample of individuals were obtained before the boosters were given. The following day, their temperatures were again measured. The table below shows the data in degrees Celsius. (10 points) Temperature before Temperature after one day. Determine If there is a significant difference in the average temperature of Individuals who were given boosters at 5% level of significance. Assume that the differences in the temperatures follow the normal distribution.
For this year’s most important new toy, Holiday’s marketing director is expecting demand to average 40 units per retail outlet. Prior to making the final production decision based on this estimate, Holiday decided to survey a sample of 25 retailers in order to develop more information about the demand for the new product. Each retailer was provided with information about the features of the new toy along with the cost and the suggested selling price. Then each retailer was asked to specify an anticipated order quantity. Alpha = .05. Note: Calculate for the Sample Standard Deviation.
The management of the local zoo wants to know if all of their animal exhibits are equally popular. If there is significant evidence that some of the exhibits are not being visited frequently enough, then changes may need to take place within the zoo. A tally of visitors is taken for each of the following animals throughout the course of a week, and the results are contained in the following table. At a = 0.025, determine whether there is sufficient evidence to conclude that some exhibits are less popular than others.

As part of a study at a large university, data were collected on n = 224 freshmen computer science (CS) majors in a particular year. The researchers were interested in modeling y, a student's grade point average (GPA) after three semesters, as a function of the following independent variables (recorded at the time the students enrolled in the university): X 1= average high school grade in mathematics (HSM) X 2 = average high school grade in science (HSS) X 3 = average high school grade in English (HSE) X 4 = SAT mathematics score (SATM) x 5 = SAT verbal score (SATV) A first-order model was fit to the data with the following results: SOURCE DF MS F VALUE PROB>F MODEL 28.64 5.73 11.69 0001 ERROR 218 106 82 0.49 TOTAL 223 135.46 ROOT MSE DEP MEAN 0.700 R-SQUARE 0.211 4.635 ADJ R-SQ 0.193 PARAMETER STANDARD T FOR O VARIABLE ESTIMATE ERROR PARAMETER -0 PROB> ITI INTERCEPT 2.327 0.039 5.817 0.0001 0.0003 XI HSM) X2 (HSS) X3 (HSE) X4 (SATM) X5 (SATV) 0.146 0.037 3.718 a.036 0.038 0.950 0.3432…

The marketing research department of a large company knows that the company's monthly sales are influenced by the way in which it spends money on marketing. For example, monthly expenditures such as the ones listed below are known to have an effect on y, the company's total monthly sales (in millions of dollars). x = money spent on television advertising (in 1000's of dollars) X2 = money spent on promotion (i.e., free samples) x3 = money spent on newspaper advertising (in 1000's of dollars) X = average discounts offered to retail outlets (in %) Using data from the previous 26 months, the company decides to collect data on 3 of the independent variables to use in a multiple regression model for estimating monthly sales. If the R´ for this model is 0.5, fill in the missing entries in the ANOVA table associated with this model. Do all calculations to at least three decimal places.
