a) A company has five warehouses, only two of which have a particular product in stock. A salesperson calls the five warehouses in a random order until a warehouse with the product is reached. Let the ran- dom variable X be the number of calls made by the salesperson, and calculate its probability mass function and cumulative distribution function. b) Consider again the salesper- son discussed in above Problem who is trying to locate a par- ticular product. What is the ex- pected number of warehouses called by the salesperson?

A weight-loss program wants to test how well their program is working. The company selects a simple random sample of 51 individual that have been using their program for 15 months. For each individual person, the company records the individual's weight when they started the program 15 months ago as an x-value. The subject's current weight is recorded as a y-value. Therefore, a data point such as (205, 190) would be for a specific person and it would indicate that the individual started the program weighing 205 pounds and currently weighs 190 pounds. In other words, they lost 15 pounds. When the company performed a regression analysis, they found a correlation coefficient of r = 0.707. This clearly shows there is strong correlation, which got the company excited. However, when they showed their data to a statistics professor, the professor pointed out that correlation was not the right tool to show that their program was effective. Correlation will NOT show whether or not there is…
Fiske Corporation manufactures a popular regional brand of kitchen utensils. The design and variety has been fairly constant over the last three years. The managers at Fiske are planning for some changes in the product line next year, but first they want to understand better the relation between activity and factory costs as experienced with the current products. Discussions with the plant supervisor suggest that overhead seems to vary with labor-hours, machine-hours, or both. The following data were collected from last three year's operations: Quarter Machine-Hours 18,850 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 18,590 17,480 19,240 21,280 19,630 19,240 18,850 18,460 20,670 17,550 18,460 Labor-Hours 15,605 15,484 16,727 15,990 17,508 17,376 15,297 14,373 16,001 17,002 14,285 17,651 Factory costs $ 3,395,671 3,425,836 3,617,844 3,573,940 3,812,984 3,778,012 3,532,426 3,369,802 3,513, 187 3,731,434 3,325,615 3,724,486 Required: Prepare a scatter graph based on the factory cost and labor-hour data.

Given the “data” determined by y = x^3 + (x-1)^2 with x = 0.1, 1.2, 2.3, and 2.9, calculate SSTO, SSR, and R^2. Then recalculate these using x = 0.3, 1, 2.45, and 2.8. Does where you collect your data (i.e., which values of x) appear to impact your interpretation of how good the linear model fits?.
Consider data on every game played by the Brooklyn Nets in 2014 (82 games) that includes the variables margin, - the Net's margin of victory (number of points the Nets scored minus the number of points their opponent scored) for game i, and • home; - a dummy variable equal to 1 when the Nets are the home team (game i was played in their home arena) and equal to 0 when they are the away team (game i was played in the opponent's arena). I use the least-squares method to estimate the following regression model margin = a + ßhome; + ei Below is the Stata output corresponding to the estimated regression line: regress margin home if team===== "Brooklyn Nets" .

The table below gives the age and bone density for five randomly selected women. Using this data, consider the equation of the regression line, yˆ=b0+b1^x, for predicting a woman's bone density based on her age. Keep in mind, the correlation coefficient may or may not be statistically significant for the data given. Remember, in practice, it would not be appropriate to use the regression line to make a prediction if the correlation coefficient is not statistically significant.

2. I surveyed 150 adults in the U.S. and asked them how many hours of TV the watched on average per week. I then ran a regression of # of hours of TV on whether or not they were a college graduate (=1 if yes, =0 if no), their age in years, the number of children in their household, and whether or not they live a cold climate (=1 if latitude is greater than 41.2, =0 otherwise). The results fro the regression are shown in the table below.

The desired distance for Flextronchip customers is 0.4 mm between two adjacent pins. Any deviation from this value causes interference. The process of handling complaints costs the firm at approximately $30.00 per chip. The engineers of the firm expect the average customer will be likely to complain when the distance is off target by at least 0.0002 mm. At the factory, the adjustment can be made at a cost of $1.40, which includes the labor to make the adjustment and additional testing. Required: 1. What is the value of k, the cost coefficient, in the Taguchi quality loss function (QLF) based on the above data? 2. Based on a Taguchi quality loss function (QLF), what should the tolerance be before an adjustment is made at the factory? 3. Based on your answer to (requirement 2) above, what are the specification limits (upper and lower) for the production of the product in question? Complete this question by entering your answers in the tabs below. Required 2 Required 3 What is the value…

2. You need to present data to your boss and an assistant gives you a scatter gram with random points. They do not seem to form a line but r = 0.95. You did not draw the graph or calculate r. You do have the original data in front of you and it is accurate. How would you handle the discrepancy between the scatter gram and value for r?
