A large operator of timeshare complexes requires anyoneinterested in making a purchase to first visit thesite of interest. Historical data indicates that 20% of allpotential purchasers select a day visit, 50% choose aone-night visit, and 30% opt for a two-night visit. Inaddition, 10% of day visitors ultimately make a purchase,30% of one-night visitors buy a unit, and 20%of those visiting for two nights decide to buy. Supposea visitor is randomly selected and is found to havemade a purchase. How likely is it that this person madea day visit? A one-night visit? A two-night visit?

The ABC Company is involved in the production and selling of consumer goods, particularly beauty products such as bath soap and shampoo and had registered a positive profit growth for the last 10 years. However, the current year seems to be different from those years as the company is expecting a decline in profit; which is estimated to be about 70% below the target. The manager now is in a dilemma … asking himself/herself “What happened, why this decline in profit?” The Manager then asked the company Accountant to give him/her the data on sales and advertising cost for the last 10 years – he/she wants these data to determine whether the company can live without advertising, as advertising cost happens to be substantial. Justify your answer by doing as step-by-step procedure in Correlation Analysis using a 0.05 level of significance. The data are as follows –
The owner of a small deli is trying to decide whether to discontinue selling magazines. He suspects that only 9.7% of his customers buy a magazine and he thinks that he might be able to use the display space to sell something more profitable. Before making a final decision, he decides that for one day he will keep track of the number of customers that buy a magazine. Assuming his suspicion that 9.7% of his customers buy a magazine is correct, what is the probability that exactly 6 out of the first 13 customers buy a magazine? 0.000305894 0.00100664 0.000699781 0.000778757 0.000204114 0.000326183
Your hospital is negotiating with medical insurance providers, who would like to reduce the amount they pay as reimbursement for hospital stays. For a particular procedure, they would like to reduce payment by $300 and have patients go home one day earlier. To see what effect this would have on hospital costs, a random sample of 50 patients who were recently admitted for this procedure was analyzed. Had they left one day earlier, the average hospital cost would have been $322.44 less, and the standard deviation was found to be $21.71. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean net savings for the hospital, per patient, for the larger population of recent patients.
A salon owner estimates the number of clients she is expecting during the festive season to be 20% during Monday to Wednesday, 20% on Thursday and 60% over the weekend. She therefore hires additional staff to assist during the weekend to meet the client demand. She however only observes 30% during Monday to Wednesday, 20% on Thursday and 50% over the weekend in the first week of December. The salon owner is uncertain whether she should reduce the planned staff for the December festive period due the observed trend or not. She conducts a statistical test at α = 0.05 to determine if the observed trend fits the expected trend. Which of the following statements is true? A. The conclusion of the test is that she should not keep the additional staff for the weekend. B. The df for this test is 3. C. The p-value is greater than α. D. The null hypothesis is that the observed trend is different to the expected trend. E. The test statistic is χ2 = 5.33.
A $150 eReader comes with a warranty from an electronics business that covers theft (T) and accidental damage (AD) . Due to the high expense of repairing an eReader, it is more cost-effective for the business to provide the customer a complete refund to go toward another one. There is a 5.1% possibility that an AD (Accidenal Claim) claim will be made in any given year. Assume there can only be one claim made (not one of each type).Customers who report an eReader as stolen will get a reimbursement for 80% of the item's full price. A Theft (T) claim is likely to be submitted 3.5% of the time in any given year.What is the anticipated financial benefit or loss for the firm on each contract if the warrantee costs $15.95 for a year?(NOTE: Keep in mind that regardless of whether a claim is made, the consumer will pay for the warranty upfront.)
Many investors and financial analysts believe the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) gives a good barometer of the overall stock market. On January 31, 2006, 9 of the 30 stocks making up the DJIA increased in price (The Wall Street Journal, February 1, 2006). On the basis of this fact, a financial analyst claims we can assume that 30% of the stocks traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) went up the same day.A sample of 80 stocks traded on the NYSE that day showed that 11 went up.You are conducting a study to see if the proportion of stocks that went up is is significantly less than 0.3. You use a significance level of α=0.02α=0.02.What is the test statistic for this sample? (Report answer accurate to three decimal places.)test statistic = What is the p-value for this sample?

State University has increased its tuition for in-state and out-of-state students in each of the past 5 years to offset cuts in its budget allocation from the state legislature. The university administration always thought that the number of applications received was independent of tuition; however, drops in applications and enrollments the past 2 years have proved this theory to be wrong. University admissions officials have developed the following relationships between the number of applicants who accept admission and enter State and the cost of tuition per semester (in-state) (out-of-state) The university would like to develop a planning model that will indicate the in-state and out-of-state tuitions, as well as the number of students that could be expected to enroll in the freshman class. The university doesn’t have enough classroom space for more than 1,400 freshmen, and it needs at least 700 freshmen to meet all its class-size x2 = 35,000 - 6t2 x1 = 21,000 - 12t1 (xi) (ti):…
The Harriet Hotel in downtown Boston has 100 rooms that rent for $150 per night. It costs the hotel $30 per room in variable costs (cleaning, bathroom items, etc.) each night a room is occupied. For each reservation accepted, there is a 5% chance that the guest will not arrive. If the hotel overbooks, it costs $200 to compensate guests whose reservations cannot be honored. How many reservations should the hotel accept if it wants to maximize the average daily profit?
3. Aquasystem performed a make/buy analysis to for making a new water filters. The filter sells for $50 that will require equipment that will cost $200,000 and $25,000 annual operating cost comprise the fixed cost. The variable cost is $20 per filter. The equipment has a 5 year life, no salvage value, and the MARR is 6% per year. The decision to make the filter was based on breakeven point and the historical sales level of 500 filter per year. a. Determine the breakeven point b. An engineer investigated that a supplier can make the filter for $30 each. Determine whether Aquasystem should make or buy the filters.

She maintained the rats on three diets throughout their lives and recorded their lifespans (in years). Five rates in each group. Is there evidence that diet affected life span in this study?
