A manufacturing company plans to expand its production and logistics facility into one of the countries listed in the following table. The cost of building such facilities in each country differs based on the state of its economic and political climate. Three cost estimates were made per country in million dollars. What is the best decision alternative using MINIMAX REGRET decision criterion? What is the best decision alternative using criterion of realism at alpha = 0.8?

A researcher's survey results indicate that about 50% of 12th graders consume less than 300g of vegetables at lunch, about 40% consume 300-600g, and only 10% of them consume more than 600g. A high school conducted a survey of student diets and health information, and reported data about 12th graders' vegetable intake at lunch is reported in the table photo. If researchers wants to find out whether the high school has the same proportions of 12th graders in the vegetable intake categories as reported by the survey, what would the appropiate test statistic be to use and why. Choosing between an ANOVA, Chi -Square independence tests, Chi Square Goodness of Fit, and One sample proportion test?
You want to compare males and females in their use of coping strategies when engaged in conflict in relationships. You send surveys to couples obtained from marriage license application at the county clerk's office. You identify several distinct coping strategies on the survey and have the respondents rate their use of each strategy on a 7-point scale. You then compare scores that come from the two members of each relationship. If testing hypotheses about the effects of gender on use of coping strategies, it would be most appropriate to calculate a ... 1) independent-samples t 2) one sample t 3) paired samples t 4) z test
The article “Valuing Watershed Quality Improvements Using Conjoint Analysis” (S. Farber and B. Griner, Ecological Economics, 2000:63–76) presents the results of a mail survey designed to assess opinions on the value of improvement efforts in an acid-mine degraded watershed in Western Pennsylvania. Of the 510 respondents to the survey, 347 were male. Census data show that 48% of the target population is male. Can you conclude that the survey method employed in this study tends to oversample males? Explain.
A survey was conducted of two types of marketers. The first type being marketers that focus primarily on attracting business (B2B), and the second type being marketers that primarily target consumers (B2C). It was reported that 518 (88%) of B2B and 250 (61%) of B2C marketers commonly use a business social media tool. The study also revealed that 313 (53%) of B2B marketers and 243 (60%) of B2C marketers commonly use a video social media tool. Suppose the survey was based on 589 B2B marketers and 407 B2C marketers. Complete parts (a) through (c) below. a. At the 0.05 level of significance, is there evidence of a difference between B2B marketers and B2C marketers in the proportion that commonly use the business social media tool? Let population 1 correspond to B2B marketers and population 2 correspond to B2C marketers. Choose the correct null and alternative hypotheses below. O A. Ho: T1 2 T2 B. Ho: T STh2 H1: Tq T2 C.

11) Consider each of the following scenarios and state whether the variable in question is a confounder, or whether more information is needed to assess confounding. Choose from Yes / No / or Need more information, and provide a very brief explanation for your selection a) In a cohort study of liver cancer among males, incidence rates of liver cancer among men with unhealthy alcohol use are compared to incidence rates of liver cancer among non-drinkers. Is gender a confounder in this study? b) A case-control study of the risk of beer consumption and oral cancer among men (overall OR = 2.8). In this study, cigarette smoking is associated with beer consumption and is a risk factor for oral cancer among both beer drinkers (OR=3.6) and nondrinkers (OR=3.7). Is cigarette smoking a confounder in this study? c) In a study of the risk of pulmonary hypertension among women who take diet drugs to lose weight, the crude relative risk of pulmonary hypertension comparing diet drug users to…
In a cohort study of pesticide exposure and cancer, a group of employees who were exposed to the pesticide and a comparative group who were not exposed were followed up for 30 years at a chemical company. Researchers found that the incidence of cancer among the exposed workers was 55.3 per 1,000. In the comparative group, the incidence of cancer was 15.7 per 1,000. Calculate the: 1. relative risk and the 2. attributable risks of exposure of exposure to pesticides and the development of cancer. Please show you calculations.

5. A study is planned to assess the effect of a new surgical intervention for gallbladder disease. One hundred patients with gallbladder disease will be randomly assigned to receive either the new surgical intervention or the standard surgical intervention. The efficacy of the new surgical intervention will be measured by the time is takes a patient to return to normal activities, measured in days. Identify the type of study proposed and indicate its specific strengths and weaknesses.
A national standard requires that public bridges over 20 feet in length must be inspected and rated every 2 years. The rating scale ranges from 0 (poorest rating) to 9 (highest rating). A group of engineers used a probabilistic model to forecast the inspection ratings of all major bridges in a city. For the year 2020, the engineers forecast that 6% of all major bridges in that city will have ratings of 4 or below. Complete parts a and b. a. Use the forecast to find the probability that in a random sample of 7 major bridges in the city, at least 3 will have an inspection rating of 4 or below in 2020. P(x≥3)=
Nana AB. supplies a range of computer hardware and software to 2000 schools within a large municipal region of Spain. When Nana AB. won the contract the issue of customer service was considered to be central to the company being successful at the final bidding stage. The company has now requested that its customer service director creates a series of graphical representations of the data to illustrate customer satisfaction with the service. The following data has been collected during the last six months and measures the time to respond to the received complaint (days).52434661563832 87783496745423 5632861281325253 3445213142125321 437662127336712 7889261074782332 2621567891851512 1556452145262134 2812672324432565 238872178547679 The customer service director has analysed this data to create a grouped frequency table and plotted the histogram.

Prof. Flores, always interested in improving her teaching effectiveness, has decided to undertake a careful analysis of her evaluations from the past three years. A matter of special concern to her is how she is viewed by students of different majors. She's decided to look at the last question on the teacher evaluation form, Question 17, which is, "Would you recommend this professor to another student?" Each of Prof. Flores' students can be placed into one of three categories according to the student's major school, as shown in the contingency table below. (Students who have majors from more than one school are not included.) This table contains a summary of the data that Prof. Flores has collected for 500 of her students. Each of the 500 students is classified according to two variables: major school ("School of Social Science", "School of Engineering", or "School of Physical Sciences") and response to Question 17 ("No", "Maybe", or "Yes"). In the cells of the table are written the…
