Exercise 1 Fortitude Insurance sells extended car warranties over the phone. They call people using random dialing. When recipients of the phone call press one on their phone, they are transferred to a sales agent. Sales agents are paid on commission. Management is concerned about the rapid turn-over of sales agents. They have decided to test a more lucrative commission plan. You have been hired to conduct this test. The research question: Does the new commission plan help sales agents increase their weekly sales commission? The significance level will be set at 5%. Step 1: Test Set-Up Question 1: How large a sample is needed to achieve 80% statistical power? Based on past research Cohen's d effect size is estimated at 0.40, which is a small effect. See the table below:

Cholesterol Cholesterol in human blood is necessary, but too much can lead to health problems. There are three main types of cholesterol: HDL (high-density lipoproteins), LDL (low-density lipoproteins), and VLDL (very low-density lipoproteins). HDL is considered “good” cholesterol; LDL and VLDL are considered “bad” cholesterol. A standard fasting cholesterol blood test measures total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides. These numbers are used to estimate LDL and VLDL, which are difficult to measure directly. Your doctor recommends that your combined LDL/VLDL cholesterol level be less than 130 milligrams per deciliter, your HDL cholesterol level be at least 60 milligrams per deciliter, and your total cholesterol level be no more than 200 milligrams per deciliter. (a) Write a system of linear inequalities for the recommended cholesterol levels. Let x represent the HDL cholesterol level, and let y represent the combined LDL VLDL cholesterol level. (b) Graph the system of inequalities from part (a). Label any vertices of the solution region. (c) Is the following set of cholesterol levels within the recommendations? Explain. LDL/VLDL: 120 milligrams per deciliter HDL: 90 milligrams per deciliter Total: 210 milligrams per deciliter (d) Give an example of cholesterol levels in which the LDL/VLDL cholesterol level is too high but the HDL cholesterol level is acceptable. (e) Another recommendation is that the ratio of total cholesterol to HDL cholesterol be less than 4 (that is, less than 4 to 1). Identify a point in the solution region from part (b) that meets this recommendation, and explain why it meets the recommendation.

What is an experiment? Give two examples.

Health officials routinely check the sanitary condition of restaurants. Assume you visit a popular tourist spot and read in the newspaper that in 3 out of every 7 restaurants checked, unsatisfactory health conditions were found. Assuming you are planning to eat out 10 times while you are there on vacation.
