Internet Audience At the end of a certain year, the four companies with the largest number of home Internet users in the United States were Microsoft, Time Warner, Yahoo, and Google, with a combined audience of 284 million users. Taking x to be the Microsoft audience in millions, y the Time Warner audience in millions, z the Yahoo audience in millions, and u the Google audience in millions, it was observed that z - u = 3(x - Y) + 24 x + y = 44 +z + u and x - y + z - u = 48. How large was the audience of each of the four companies at the end of that year? Microsoft Time Warner Yahoo Google

A health scientist is testing the effectiveness of three different diets (Diet A, Diet B, and Diet C). To determine diet effectiveness, a group of 72 participants were weighed and then randomly assigned to adhere to one of the three diets for a month (N = 24 for each group). At the end of the month, each participant was weighed again and the amount of weight lost was calculated in kilograms (kg). Using the variables “Diet” and “Weight Loss kg”, conduct a One-Way, Between Subjects, ANOVA, at α = 0.05, AND conduct Tukey's Post Hoc testing to find out which of the three diets was most effective. Identify the correct symbolic notation for the alternative hypothesis. A. HA: µ1 ≠ µ2 ≠ µ3 B. H0: µ1 = µ2 C. H0: µ1 = µ2 = µ3 D. HA: µ1 ≠ µ2

A school Psychologist is interested in the effect of violent television programs on a child's agression depending on if the show is a cartoon or not. Eighty children were recruited and were divided into equal groups. Half of the children watched a violent television program while the other half watched a non- violent program. Half of the children watched a cartoon while the other half watched a show that was not a cartoon. The children were then placed in a small group and the researcher measured the level of agressiveness of each child.

. In 2010, of a total of 67,000 rooms on the Las Vegas Strip, Caesars Entertainment managed 22,880, while MGM Resorts managed over 12,000. However, owing to the Great Recession and new hotel openings, between 2008 and 2010, MGM's hotel occupancy decreased from 92% to 89%, while its average daily room rate fell from $148 to $108. Meanwhile, CityCenter, managed by MGM Resorts, and the Cosmopolitan opened with 4,000 and 3,000 rooms respectively, and the 1,720-room Sahara closed. (Sources: Caesars Entertainment Corp., Annual Report 2010; MGM Resorts, Annual Report 2010; "Sahara's closure on May 16 will mark `the end of an era'," Las Vegas Sun, March 11, 2011.) (a) Using a suitable figure, explain how the opening of CityCenter and the Cosmopolitan affects the residual demand for an existing hotel and how it should adjust prices. (b) If MGM Resorts had not reduced its room rates, what would have been the effect on occupancy? (c) Use the Cournot model to explain…
A motion picture industry analyst is studying movies based on epic novels. The following data were obtained for 10 Hollywood movies made in the past five years. Each movie was based on an epic novel. For these data, x1 = first-year box office receipts of the movie, x2 = total production costs of the movie, x3 = total promotional costs of the movie, and x4 = total book sales prior to movie release. All units are in millions of dollars. x1 x2 x3 x4 85.1 8.5 5.1 4.7 106.3 12.9 5.8 8.8 50.2 5.2 2.1 15.1 130.6 10.7 8.4 12.2 54.8 3.1 2.9 10.6 30.3 3.5 1.2 3.5 79.4 9.2 3.7 9.7 91.0 9.0 7.6 5.9 135.4 15.1 7.7 20.8 89.3 10.2 4.5 7.9 a) If x2 (production costs) and x4 (book sales) were held fixed but x3 (promotional costs) were increased by 1.1 million dollars, what would you expect for the corresponding change in x1 (box office receipts)?

A researcher believed that the number of rental cars in service by a car rental company would have an impact on the total annual revenue for that car rental company. Five small car rental companies were surveyed, with the number of Cars in service recorded in units of 1000 (so if a car rental company had 54000 cars in service, a 54 would be recorded) and Annual Revenue measured in millions of dollars (so an Annual Revenue of $10,000,000 would be recorded as 10). The data follows: Cars (1,000s) Annual Revenue ($ millions)11.5 118 10.0 135 9.0 100 5.5 37 3.3 32 Part of the Excel-generated Simple Linear Regression output is provided below: ANOVA df SS MS F Significance F Regression 1 7891.863897 7891.863897 22.91180151 0.017339231 Residual 3 1033.336103 344.4453677 Total 4 8925.2 Coefficients Standard Error t Stat P-value Intercept -19.12490108 23.1658578…

The Conch Café, located in Gulf Shores, Alabama, features casual lunches with a great view of the Gulf of Mexico. To accommodate the increase in business during the summer vacation season, Fuzzy Conch, the owner, hires a large number of servers as seasonal help. When he interviews a prospective server, he would like to provide data on the amount a server can earn in tips. He believes that the amount of the bill and the number of diners are both related to the amount of the tip. He gathered the following sample information. Customer Amount of Tip Amount of Bill Number of Diners Customer Amount of Tip Amount of Bill Number of Diners 1 $ 7.00 $ 48.97 5 16 $ 3.30 $ 23.59 2 2 4.50 28.23 4 17 3.50 22.30 2 3 1.00 10.65 1 18 3.25 32.00 2 4 2.40 19.82 3 19 5.40 50.02 4 5 5.00 28.62 3 20 2.25 17.60 3 6 4.25 24.83 2 21 5.50 44.47 4 7 0.50 6.24 1 22 3.00 20.27 2…
Experimental or Observational: A group of students is interested in knowing if the number of times they can sink a basketball is related to the color of the basketball. The students shoot a series of baskets and record their success using a regulation colored basketball. They then switch to a blue colored basketball and shoot the same series of baskets. .
A teacher was listening to some of her students talk about how many SnapChats they send during the day. The teacher decided that she wanted to conduct a study to see if the number of SnapChats a student sends per day affects how much time students talk to their friends face-to-face. So, the teacher let her 2nd period class continue sending Snaps as they always have. Then, the teacher told her 5th period that they were to not watch use SnapChat for a whole day. Then, the teacher had students record how many conversations they had with their friends during the week, gathered the data, and analyzed the results. c. What was the research question?
