Question FiveThe management of a supermarket wants to adopt a new promotional policy ofgiving free gift to every customer who spends more than a certain amount per visitat this supermarket. The expectation of the management is that after thispromotional policy is advertised, the expenditure for all customers at thissupermarket will be normally distributed with mean 400 £ and a variance of 900£?.1) If the management wants to give free gifts to at most 10% of the customers,what should the amount be above which a customer would receive a freegift?2) In a sample of 100 customers, what are the number of customers whoseexpenditure is between 420 £ and 485 £?3) What is a probability of selecting a customer whose expenditure is differ thanthe population mean expenditure by at most 50 £?4) In a sample of 49 customers, what are the number of customers whosemean expenditure is at least 410 £?5) What is the probability that the expenditure of the first customer exceeds theexpenditure of the second customer by at least 20 £?

Mariah Jacobsen is the marketing manager at ABC Electronics, a major consumer electronics supplier in the northwest. Over the last five years, sales of the company's flagship product - the Wizer Anonymizer (the WA) - have been 45000, 45500, 44500, 46000 and 44000 units. This rate of sales is considered average for the product over the last twenty years or so. Ms. Jacobsen believes that the distribution of the WA's sales is normal with a standard deviation of 1500 units. If she were asked to make a forecast of next year's sales to upper management, what is the likelihood that she would be correct if she predicts sales between 43000 and 46000?
To the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the reasonableness of total itemized deductions depends on the taxpayer's adjusted gross income. Large deductions, which include charity and medical deductions, are more reasonable for taxpayers with large adjusted gross incomes. If a taxpayer claims larger th average itemized deductions for a given level of income, the chances of an IRS audit are increased. Data (in thousands of dollars) on adjusted gross income and the average or reasonable amount of itemized deductions follow.

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 72 stocks traded on the NYSE that day showed that 12 went up. You are conducting a study to see if the proportion of stocks that went up is significantly less than 0.3. You use a significance level of a = 0.005. 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?

An analyst in the real estate business is interested in the relationship between the cost of the monthly rent of an apartment and the size of an apartment, in big cities. She gathers data for apartment buildings in 12 cities in 12 different states. In each city, she gets the numbers for at least 5 different buildings and at least 40 apartments in each building. She reaches the following conclusion: the rental cost of a 2-bedroom apartment is 50% more than the rental cost of a 1-bedroom apartment, and the rental cost of a 3-bedroom apartment is 50% more than the rental cost of a 2-bedroom apartment. Based on the paragraph, what is the minimum number of apartments she collected data on? Do you think her sample was large enough to be statistically valid? Based on the paragraph, are there any apartments or apartment buildings that she would have excluded from her study? Do you see any bias in how she selected apartments for her study? Based on the paragraph, is there a positive…

1. Referring to Scenario 13-11, which of the following is the correct interpretation for the slope coefficient?a) For each decrease of 1 thousand downloads, the expected revenue is estimated to increase by $ 3.7297 thousands.b) For each increase of 1 thousand downloads, the expected revenue is estimated to increase by $ 3.7297 thousands.c) For each decrease of 1 thousand dollars in expected revenue, the expected number of downloads is estimated to increase by 3.7297 thousands.d) For each increase of 1 thousand dollars in expected revenue, the expected number of downloads is estimated to increase by 3.7297 thousands.
3. Scenario It is believed that large doses of acetaminophen (the active ingredient in over the counter pain relievers like Tylenol) may cause damage to the liver in nearly half of those tested. A researcher wants to conduct a study to estimate if the proportion of acetaminophen users who have liver damage is the same as previously reported. For participating in this study, he will pay each subject $20 and provide a free medical consultation if the patient has liver damage. Part A If he wants to limit the margin of error of his 98% conﬁdence interval to 2%, what is the minimum number of subjects he needs? (answer should be in the form of x,xxx) the minimum amount of money he needs to set aside to pay his subjects? $ (answer should be in the form of $xx,xxx) Part B The amount you calculated in Part A is substantially over his budget so he decides to use fewer subjects. Will this change increase or decrease the width of his conﬁdence interval? Will this new confidence interval be…
Suppose that Mary, Gary, and Larry have been asked to randomly sample 100 patients' visit records from a file of 2000 patient records and record the amount of time the attending physician spent with each patient. Gary suggests the time of year during which the patient was seen may be a confounding variable and strongly advises dividing the year into quarters (Jan - Mar, Apr-Jun, Jul-Sep, Oct- Dec) and randomly selecting 25 patient records from each quarter. Which of the following best describes Gary's sampling plan? (A) A simple random sample (B) A systematic random sample (C) A stratified random sample (D) A cluster sample (E) A convenience sample
