Suppose in a small town there are three places to eat, a Chinese restaurant, a Mexican restaurant, and a pizza place. Everyone in town eats dinner in one of these places or has dinner at home. Assume that 20% of those who eat in the Chinese restaurant go to Mexican next time, 20% eat home and 30% go to the pizza place. From those who eat in the Mexican restaurant, 10% go to the pizza place, 25% go to the Chinese restaurant, and 25% eats at home next time. From those who eat at the pizza place, 30% eat at home, 30% eat at the Chinese restaurant, and 10% eat at the Mexican restaurant next time. Those who eat at home, 20% go to the Chinese restaurant, 25% go to Mexican restaurant, and 30% to the pizza place. a. Set us the matrix of transition probabilities and show the transition diagram b. Find the steady state probabilities c. In the long run, which restaurant will have the most customer

A big concert was held at the Bowl. Men and women had to go through separate lines to enter. The turnstile on the female entrance showed a total count of 1595 females, but the males turnstile was broken. A sample was taken from the 200 seats in section A, which showed 74 males in the section. Use the male count from section A to estimate the total number of people attending the concert. (Assume none of the seats were empty.)

The owner of a popular coffee shop believes that customers who drink espresso are less likely to use their own cup compared to customers who drink coffee. Customers using their own cups get a 5% discount, which is displayed on the receipt. The owner randomly selects 50 receipts from all espresso purchases and 50 receipts from all coffee purchases. For espresso purchases, 15 receipts showed that the customer used their own cup. For coffee purchases, 24 receipts showed the customer used their own cup. Let pEspresso= the true proportion of customers who drink espresso and use their own cup and pcoffee= the true proportion of customers who drink coffee and use their own cup. Which of the following is the correct standardized test statistic and P-value for the hypotheses, Ho: PEspresso - Pcoftee =0 and H, PEspresso - Pcoft < 0?

A large retail lawn care dealer currently provides a 2-year warranty on all lawn mowers sold at its stores. A new employee suggested that the dealer could save money by just not offering the warranty. To evaluate this suggestion, the dealer randomly decides whether or not to offer the warranty to the next 50 customers who enter the store and express an interest in purchasing a lawnmower. Out of the 25 customers offered the warranty, 10 purchased a mower as compared to 4 of 25 not offered the warranty. a. Place a 95% confidence interval on 7₁ - 72, the difference in the proportions of customers purchasing lawnmowers with and without the warranty. b. Test the research hypothesis that offering the warranty will increase the propor- tion of customers who will purchase a mower. Use a = .05. c. Are the conditions for using a large-sample test to answer the question in part (b) satisfied? If not, apply an exact procedure,
