Three firms carry inventories that differ in size. Firm A's inventory contains 2,000 items, firm B's inventory contains 5,000 items, and firm C's inventory contains 10,000 items. The population standard deviation for the cost of the items in each firm's inventory is a = 121. A statistical consultant recommends that each firm take a sample of 50 items from its inventory to provide statistically valid estimates of the average cost per item. Managers of the small firm state that because it has the smallest population, it should be able to make the estimate from a much smaller sample than that required by the larger firms. However, the consultant states that to obtain the same standard error and thus the same precision in the sample results, all firms should use the same sample size regardless of population size. (a) Using the finite population correction factor, compute the standard error for each of the three firms given a sample of size 50. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) firm A firm B firm C (b) What is the probability that for each firm the sample mean x will be within 125 of the population mean u? (Round your answers to four decimal places.) firm A firm B firm C

Joan's Nursery specializes in custom-designed landscaping for residential areas. The estimated labor cost associated with a particular landscaping proposal is based on the number of plantings of trees, shrubs, and so on to be used for the project. For cost-estimating purposes, managers use two hours of labor time for the planting of a medium-sized tree. Actual times from a sample of 10 plantings during the past month follow (times in hours).

An agent for a residential real estate company in a large city has the business objective of developing more accurate estimates of the monthly rental cost for apartments. Toward that goal, the agent would like to use the size of an apartment, as defined by square footage to predict the monthly rental cost. The agent selects a sample of 25 apartments in a particular residential neighborhood and collects the following data: Size (square feet) Rent ($) 850 1950 1450 2600 1085 2200 1232 2500 718 1950 1485 2700 1136 2650 726 1935 700 1875 956 2150 1100 2400 1285 2650 1985 3300 1369 2800 1175 2400 1225 2450 1245 2100 1259 2700 1150 2200 896 2150 1361 2600 1040 2650 755 2200 1000 1800 1200 2750 (a) Determine the coefficient of determination, r2, and interpret its meaning.

In this problem, assume that the distribution of differences is approximately normal. Note: For degrees of freedom d.f. not in the Student's t table, use the closest d.f. that is smaller. In some situations, this choice of d.f. may increase the P-value by a small amount and therefore produce a slightly more "conservative" answer.In the following data pairs, A represents birth rate and B represents death rate per 1000 resident population.
