Valtec Electronics fills orders for its electronic components and parts by truck to customers through several distribution centers. A measure of its supply chain responsiveness is order fulfillment lead time, which is the number of days from when a company receives an order to when it is delivered to the customer. A distribution center manager has taken 20 samples of 5 orders each during the month and recorded the lead time for each as follows: Sample 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 1.3 2.1 4.2 1.6 2.6 0.8 2.6 3.4 3.1 2.4 1.9 6.1 1.2 2.4 3.7 3.6 0.4 17 18 19 2.4 1.2 3.3 2.1 3 2.7 3.5 6.1 1.8 3.6 3 1.5 1.4 1.9 5.8 4.5 3.1 1.4 1.5 2.8 2.5 2.2 1.8 4.8 5.9 4.4 2.7 3.4 0.4 4.9 2.1 5.2 3.4 2.8 4.5 2.9 3.4 2.5 7 1.4 3.3 2.7 4.8 1.7 1.8 6.5 4.8 2.9 3.4 4.4 3.6 2.9 5.2 20 4.7 2 2 1.8 a.

Car manufacturers produced a variety of classic cars that continue to increase in value. Suppose the following data is based upon the Martin Rating System for Collectible Cars, and shows the rarity rating (1-20) and the high price ($1,000) for 15 classic cars.

According to the document Consumer Expenditures, a publication of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average consumer spent $1736 on apparel and services in the last year. A researcher believes that consumers in the Northeast spent more on average. The researcher sampled 25 consumers in the Northeast and recorded the amount they spent on apparel and services in the last year. The data is listed below: 1279 1457 2020 1682 1273 2223 2233 2192 1611 1734 2688 2029 2166 1860 2444 1844 1765 2267 1522 2012 1990 1751 2113 2202 1712 At the 0.05 level of significance, does the data provide evidence to suggest that consumers in the Northeast spend more on average than the national average reported in the Bureau of Labor Statistics?

The following data show the price per gallon for regular gasoline for a random sample of gasoline service stations for three major brands of gasoline (Shell, BP, and Marathon) located in eleven metropolitan areas across the upper Midwest region (OhioGasPrices.com website, March 18, 2012).

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?
A state fisheries commission wants to estimate the number of bass caught in a given lake during a season in order to restock the lake with the appropriate number of young fish. The commission could get a fairly accurate assessment of the seasonal catch by extensive “netting sweeps" of the lake before and after a season, but this technique is much too expensive to be done routinely. Therefore, the commission samples a number of lakes and record the seasonal catch (thousands of bass per square mile of lake area) and size of lake (square miles). A simple linear regression was performed and the following R output obtained. Estimate Std. Error t value Pr(>|t|) (Intercept) 2.5463 0.4427 5.7513 0.0000 size 0.0667 0.3672 0.1818 0.8578 If a scatterplot showed a non-linear relationship between the response and explanatory variables, what should be done?

A healthcare provider monitors the number of CAT scans perfomed each month in each of its clinics. The most recent year of data for a particular clinics follows (the reported variable is the number of CAT scans each month expressed as the number of CAT scans per thousand members of the health plan): 2.31, 2.09, 2.36, 1.95, 1.98, 2.25, 2.16, 2.07, 1.88, 1.94, 1.97, 2.02. Find a two-sided 95% confidence interval for the standard deviation. What should you do to address any reservations about this confidence interval? Round your answers to two decimal places (e.g. 98.76).
A psychologist believed that as children get older, they engage in more “inactive activities” such as playing computer games, watching TV and surfing the internet. She collected data from 10 children. She recorded the age of each child and the amount of activity (in hours) the child engaged in per week. Age Activity 7 4.3 9 3.2 10 1 13 1.5 12 1.2 15 0.8 9 3 12 4 15 1.5 14 1.9 Using excel, obtain a scatterplot of the data. Discuss the relationship between age and activity based on the scatterplot. Using excel, obtain the simple linear regression linear regression line predicting activity from age. Interpret the intercept and slope of the regression line. By hand, predict the amount of activity for age = 14. By hand, calculate the residual for age = 14 Using excel output, test the null hypothesis that the slope coefficient is zero using the p-value approach. Write one sentence interpreting the meaning of this result. Make sure to report the test statistic…
