You are an analyst for a consumer products company. You run a survey of 1000 customers and find that 80% of customers use gel packs for laundry detergent (the rest use liquid or powder) and 40% of customers use gel packs for their dishwasher detergent (the rest use liquid or powder). You also learn that twice as many customers use laundry detergent than dishwasher detergent.
You have the following data: Student A took 2 courses in the Fall semester. His previous CGPA was 3.2. He received GPA 3.5 in the Fall semester. Student B took 5 courses in the Fall semester. Her previous CGPA was 3.9. She received GPA 3.6 in the Fall semester. Student C took 4 courses in the Fall semester. His previous CGPA was 3.6. He received GPA 3.4 in the Fall semester. Using this data, we'll try to build a model using Least Square approximation, that can predict the CGPA of a student in the Fall semester given the number of courses s/he took in Fall, and his/her previous CGPA. (In real life, we'd use many more parameters, but for the sake of the quiz, we are keeping things simple.) The model is as follows - wi x (number of courses) + wz x (previouos CGPA) = GPA in Fall Find the values of wi, and wz using Least Square approximation. (Round off up to 3 decimal points) w, is equal to - wz is equal to - If a student took 4 courses in Fall, and his previous CGPA was 3.7, what would be…
. 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…
Large companies typically collect volumes of data before designing a product, not only to gain information as to whether the product should be released, but also to pinpoint which markets would be the best targets for the product. Several months ago, I was interviewed by such a company while shopping at a mall. I was asked about my exercise habits and whether or not I'd be interested in buying a video/DVD designed to teach stretching exercises. I fall into the male, 18 - 35-years-old category, and I guessed that, like me, many males in that category would not be interested in a stretching video. My friend Holly falls in the female, older-than-35 category, and I was thinking that she might like the stretching video. After being interviewed, I looked at the interviewer's results. Of the 94 people in my market category who had been interviewed, 14 said they would buy the product, and of the 108 people in Holly's market category, 34 said they would buy it. Assuming that these data came…
A U.S. magazine, Consumer Reports, carried out a survey of the calorie and sodium content of a number of diﬀerent brands of hotdog. There were two types of hotdog: beef, ’meat‘ (mainly pork and beef but can contain up to 15% poultry) and poultry. The results below are the calorie content of the diﬀerent brands of beef and poultry hotdogs. Beef hotdogs: 186,181,176,149,184,190,158,139,175,148,152,111,141,153,190,157,131,149,135,132 Poultry hotdogs: 129,132,102,106,94,102,87,99,170,113,135,142,86,143,152,146,144 Using six steps of hypothesis testing, determine if there is a strong evidence that the calorie content of poultry hotdogs is lower than the calorie content of beef hotdogs.
Companies in the U.S. car rental market vary greatly in terms of the size of the fleet, the number of locations, and annual revenue. In 2011, Hertz had 320,000 cars in service and annual revenue of approximately $4.2 billion. Suppose the following data show the number of cars in service (1,000s) and the annual revenue ($ millions) for six smaller car rental companies. Cars Revenue Company (1,000s) ($ millions) Company A 11.5 120 Company B 10.0 133 Company C 9.0 102 Company D 5.5 37 Company E 4.2 42 Company F 3.3 34 (a) Develop a scatter diagram with the number of cars in service as the independent variable. 160T 160T 160 160- 140- 140 140 140 120 120 120 120- 100 100 100 100- 80 80 80 80 60 60 60 60 .. . 40 40 .. 40 40 20 20 20 20 4 6 8 10 12 14 2 4 8 10 12 14 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 Cars in Service (1,000s) Cars in Service (1,000s) Cars in Service (1,000s) Cars in Service (1,000s) (b) What does the scatter diagram developed in part (a) indicate about the relationship between…
Bicycling World, a magazine devoted to cycling, reviews hundreds of bicycles throughout the year. Its "Road-Race" category contains reviews of bicycles used by riders primarily interested in racing. One of the most important factors in selecting a bicycle for racing is the weight of the bicycle. The following data show the weight (pounds) and price ($) for ten racing bicycles reviewed by the magazine. Model Weight Price Fierro 7B 17.9 2200 HX 5000 16.2 6350 Durbin Ultralight 16 8490 Schmidt 16.2 6300 WSilton Advanced 17.5 4100 bicyclette vélo 15.2 8500 Supremo Team 16.5 6200 XTC Racer 17.6 2680 D’Onofrio Pro 17.5 4500 Americana #6 13.6 8200 Use the data to develop an estimated regression equation that could be used to estimate the price for a bicycle given its weight. What is the estimated regression model? Group of answer choices y = -1512x + 30578 y = 1351x + 26327 y = -1161x + 24489 y = -1457x + 27903 y = 1341x + 25176
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…
31% of American adults surveyed stated that giving up their phone for a day would be more difficult that giving up their significant other. In 2012, the United States population over the the age 18 was approximately 240,210,000. According to recent research from the pew foundation, 91% of all Americans adults have cell phones of some type. Use the statistics given to determine the approximate number of American adults who would find giving up their phone more difficult than giving up their partner.

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.

Lou Reed is the primary accountant and 1 of 87 employees at The Velvet Underground, a company that manufactures professional grade recording equipment and mixing boards. By the end of their third year, 2017, TVU had already turned a $150,000 profit. At that time, Lou used analytics to estimate promising sales of a new device TVU planned to sell. Unfortunately, the new device did not live up to expected potential. At the end of the following year, 2018, Lou was tasked with using analytics to figure out why the device did not sell well, and how those sales might be improved. Fortunately, in 2019, sales of the device increased, along with all of the company's other products. Each time Lou utilized analytics, he had to access a number of different databases to find all the data he needed. Velvet Underground's sales revenue grew from $250,000 in 2018 to $1 million in 2019, prompting Lou to upgrade his QuickBooks software. Which type of data analytics did Lou utilize in 2017?
