Applying simulation to decison problems:You have been asked to explain to a colleague, who is unfamiliar with risk analysis, how these results are likely to have been derived. Draft some notes for your colleague and include in your notes an evaluation of the usefulness of the technique Trentware plc is a medium-sized pottery manufacturer which is based in the English Potteries. Thecompany has fared badly over the last 10 years, mainly as a result of Japanese competition, andrecently this has led to major changes at the senior management level. The new managing director isdetermined to increase the company's market share, and you are a member of the ambitious newmanagement team which intends to extend the company's range of tableware designs. Trentware'simmediate objective is to launch a new high-quality product for the Christmas market in 18 months'time. Over 30 possible designs have been subjected to both technical analysis (to assess theirproduction implications) and extensive market research. As a result of this analysis, the number ofpotential designs has now been winnowed down to six. Some of these designs are thought to offermore risk than others because of changes in fashion, similarities to competing products and possibleproduction problems. Now one design has to be selected from the six remaining. Risk analysis hasbeen applied to each of these six designs and some of the main results are given below:DesignMean NPV ($000)Standard deviation of NPV ($000)150322123202944685-493166030

Multiple Regression, Confidence Intervals, Reliability of Cost Formulas Randy Harris, controller, has been given the charge to implement an advanced cost management system. As part of this process, he needs to identify activity drivers for the activities of the firm. During the past four months, Randy has spent considerable effort identifying activities, their associated costs, and possible drivers for the activities' costs. Initially, Randy made his selections based on his own judgment using his experience and input from employees who perform the activities. Later, he used regression analysis to confirm his judgment. Randy prefers to use one driver per activity, provided that an R2 of at least 80 percent can be produced. Otherwise, multiple drivers will be used, based on evidence provided by multiple regression analysis. For example, the activity of inspecting finished goods produced an R2 of less than 80 percent for any single activity driver. Randy believes, however, that a…
[Statistics] Use R or RStudio Context of the problem:Fire damage in the United States amounts to billions of dollars, much of it insured. The time taken to arrive at the fire is critical. This raises the question, Should insurance companies lower premiums if the home to be insured is close to a fire station? To help make a decision, a study was undertaken wherein a number of fires were investigated. The distance to the nearest fire station (in miles) and the percentage of fire damage were recorded. Here is the data set: Distance Percent7.5 688.3 666.2 341.6 305.6 706 624.3 478.1 725.7 400.3 531.6 182.5 485.8 535.3 486.3 643.4 526.2 613.2 346.3 656.1 664.6 336.7 760.5 343.2 465.3 555 334.8 466.4 490.2 174.9 476.2 637.6 696.6 542.9 522.1 434.8 358.1 581.2 54.6 464 576.1 400.8 395.9 426.5 626.5 527.5 767.2 676.7 454.1 234 334.8 594…
Critique each of the following proposed research plans. Your critique should explain any problems with the proposed research and describe how the research plan might be improved. Include a discussion of any additional data that need to be collected and the appropriate statistical techniques for analyzing the data. - A researcher is interested in determining whether time spent in prison has a permanent effect on a person’s wage rate. He collects data on a random sample of people who have been out of prison for at least fifteen years. He collects similar data on a random sample of people who have never served time in prison. The data set includes information on each person’s current wage, education, age, ethnicity, gender, tenure (time in current job), and occupation, as well as whether the person was ever incarcerated. The researcher plans to estimate the effect of incarceration on wages by regressing wages on an indicator variable for incarceration, including in the regression the…
Based from the photo, This is the step1, so step 2 and step 3 and Step 4 must be answered. (Step 2: Test Statistic -Pearson's r correlation coefficient AND Step 3: Critical Values, and Step 4: Solve For the test stat) so based it from the photo. The table shows the number of hours spend by 30 students in studing and their test scores. Solve for the Pearson’s r and interpret the results. Use 5% significance level. Step 1: Null and Alternative Hypothesis Ho: r = 0; There is no significant relationship between the number of hours spent studying and the students test scores. Ha: r ≠ 0; There is a significant relationship between the number of hours spent studying and the students test scores. Step 2: Test Statistic -Pearson's r correlation coefficient Step 3: Critical Values, Step 4: Solve For the test stat PLEASE SHOW ME COMPLETE SOLUTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS THANK YOU!! It was a pleasure to me. HIGHLIGHT STEP 4: (step 4 is must)!!

True or False? Multivariable methods include a number of specific procedures to simultaneously assess the relationships between several exposures or risk factor variables and a single outcome.
One of the main issues that censuses are not considered as a feasible option for studies beside being logistically demanding is: Select one: a. Populations contains too many variables and cannot be analyzed. b. Censuses are not accurate because we cannot use statistics with it. c. None of the mentioned reasons is a valid reason. d. Samples are easier to work with than census that is what makes use samples. e. Populations are dynamic and very rarely stand still.

I have conducted a survey on customer satisfaction based on the following proposed hypotheses: H1: The better the food quality, the greater the customers’ satisfaction. H2: The better the restaurant’s ambience, the greater the customers’ satisfaction. H3: The better the service quality, the greater the customers’ satisfaction. After running the raw data, I have derived the following statistical report from the statistical software and it is illustrated as below: SUMMARY OUTPUT Regression Statistics Multiple R 0.99794806 R Square 0.99512648 Adjusted R Square 0.99513164 Standard Error 1.64839211 Observations 20 ANOVA df SS MS F Significance F Regression Missing 10561.07486 Missing 1295.585 2.66E-19 Residual 16 43.47514498 2.717197 Total 19 10604.55 Coefficients Standard Error t Stat P-Value Intercept 0.562 1.327 0.424 0.677 Food quality 0.959…

You may need to use the appropriate appendix table or technology to answer this question. Sparr Investments, Inc., specializes in tax-deferred investment opportunities for its clients. Recently Sparr offered a payroll deduction investment program for the employees of a particular company. Sparr estimates that the employees are currently averaging $100 or less per month in tax-deferred investments. A sample of 39 employees will be used to test Sparr's hypothesis about the current level of investment activity among the population of employees. Assume the employee monthly tax-deferred investment amounts have a population standard deviation of $75 and that a 0.05 level of significance will be used in the hypothesis test. (a) What is the type II error in this situation? O Reject Sparr Investments' claim that the employees are currently averaging $100 or less per month in tax-deferred investments when it is true. O Reject Sparr Investments' claim that the employees are currently averaging…
