Concept explainers

A contingency table can be defined as the visual representation of the relationship between two or more categorical variables that can be evaluated and registered. It is a categorical version of the scatterplot, which is used to investigate the linear re…

Binomial Distribution

Binomial is an algebraic expression of the sum or the difference of two terms. Before knowing about binomial distribution, we must know about the binomial theorem.

Chapter 13, Problem 34E

Refer to Exercise 16.

a. Determine the .95 confidence interval, in thousands of dollars, for the mean of all sales personnel who make 40 contacts.
b. Determine the .95 prediction interval, in thousands of dollars, for a particular salesperson who makes 40 contacts.

16. Mr. James McWhinney, president of Daniel-James Financial Services, believes there is a relationship between the number of client contacts and the dollar amount of sales. To document this assertion, Mr. McWhinney gathered the following sample information. The x column indicates the number of client contacts last month and the y column shows the value of sales ($ thousands) last month for each client sampled.

Chapter 13, Problem 34E, Refer to Exercise 16. a. Determine the .95 confidence interval, in thousands of dollars, for the

a. Determine the regression equation.
b. Determine the estimated sales if 40 contacts are made.

Compare Compare Correlation is the measure of the degree of the relationship between the variables. In regression, the relationship between the variables to predict one by another is assessed. In correlation there is no cause and effect between the variables, whereas in regression there is a cause and effect between the variables. By using correlation, we cannot predict anything, but regression is a predictive tool. Coefficients are symmetrical in correlation but in regression they are asymmetrical. Correlation is independent of change in origin and scale, but regression is not independent of change in scale.

Question 2: When John started his first job, his first end-of-year salary was $82,500. In the following years, he received salary raises as shown in the following table. Fill the Table: Fill the following table showing his end-of-year salary for each year. I have already provided the end-of-year salaries for the first three years. Calculate the end-of-year salaries for the remaining years using Excel. (If you Excel answer for the top 3 cells is not the same as the one in the following table, your formula / approach is incorrect) (2 points) Geometric Mean of Salary Raises: Calculate the geometric mean of the salary raises using the percentage figures provided in the second column named “% Raise”. (The geometric mean for this calculation should be nearly identical to the arithmetic mean. If your answer deviates significantly from the mean, it's likely incorrect. 2 points) Starting salary % Raise Raise Salary after raise 75000 10% 7500 82500 82500 4% 3300…
