Can somone let me know why I am not able to copy/paste the formula from n8 to cells n9 to 16 please?
Enter a formula in cell N8 using the VLOOKUP function to find an exact match for the department code. Look up the department code (cell N7) using an absolute reference, search the employee table data (the range B7:K17) using absolute references, and return the department name (the 2nd column).
Copy the formula in cell N8 to the range N9:N16, pasting the formula only, and then edit the copied formulas to return the value from the column indicated by the label in column M.
Patxiko just opened his website, where he sells his Patxaran online. His websites gatheres all kinds of data from
customers navigation (time spent on each page, how long the customer has products in his cart before
purchasing, what he purchased, etc). He is trying to optimize the website to increase the probability of a
purchase. First, he wants to predict whether a customer will purchase or not. What model would you advise him
to use? Suggest two methods and explain how one of them works.

After careful study the manager found that the number of stops ranged from one to five per cycle and that each number of stops was equally likely. Using the random numbers 0.17 and 0.47 (in that order), determine how many stops for adjustments each of the next two cycles will have. The first cycle will have stops and the second cycle will have stops.arrow_forwardPlease do not give solution in image format thankuarrow_forwardSolve (xex + y) dx − x dy = 0arrow_forward

- Fire Department Turns to BI Analytics. New York City has nearly one million buildings, and each year, more than 3000 of them experience a major fire. The Fire Department of the City of New York (FDNY) is adding BI analytics to its arsenal of firefighting equipment. It has created a database of over 60 different factors (e.g., building location, age of the building, whether it has electrical issues, the number and location of sprinklers) in an attempt to determine which buildings are more likely to have a fire than others. The values of these parameters for each building are fed into a BI analytics system that assigns each of the city's 330,000 inspectable buildings a risk score. (FDNY doesn't inspect single and two-family homes.) Building inspectors then use these risk scores to prioritize which buildings to visit on their weekly inspections. The FDNY has roughly 350 inspectors who are trained and certified to perform their duties.Which set of three parameters all provide measures…arrow_forwardCompared to the area between z = 1.00 and z = 1.25, the area between z = 2.00 and z = 2.25 in the standard normal distribution will be: A- smaller B- larger C- the same D- impossible to compare without knowing μ and σarrow_forwardGraph and Solve.
