Bob and Pat are trying to decide where to spend their retirement. They have narrowed the field to four retirement centers. Their decision will be based largely upon the quality of care offered at the hospitals local to each of the retirement communities. They are researching the closest vicinity hospital to each of the retirement centers, and they want to know each hospital's death rate.
Use the statistics listed in Table 6 to calculate the gross death rate (rounded to 1 decimal place) for each retirement center.

- John Kittle, an independent insurance agent, uses a five-year moving average to forecast the number of claims made in a single year for one of the large insurance companies he sells for. He has just discovered that a clerk in his employ incorrectly entered the number of claims made four years ago as 1,400 when it should have been 1,200.a. What adjustment should Mr. Kittle make in next year’s forecast to take into account the corrected value of the number of claims four years ago?b. Suppose that Mr. Kittle used simple exponential smoothing with a = .2instead of moving averages to determine his forecast. What adjustment is now required in next year’s forecast? (Note that you do not need to know the value of the forecast for next year in order to solve this problem.)arrow_forwardKahuna's Credit Union conducted a survey as to how long customers claimed to wait in the checkout line until their turn.

To conduct an advertising campaign for the product, you need to make a claim about the number of automobile thefts per year. Since the population of various cities in the United States varies, you decide to use rates per 10,000 people. (The rates are based on the number of people living in the cities.) Your boss said that last year the theft rate per 10,000 people was 44 vehicles. You want to see if it has changed. The following are rates per 10,000 people for 36 randomly selected locations in the United States. Assume σ = 30.3.
