Suppose that Glitter Gulch, a gold mining firm, increased its sales revenues on newly mined gold from $100 million to $300 million between one year and the next. Assuming that the price of gold increased by 100 percent over the same period, by what numerical amount did Glitter Gulch's real output change? If the price of gold had not changed, what would have been the change in Glitter Gulch's real output?

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.)

The bad news, says CDC is that average BMI (body mass index, a weight-for-height formula used to measure obesity) has increased among adults...” Boston is considered one of America’s healthiest cities – is the weight gain since 1960 similar in Boston? A sample of n=28 adults suggested a mean increase of 19.5 pounds over the mean recorded in 1960 with a standard deviation of 8.6 pounds. Is Boston statistically significantly different in terms of weight gain from the national mean since 1960? Run the appropriate test at a 5% level of significance. Please use the five steps to demonstrate proper hypothesis testing and explain your results. Please do not use any software calculations.arrow_forward
